Carolyn Clabo, Author at Biochemistry and Biophysics

Brian Kuhlman PhD professor of UNC biochemistry and biophysics

The award recognizes scientists whose work excels in two key elements: “more productive use of computers to accelerate and facilitate research, and ready access of these programs for the scientific community.”

Congratulations to Saskia Neher, Associate professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics, who received tenure as a UNC faculty effective April 1, 2019.

We appreciate our graduate students for all thier hard work and accomplishments to teaching and research! Graduate students come and enjoy your week of events here at BCBP. We are glad to have you all here! (Most of our events are not limited just to graduate students and we’d love to share these activities with faculty, staff, and post-docs!)

Dr. Carter has been working to unravel some of the biggest mysteries of molecular evolution — that is, how exactly did life on Earth as we know it rise from the primordial, chemical-laden soup four billion years ago. In particular, he investigates how information flows from genes to proteins found in living organisms via genetic coding.

Wolfgang Bergmeier, PhD, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at UNC, has been awarded the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) Outstanding Investigator Award (R35), which supports accomplished leaders in blood research.

Todd Cohen, PhD, and Jonathan Schisler, PhD, will investigate the new ideas related to the regulation of the Tau protein, which plays a role in Alzheimer’s disease.

Liu was one of 28 scientists who were awarded V Scholar Grants in 2018 by the V Foundation for Cancer Research. The two-year, $200,000 grants are designed to identify and advance innovative young scientists who are establishing their research careers.

UNC researchers including Leslie Parise, PhD and doctoral student Alex Chung have designed a novel way to attack an aggressive breast cancer. By working with a drug development company, they hope their laboratory discovery will translate to a new treatment combination in the clinic in the future.

Aziz Sancar, MD, PhD, the winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and the Sarah Graham Kenan Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics, gifted one of 3 replicas of the Nobel Prize medal UNC. It is now on display in the newly installed numismatics exhibit at the Wilson Special Collections Library.
