"The valley of death." It's the critical and often underfunded gap between the creation of a new innovation + its adoption in the marketplace. The Trask Innovation Fund is helping @PUCancerInst move #cancer innovations from concept to commercial potential. @PurdueInnovates
🚨 Check out the latest preprint from the Hanna Lab — a collaboration between Ant Murphy, Basilia (BozhiI) Liu, Annaleigh Powell-Benton and more, including coauthors from the PICR community!
While pursuing her degree, #Boilermaker Gabriella Conjelko is changing lives. She and her twin founded #StridesForSarcoma to raise awareness of rare pediatric cancers, inspired by her young cousin’s fight. Join her tomorrow, July 25, in supporting #cancer research.
📘 PICR member Casey Krusemark has written a new book on a powerful way to speed up drug discovery. It shows how massive libraries of DNA-linked chemicals can help scientists find promising new medicines faster.
Purdue Today’s “In Print” series is highlighting Casey Krusemark, professor of medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology in @purduepharmacy, and his book, “DNA-encoded Library Technology for Drug Discovery.” 📚purdue.university/4lJTNWD
Each month, the @BigTenCRC highlights examples of discovery and impact from member institutions. Check out the latest, which includes a spotlight on PICR member and @purduepharmacy assoc. prof. Sandro Matosevic!
This month’s Across the Consortium spotlights a wide range of updates from our member institutions. The July issue covers everything from grant-funded studies to community health outreach. Don't miss it! Read more: bigtencrc.org/across-the-con…
A #Purdue legend. A pioneer. Great photos honoring the life and impact of Nobel Laureate Ei-ichi Negishi, whose work revolutionized how we build complex organic molecules, enabling breakthroughs like the vital cancer drug Taxol.
We are remembering our colleague Ei-ichi Negishi who would have turned 90 years old today. Born July 14, 1935, earned the #NobelPrize in Chemistry in 2010, and died June 6, 2021, after a 40+ year career at #Purdue
Purdue researchers led by CIGP and PULSe faculty member, Daisuke Kihara, advance RNA medical discovery decades ahead of schedule. Their program, NuFold, will use computational modeling to help bridge the gap of scarcity in library of RNA structures. More: purdue.edu/science/about/…
A new study from the Scarpelli Lab investigating the possibility of using ferumoxytol to enhance radiation-induced abscopal effect in secondary tumors found improved primary tumor control, but no effect on secondary tumors. aapm.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mp… #medphys #PurdueHHS #Purdue
Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July! Stay safe as you celebrate 🎉 🎇 #July4th
How a protein folds. How a pathway fails. How a cell escapes what should kill it. We investigate cancer at its most fundamental level — to drive the future of diagnostics, therapies, and cures.
Great to be at UMass RNA Institute to hear amazing talks including @PurdueBiolSci Leifu Chang presenting on structures of CRISPR transposons that provide critical insights to the field. @LeifuChangLab. Of course having 2 Nobel Prize winning scientists there adds to the excitement
