We are STILL celebrating our #BlackInBiophysics leadership for becoming HHMI #HannaGrayFellows!!! 🥳🎊🙌🏾 Congratulations Jhullian J. Alston, PhD and Whitney Stevens-Sostre, PhD Boricua 🇵🇷!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I’m excited to share William Grubbe paper was just published. He was relentless and methodical. Thank you to all our authors and collaborators at UChicago: Bixia, Minglei, Engin at the NIH: Jake and team. Special thanks to Mila ProkuninaOlsson nature.com/articles/s4146…

Applications for the 2025 Hanna Gray Fellows Program are now open! Submit yours by February 26, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. ET and take the first step toward a future powered by discovery and collaboration. Apply today! hhmi.org/programs/hanna…

The 7th Challenges in Structural Biology Summit will be 9/9-12/25 at UCLAs Lake Arrowhead Resort. Brent Nannenga and I are taking nominations for speakers. Please write, self nominations are OK. Focus is on methods and challenges. Everyone speaks. Limited to 50 speakers/attendees

Thank you UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering for this great write up covering our new story! pme.uchicago.edu/news/protein-e…

#UChicagoPME researchers in the Juan L. Mendoza Group have developed a method to produce an immune protein to facilitate future studies on why it makes immune responses worse. 📰pme.uchicago.edu/news/protein-e…

It’s our favorite time of the year to flood your timeline with #BlackExcellence in BME. Kicking off the 2025 showcase is last year’s Alan T. Waterman award winner Bisi Bell at Johns Hopkins University (Johns Hopkins BME).

Whether developing new #technology or materials or uncovering new functions of proteins and #viruses, #UChicagoPME faculty are at the forefront of #immunoengineering research. Here are a few recent breakthroughs: pme.uchicago.edu/news/immunoeng… Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network Sihong Wang Juan L. Mendoza

Happy to share our paper in Nature Communications with Oscar Florez-Vargas Ozkar and team! We explore a VNTR as a functional GWAS lead for bladder and many other cancers, and show mechanism in cancer, telomere length, and longevity nature.com/articles/s4146…

Such a privilege to meet and sit next to Janet Ramsey on my flight back from DC. Janet is fighting metastatic breast cancer and still went to DC to talk to our representatives about the importance of research funding. More on her story: komen.org/blog/mbcatc-ac…

New research from UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering reveals that CAR T-cell therapy expands in two distinct waves—a breakthrough that could transform how we personalize cancer treatment. Read more: pme.uchicago.edu/news/car-t-cel… #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #CAR_T

A $21M gift to the University of Chicago will establish the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine — launching a bold scientific field that merges quantum technology with biology to transform the future of medicine and patient care. 🔗pme.uchicago.edu/news/uchicago-…

#ImmuneTolerization is gaining traction, and today at #GrandRoundsUS25, leaders from COUR Pharma, Sanofi, The University of Chicago, AbbVie, and more are unpacking why.

mRNAs encoding adjuvant proteins boost immunity. A fantastic study from Hunter et al shows the value of IL12. Study validates original work on this concept, ref below. Kudos to the authors on this exciting discovery! ChrisHunter Penn Vet science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Tay Lab is looking for a computational postdoc to work on proximity sequencing projects. Our new experimental pipelines extend this method to spatially resolved tissue measurements, intracellular proteins, as well as protein modifications like glycosylation, phosphorylation, etc.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree with this administration on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think that this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake ... cancer ... your budget requests a 38%

I am happy to share that we have a great opportunity for a postdoctoral scientist. Please share. hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…
