Congratulations to Kanishk Jain on his new Assistant Professor position with the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

We remain one of the most hashtag#NIH-funded hashtag#biochemistry programs in the nation, according to the most recent Blue Ridge Institute rankings. We are proud of all our hashtag#research teams for their hard work and accomplishments! Since our founding in 1935, we are proud to have contributed important scientific advances, and we routinely rank among the top departments in the field. In 2023 we ranked 5th overall for NIH funding and 4th for public institutions.

This study, “A genomic database furnishes minimal functional glycyl-tRNA synthetases homologous to other, designed class II urzymes”, now Online in Nucleic Acids Research journal with open access, was driven by first author Dr. Sourav Kumar Patra. Carter lab previously designed the urzymes but this time we found it from natural source. Which Supports our AI driven study of Urzyme model throughout past many years.
