Carolyn Clabo, Author at Biochemistry and Biophysics

Stay safe in 2020! Live with LP is back on the air. This edition will cover events from November 2019 through February 2020. As you all know, COVID-19 has taken over our lives. However, so many wonderful things have happened in the department over the past few months. Since we anticipate significant changes in our operations for the foreseeable future, please follow university coronavirus updates closely and stay safe! Many thanks to Carolyn Clabo for helping me assemble this edition.

Campbell and Bergmeier labs collaborative research featured on the cover of the March 2020 issue of the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH)!

On March 1, 2020, Robert Lee, PhD was promoted to Research Assistant Professor. His centered around platelet signaling and function.

On February 10th 2020, graduate student Odessa Goudy of Kuhlman lab gave a talk at Winter RosettaCON entitled, “Designing safer cancer immunotherapies: Autoinhibited PD-1 decoys.” Winter RosettaCON was held at the Simons Foundation, 160 Fifth Avenue in New York City, NY.

Aziz Sancar, MD, PhD, the Sarah Graham Kenan Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, has been named the 2019 recipient of the Hyman L. Battle Distinguished Cancer Research Award.

Hanna Trzeciakiewicz, fifth year Biochemistry graduate student, is awarded two, not just one, honorable and prestigious UNC awards.

The award, which recognizes the research achievements of young tenured faculty, is made possible through a generous donation from Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang with additional financial support from Mr. To Hing Wu. This is the fourth annual class of Yang Family Biomedical Scholars, and the recipients are Chad Pecot, Li Qian, Gregory Scherrer, Greg Wang.

Histone mRNA-cleaving machine, crucial for healthy cell division, yields up its secrets after almost half a century of research. Zbigniew Dominski, PhD, and William Marzluff, PhD, led this effort at the UNC School of Medicine, along with key collaborators at Columbia University and Rockefeller University.

Kanishk Jain postdoctoral fellow Strahl lab 2020

Published in Epigenetics & Chromatin. The work was authored by Dr. Kanishk Jain, a postdoctoral trainee in Dr. Brian D. Strahl's lab, and collaborators from Dr. Mark T. Bedford's lab at MD Anderson and EpiCypher Inc.

Bhisham Chera, MD, and Gaorav Gupta, MD, PhD, led a study of a blood test to accurately detect HPV-linked head and neck cancer recurrence and confirm when there was no evidence of disease.
