Kathryn Paasch participated in the Dennis Dean Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship Conference this year. Paasch presented on the Biochemical Characterization of a Flavin-Dependent Monooxygenase from Zonocerus variegatus. Way to go!🧑‍🔬 Virginia Tech Research Pablo Sobrado

Fantastic presentations at the ⁦Gordon Research Conferences⁩ on Enzymes, co- enzymes and metabolic pathways. The poster sessions where impressive! Thanks to the chairs. I look forward to the 2023 version!

Be part of our team! The Sobrado laboratory seeks to fill a Research Specialist I position in the Department of Biochemistry. Apply here: careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/j…

Sydney Johnson, biochemistry doctoral student in Pablo Sobrado, was the recipient of the Biochemistry Teaching Award at our annual holiday party earlier this month. Congratulations and well done! 🥳 BcGSA

Congratulations Dr. Sydney Johnson (Sydney Johnson ) for a successful PHD defense. We will miss you and can’t wait to learn about all the great things you will accomplish in your career. VT Biochemistry

Congratulations, Dr. Johnson! Thank you for everything you have done for the lab and the department. We are very happy for you and wish you the best in your career! Sydney Johnson VT Biochemistry Virginia Tech CALS

Congratulations Sydney Johnson . !! Another publication from her Ph.D. work is out in ChemBioChem. Check it out!! VT Biochemistry …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cb…

Nitrone biosynthesis: Pablo Sobrado and colleagues VT Biochemistry use kinetics, mutagenesis, spectroscopy and modeling to develop a proposed mechanism for the "cautious" flavin-dependent monooxygenase OxaD. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #flavin #flavoenzyme #biosynthesis #biocatalysis

I have another publication out! Thanks Pablo Sobrado for your support and mentorship!!

Another one in Boston ☘️

There’s more to blue cheese than just the stench. Virginia Tech researchers discovered a way to synthesize a compound in the mold of blue cheese that has antibacterial and anticancer properties. Congratulations Sydney Johnson and Pablo Sobrado😎👏news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…
