Advances in high-resolution imaging, mass spectrometry and machine-learning-assisted data analysis, spatial-proteomics researchers are mapping and tracking proteins with increasing detail at multiple scales. @nature Neil Kelleher #proteomics go.nature.com/3RGGN6F

Today, we shine a spotlight on our incredible student-led Trainee Association (CTA) which consistently goes above and beyond in creating a vibrant, collaborative environment. bit.ly/4i5QN4g #Community #Leadership #Innovation #StudentResearch #FutureLeaders

Northwestern CSB's Lucks spoke with WBEZ yesterday about what’s next for Northwestern researchers amid funding cuts and work stoppages. "Big picture, our goal as researchers is to help people. That's what we spend all of our days and nights thinking about." bit.ly/42AEIy6

To survey the proteoform landscape of cells and tissues, Neil Kelleher and collaborators built a platform that can measure hundreds of proteoforms at the tissue level with a resolution of the order of a few cells.

🌍 At CSB, every day is Earth Day. Our researchers are safeguarding our future—💧 making water safer to drink, 🌱 uncovering the secrets of soil health, and 🌾 equipping farmers with innovative tools to grow healthier crops. We partner with biology to protect the planet. 🌿🔬

🚨 “We’re doing this for everybody.” $790M in federal cuts have frozen vital research at Northwestern. CSB leaders are speaking out — because this is about clean water, cancer cures, and training future scientists. bit.ly/4iDvqaX #ScienceMatters #ResearchFunding #STEM

It's great to see Northwestern CSB member Erica Hartmann lend her voice to growing concerns about the future of science and innovation in the US in light of major federal funding cuts to academic research. bit.ly/42BHlRF The Hill #researchfunding #syntheticbiology

NIH funding freezes are halting #cancer research at Northwestern. Dr. Joshua Leonard spoke with WBEZ about how delays are impacting work on ovarian & pancreatic cancer therapies. 🎧 wbez.org/reset-with-sas… #CancerResearch #NIH #SciencePolicy

We are thrilled to congratulate CSB's Sera Young on being named co-Director of the Center for Water - a well deserved honor reflecting her outstanding work tackling food and water crises in under-resourced communities!

CSB is thrilled to welcome our incredible summer undergrad researchers! 🎉🔬Thanks to U.S. National Science Foundation, the DeFeo Family Foundation & Walder Foundation for supporting hands-on exploration in #SyntheticBiology. Here's to a summer of curiosity, growth & innovation! #STEM #UndergradResearch

A new vaccine tech from Northwestern CSB's Neha Kamat uses cell-free systems to mimic the deadly Nipah virus—triggering strong immunity in mice. A game-changer for rapid pandemic response. 🧪 Published in ACS Publications → bit.ly/4o7T436 #Biotech #SyntheticBiology

🌍 Excited to join the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future, launched by UNICEF & USAID! Lead poisoning impacts 1 in 2 kids in many LMICs — it’s time to take action on lead in water. 💧 We're proud to help build a lead-free world for every child. bit.ly/4mpAKkl

A new PNASNews study from Northwestern reveals paraspeckles form via protein competition for RNA — not layered binding. Led by Krishna Shrinivas & team, this could reshape cancer therapy by decoding condensate “logic.” 🔗 bit.ly/4ln215U #CancerResearch #RNA

Now, for the first time, CSB's Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering has uncovered the molecular mechanisms that enable organic matter to boost soil’s ability to retain water — even in desert-like conditions. bit.ly/3Jb28UZ

We’re proud to celebrate Christine Akdeniz, winner of the Community Building Award, and Lauren Clark, nominee for the Operations Award at the Office of Research Innovation Awards!👏 They exemplify the very best of CSB. #TeamCSB #InnovationAwards
