Our last Saturday Morning Science of the spring is in two days! Meteorologist Eric Aldrich will float a conversation about how we use weather balloons to forecast and model future weather events. ⛈ 💨⚡️ It starts at 10 a.m. at Columbia's Ragtag Cinema! ow.ly/w5NV50Roqzs

Kim Jasmer (Kimberly Jasmer, PhD), an assistant research professor at the Mizzou Life Sci Center, has come a long way since she first stepped foot on the Mizzou campus. Read about her new NIH R03 grant and the journey it took to get there at: bondlsc.missouri.edu/2024/04/29/fro… #MizzouResearch

Bond LSC is bustling this week with researchers from across the U.S. Scientists at the 40th Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) symposium share insight about plant hormones. They are essential for development & regulation of plants with the environment. Congrats on 40 years!

Congrats Ron Mittler Mizzou, on publication in PNASNews about how muscle cell’s mitochondria missing one iron–sulfur protein can fail to generate energy. This understanding could one day help treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy & muscle atrophy from aging. ow.ly/w4mG50RYLSG

As summer sets in, we’re sharing a glimpse into Mizzou Life Sci Center labs at Mizzou. Walter Gassmann's lab studies how plants defend against dangers like bacteria. His work explores how a plant’s immune machinery contributes to control of immune and other stress responses.

Finding the perfect mentor made all the difference at Mizzou for Michael Arowolo. After working under Dong Xu at Mizzou Life Sci Center for 2 years, Arowolo will soon teach at Xavier University of Louisiana. Read more about his journey here: ow.ly/l5L450SpzSS #MizzouResearch #XULA

Take a glimpse at Mizzou's Roman Ganta's research at @bondlifesci on tick-borne pathogens that cause diseases like ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, & Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. They aim to understand how the pathogens infect & work to develop vaccines for them. #MizzouResearch

Mizzou Life Sci Center principal investigator Bing Yang had the privilege of working in India, made possible by the The Fulbright Program! Read about what he learned here: ow.ly/hQvh50Su0Gq #MizzouResearch #Fulbright

Movement of nutrients within a plant have a substantial impact on how a plant grows. David Mendoza's lab at Mizzou studies molecular & biochemical mechanisms of how a plant accumulates & resists accumulation of heavy metals. We stopped by to peak inside the lab. #MizzouResearch

Are you struggling to decide where to publish your research? Join the discussion tomorrow at NextGen Precision Health building or virtually.

Mizzou Life Sci Center researcher Marc Johnson's recent study on cryptic COVID-19 mutations in wastewater could be his legacy. His groundbreaking work is one step closer to revealing more on long-term infections. Read what he's found: ow.ly/f6M550SIr1E Mizzou #MizzouResearch

One focus in Donald Burke's lab at @bondlifesci is using aptamers to treat cancer. These small DNA or RNA nucleic acids can be loaded with fluorescent RNAs & other substances, allowing Mizzou researchers to target cancer cells while leaving normal tissues untouched. Take a look.

Rachel Carroll in the Wes Warren lab at Mizzou Life Sci Center recently identified gene mutations linked to bladder cancer in fishing cats, paving the way for better conservation strategies. Read about why these cats are important: bondlsc.missouri.edu/2024/08/01/fis… Mizzou #Conservation

Bond LSC is celebrating 20 years of scientists partnering across disciplines to build bonds for discovery. Leading up to our Sept. 26 birthday, we're sharing glimpses of #MizzouResearch from our world-class labs, so check it out. youtu.be/xyD8gSo76VQ

We welcome virologist Anthony Griffiths to campus as a new principal investigator at @bondlifesci & Mizzou Research director of the Laboratory for Infectious Disease Research. He's excited to collaborate and bring new ideas for viral research to Mizzou. ow.ly/MUrX50STia4

You only turn 20 once, so we illustrated some of Bond LSC's great research in recognition of the occasion. Take a look. ⤵️

Grace Raycraft just wrapped her 1st week back in the Peck lab. "I can say my experience as an undergrad researcher has been educational & surreal. I have gained a greater understanding of lab techniques, ... how to work independently, think critically & communicate effectively."

AI is revolutionizing science, helping researchers sift through terabytes of data and push experiments in new, exciting ways. We're psyched to see Mizzou Life Sci Center's Dong Xu at the forefront of that Mizzou Research progress.

Welcome Joe Lynch the newest addition to @bondlifesci. The plant biochemist and MizzouForward hire is eager to continue research on amino acid metabolites in plants & work with a new generation of #Mizzou plant scientists. Read more: ow.ly/Jlwn50TafLr #MizzouResearch

Why watch paint dry when you can check out our new environmental design? These new vinyl decals were installed today in Bond LSC's mezzanine as we prepare for our 20th anniversary! Come check them out Sept. 26 at our celebration bondlsc.missouri.edu/20th/
