Congratulations to Judith Simcox PhD on winning the Shaw Award! Join us in 214A now for her talk! #MassSpec #Lipids #DiscoverBMB asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe…
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Monica Neugebauer (Monica Elena Neugebauer), who is a 2024 recipient of the Shaw Early Career Research Award! The $200,000 award is sponsored by Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Learn more about Neugebauer's research: biochem.wisc.edu/2024/04/24/neu…
Great job to Lainy Von Bank a graduate student in the Simcox lab who wrote a Cell Metabolism preview on recent work from the Shingo Kajimura Lab. We discuss the impact of a novel function for brown adipocytes in BCAA processing for glucose regulation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Excited for Simcox lab grad student Jess Davidson to present EpiLipidNET next week!
Our 5th #EpiLipidNET meeting comes to an end. Thanks to all participants! Thanks to all speakers and poster presenters! Congratulations to our #YRI awardees! And a huge thank you Maria Fedorova for the organization & all our sponsors for the support! It was a fantastic meeting!
Incredible time at the EpiLipidNET meeting over the past few days! So grateful for the opportunity to present my research, meet so many wonderful people from all over the world, and chat about exciting science over beers!
Delighted to share our perspective Nature Human Behaviour on improving academic mentorship for both faculty and trainees. We identify desired mentor qualities and highlight practices for mentees, faculty, departments, institutions, & funders for implementation. rdcu.be/dJ6yi
Kudos to @LanyVonBank and Judith Simcox PhD on the superb summary of Shingo Kajimura Lab's discovery showing BCAA-derived nitrogen metabolism in BAT is essential for maintaining the systemic GSH pool. shorturl.at/SgNLT
Beautiful work by Kwamina Nyame, Monther Abu-Remaileh, and team! So exciting to have two labs come to the same conclusion. I love that they characterized PLA2G15 activity towards specific BMP compositions. Super important work for NPC disease and understanding these tricky lysosomal lipids!
Pleased to announce the publication of Reji Babygirija's long-awaited paper, "Protein restriction slows the development and progression of pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease" - also reverses metabolic deficits and improves cognition nature.com/articles/s4146…
The rest of Day 1 mass spec summer school was featured with a mass analyzer demo, an excellent lecture on ionization by Rachel Loo, and capped with an inspiring research lecture by Judith Simcox PhD on plasma lipidomics in metabolic disease with a focus on BMP lipid signaling.
Watching trainees achieve their goals and grow is the best part of this job. I had the pleasure of co-mentoring Mugagga with James Ntambi in UW–Madison Biochem, he is leaving for a postdoc in Johns Hopkins. Best wishes in the future! We will be cheering you on.
The Weeks Lab UW–Madison Biochem is hiring at all levels! Broadly, our lab uses engineered enzymes to decipher cellular signaling to advance biological discovery and therapeutic development. If this sounds exciting to you, please reach out! Reposts appreciated. 🧪weekslaboratory.org
Congratulations to Lainy Von Bank for completing her thesis and defense in the Simcox Lab! What impressed me most about Lainy was her ability to always push herself and her fearlessness in tackling the hardest experiments. She is everything I hope for the future of science.
