The lab of Aziz Sancar, MD, PhD, published a paper in the Journal of Biological Chemistry that could inform the creation of 'chronochemotherapies'

To facilitate meetups and networking between members of BCBP, we launched BCBP Synergy.

The UNC-Chapel Hill Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research announced the 2019 Creativity Hubs Awards to accelerate solutions to societal challenges. These are two-year grants for up to $500,000.

Using a new blood test that’s in development, University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers identified characteristics that could be used to personalize treatment for patients with a type of head and neck cancer linked to HPV infection.

Congratulations to Justin Rectenwald a graduate student in Biochemistry and Biophysics, who was awarded the Diane Harris Leadership Award for exemplary public service.

In a study in Nature Communications, Pengda Liu, PhD, Shelton Earp, MD, and their collaborators reported discoveries about a key signaling pathway that can be hyperactive in kidney cancer.

Odessa Goudy has been selected to receive a 2019 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF). Her proposal examined the role of a computationally designed autoinhibitory domain to investigate the impact of the actin depolymerizing factor at the nucleus. Throughout graduate school, Odessa Goudy’s broader outreach plans are to invite students into the laboratory through …

In the online magazine American Scientist in the Science Culture blog, a Cook lab scientific image of cells was showcased. The article, “Finding Beauty in Microscopy,” by Stacey Lutkoski, addresses how Biologists blur the line between art and science. Special thanks to Jacob Matson and Jean Cook for this image that appears to be abstract …
