🧠On #WorldBrainDay, meet researchers Eric Minikel & Sonia Vallabh, on a mission to stop prion disease—a rare, fatal brain disorder. They're developing a therapy to lower PrP, the protein that misfolds & triggers a deadly chain reaction in the brain: ow.ly/2CVl50WtFTM.

Matt Gentry & others have developed multiple therapeutics to treat neurological glycogen storage diseases that are currently in preclinical and clinical development. Learn how Gentry & colleagues are targeting GSDs from 3 different biochemical angles: ow.ly/HOeC50WvBtQ.

In a recent study published in @molcellprot, researchers at @LUMC_Leiden & Utrecht University used proteomics to show that proteins, including antibodies & autoantibodies, pass from blood into joint fluid without bias in RA patients. ow.ly/nsmC50WvBzJ #RheumatoidArthritis
For the past 8 weeks this summer, I have been co-facilitating the Art of Science Communication class by @ASBMB, focusing on sharing our science to a non-expert audience. I highly recommend the class for any early career scientist looking to develop their communication skills!
"I've been able to incorporate the chemistry side of things, working with different molecules and looking at cytotoxic screening ... But also embrace the willingness to learn new techniques and the translational aspects of research." —Elizabeth Kaweesa ow.ly/BwA350Wur0N
Meet Elizabeth Kaweesa! 🌟 From facing gender biases in Uganda's science classes to earning her biochemistry degree in the U.S., her journey is one of resilience. Now, she's pursuing a PhD at @OregonState after applying past the deadline. asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe… @ASBMB
ASBMB’s Transforming Undergraduate Education in Molecular Life Sciences meeting starts in just 2 days! Get excited for this year’s event and its powerful theme by reading a Q&A with the organizers: ow.ly/lN3250WtG5a. #asbmbTUEMLS #BiochemistryEducation #STEMTeaching
Recently published in @molcellprot “An automated workflow to address proteome complexity and the large search space problem in proteomics and HLA-I immunopeptidomics” by Horokhovskyi et al. mcponline.org/article/S1535-… @ASBMB @JLiepe @hanna_roetschke
🧠 It’s #WorldBrainDay! Meet Bryan Cruz, a postdoc studying how PTSD and alcohol use disorder impact the neurochemistry of the central amygdala, a brain region key to stress, anxiety, and addiction. ow.ly/6IWO50WtEV1 #Neuroscience #AddictionResearch #Amygdala

Congratulations to Steven Fliesler, who received recent awards from @Jacobs_Med_UB and the American Oil Chemists' Society for his outstanding contributions to research and service and for upholding high standards of academic integrity. ow.ly/mnNY50Wt1Hq #ASBMBmemberMonday

During a 2024 webinar titled, “Breaking the mold: Exploring #AI tools and alternative assessments in BMB education,” ASBMB educators shared how they use AI to save time, increase accessibility & prepare students for a changing world. More via @liuswrites: asbmb.org/asbmb-today/ed….
Upcoming opportunities for scientists: ➡️Nominate a colleague for the distinction of ASBMB fellow to honor. Deadline: Sept. 15. ➡️Register for ASBMB's symposium on proteomics by July 23. ➡️Register ASBMB's webinar on post-translational modification. ow.ly/J9lk50Wsalj
Our review paper is out from @jbiolchem. We discuss the complex ribosome dynamics during mRNA translation, its regulation, and the cellular consequences. Huge thanks to @shubing_qian and the lab members. jbc.org/article/S0021-…
An Editor's Pick paper at @jbiolchem! Don't forget to read the profile about the first author @li_xiuxiu_ at the end of our paper on HSD3B1 and breast cancer! Dr. Li recently moved from @dsui_miami_uro and @SylvesterCancer to @ONealCancerUAB sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
