The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) has announced that a 2022 Molecular Pharmacology Early Career Award will be presented to Dr. Matthew Torres. (Borchers lab & Dohlman lab alum)

Conserved helix-turn-helix motif contributes differentially to #polyubiquitination in various #cellcycle E2 enzymes - via distinct donor/acceptor #ubiquitin interactions. A collaborative effort led by Kaeli Welsh (UNC Pharmacology) who is the lead author amongst the colleagues, Nick Brown (Pharmacology) and Joe Harrison (a former postdoc in Kuhlman lab) and in BCBP (Josh Boyer, Brenda Temple, Derek Bolhuis, Qi Zhang) and other colleagues.

The Coronavirus Variant Sequencing (CORVASEQ) Surveillance Program, led by a team of UNC researchers, has detected the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant in North Carolina. Together, members of the program have sequenced more than 10,000 samples from COVID-19 positive patients to track the spread and development of the virus across the state.

Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Joyce Tan and VC for Research Terry Magnuson reflect on the progress of...

Klaus Hahn and Tim Elston rainbow cell image in Cell publication 2021

This new method, created by the UNC School of Medicine labs of Klaus Hahn and Tim Elston, has the potential to super-charge the study of human proteins as they interact and change their conformations in fundamentally important ways in human health and disease. This research was a collaboration with many UNC departments and The Howard Hughes Medical Institute and was published in Cell!

ASM has honored Dr. Johnson with its William A. Hinton Award for Advancement of a Diverse Community of Microbiologists for his creation of NSURP. Congrats to our 2011 program alum!

ASBMB MOSAIC scholar Cassandra Hayne PhD

We wish to congratulate our 2017 alumnae Cassandra K. Hayne PhD on earning a K99 through the MOSAIC program! Dr. Hayne is a postdoctoral fellow at NIEHS.

A leading biochemist, genetic toxicologist, toxicogenomics and information scientist shares memories of his time in our biochemistry program.

We would like to congratulate all of our graduates for earning their PhDs between August 2019 and May 2021.
