UNC Biochemistry and Biophysics researchers led by Brian Strahl, PhD, and Jibo Zhang detail how a newly defined domain in a protein regulates gene expression, and how cells compensate when this normal process is disrupted. These insights have implications for cancer research. Co-author of the Genes & Development paper is Aakanksha Gundu, an undergraduate student at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Join the fifth event in the Race, Racism & Racial Equity series, “Transformational Research: Dismantling Systems of Oppressions in Justice, Education and Health.”

#GivingTuesday is a national movement that celebrates generosity and kicks off the season of giving. This year we are proud to participate again, as part of the UNC Health Foundation, with our very own #TarHealTuesday. As the season of giving approaches, we encourage you to become a campaign CHAMPION - promote our BCBP fundraising event over social media.

The holiday season can be a stressful and difficult time, and resources are available to help.
