Look at that, we have a visitor!

After many months of preparation, we are so excited to kick off #RECOMB2024 RECOMB Conference Series

Thank you to everyone who gathered for the CSB social hour on Friday! We couldn't have asked for a better day.

TECBio is a launch pad for STEM careers. 2018 alumna Gaby Gerlach is applying the research skills she learned in the program into a computational biology PhD. Read more: tinyurl.com/4cw8yasf

Exciting findings from our department! Dr. Jeremy Berg's latest research is focused on improving breast cancer screening for women with a personal history of breast cancer. Read the article in Radiology: tinyurl.com/y75xbuuf

Registration is now open for the next installment of the 2024 Senior Vice Chancellor’s Research Seminar series featuring Assistant Professor of Immunology, Jishnu Das. Find more info and register for your spot at bit.ly/4bii6Fw.

Are you an undergraduate biology instructor looking for some new course material? Check out this free online workshop from @carvunis Lab and learn how to analyze gene expression with bioinformatics tools. Deadline to register is June 14.

Congratulations Gaby and Dr. Carlos!!

CSB has a new digital look! We're excited to announce that our redesigned website is live now. Check it out for the latest department news @ csb.pitt.edu.

🎉New research alert! Associate Professor Mert Gur has published a new article in Science Advances. This study delves into protein-protein interactions, shedding light on how specific interactions can influence cellular processes. tinyurl.com/Science-Advanc…

New research alert! 🎉CPCB student April Rich has investigated the transcriptional regulation and evolution of noncanonical open reading frames (nORFs) outside of annotated genes. Read the findings: tinyurl.com/2nmhec84

Get your spoons ready for TECBio Skills and Chills tomorrow at 3:45 p.m. Enjoy your favorite ice cream with colleagues! 🍨

April Rich, CPCB student, hosted a workshop on teaching educators how to use publicly available datasets and tools for gene expression. Read more about how the @carvunis lab is making bioinformatics more accessible: tinyurl.com/22papu89
