#newscience alert! This preprint is now peer-reviewed and published in Journal of Biological Chemistry

Please join us in congratulating our Chair, Dr. Celia Schiffer, on her election to the National Academy of Sciences!!!

Took my first walk on the rail trail since fracturing my ankle last month. 🐢 When I came home, I signed up Jill’s Maroon Walkers for the UMass Cancer Walk! 💜 Sign up to walk with me on Sept. 29th. p2p.onecause.com/umasscancerwal…

Stunning rainbow pointing out what we already know - UMass Chan Medical School is a pot of gold!

BMB in the community! On April 19th, the BMB department visited the EcoTarium. We had an educational table with three stations - learn everything about the worms used by scientists in the lab, learn and practice some lab skills, and make scientific art with us!- so much FUN!

Congrats to Jon Watts Hanadi Sleiman Hassan Fakih, Ph.D. Samantha Sarli and the rest of their team on this discovery about how to better deliver drugs to brain tumors (and how to tell if drugs are doing their jobs once they get in)

Celebrate 100 years of “The Cell in Development and Heredity” by Dr. Edmund Wilson with our own Dr. Thoru Pederson as he organizes a collection of Nucleus pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38616309/

How was your vacation week? The BMB Outreach office was out and about! On April 16th & 17th, we partnered with ScienceLIVE STEMary to bring STEAM activities to the Shrewsbury Public Library. The participants searched for microscopic organisms and extracted DNA from fruit!

Even though they're small, viruses are made up of several different parts. Learn more about this #ScienceArt and see even more amazing pieces at our gallery!

ScienceLIVE and the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biotechnology offered vacation week programming at Shrewsbury Public Library. Participants looked at pond samples and built DNA molecules. #WhyUMassChan #STEAM ScienceLIVE UMass Chan Biochemistry & Molecular Biotechnology RNA Therapeutics Institute

#newscience alert! X-Rays can facilitate the formation of hydrogels INSIDE bones deep within tissue (this is something that could not be done using other types of light stimulation!!)
