Resilience Coaches announcement all text on this page

The Carolina Collaborative for Resilience (CCR) provides caring and compassionate support by pairing students with Resilience Coaches. We aim to provide the individualized support that each student needs to thrive at every level of our campus. We are a team of diverse faculty and staff who have received specialized training to help students cope with …

The UNC-CH Biochemistry and Biophysics department moves to establish a Postdoc Working Group with thanks to Kathryn Gunn and Wolfgang Bergmeier. Postdocs and research associates are encouraged to get involved. Meetings are planned quarterly. An inaugural meeting with lunch is planned for March 16th. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP.

The Department ranks fifth among all Biochemistry departments in the US, (both public and private institutions not just public) in 2021. We received over $19.3 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2021.

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has awarded $1.5 million to Charles Carter, PhD, at the UNC School of Medicine, who will lead lab experiments showing how critical molecules precisely interacted, evolved together, and led to life on Earth billions of years ago.

Cathy Spangler successfully defended her dissertation titled “Exploring the Mechanistic Basis of Nucleosome Interactions” on January 27th, 2022 under the direction of Dr. Robert McGinty.

Charlie Carter, Pendga Liu, Saskia Neher, Greg Wang, and other SOM faculty with project start dates from 1/1/2022 -1/15/2022 (the awards listed have a total award amount greater than $100,000).

Jared Peck Dr. Jonathan Fay and Dr. Joshua Strauss

Dr. Jonathan Fay, in collaboration with Jared Peck and Dr. Joshua Strauss of the UNC CH CryoEM Core, published a method paper in ICUrJ (International Union of Crystallography Journal) outlining their success in optimizing the function of a microscope for cryogenic electron microscopy (CryoEM).

In the fall of 2021, the Biochemistry and Biophysics departmental Environmental Task Force started a Green Lab program to encourage labs to use sustainable practices. EFT provides an update on how labs can participate.

"Our findings may help explain, for example, why certain portions of the genome are relatively susceptible to DNA damage during replication in some cancer cells," Dr. Jean Cook told WRAL Tech Wire. The first author of the study is Liu Mei, PhD, postdoc.
