💯I sent the same message to my grants manager

Meet UW-Madison’s Wei Xu “Prof. Xu is an expert in breast cancer biology. We are excited about the novel targets and mechanisms coming from her research.”

"Prof. Xu is an expert in breast cancer biology. We are excited about the novel targets and mechanisms coming from her research," says Rafael Diaz, WARF licensing manager.

Join us on February 9 for Biochemistry Colloquium with Sara Nowinski @vai.org. The Nowinski Lab is working to understand mitochondria in detail, focusing on the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis pathway. More info: today.wisc.edu/events/view/...

Had this been 2024, we would have had 2 R01s funded with our scores without a doubt but here we are waiting

The delays have cost me 2 employees and it's all so unnecessary. It's wildly frustrating.

Are people actually receiving the money though? Labs I know have had great scores, no NOA, or sometimes NOA, but no money ever comes.

Researchers Link Mutations in RPA Protein to Cancer, Other Diseases Researchers in the Lim Lab reveal that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining stability in our chromosomes may be responsible for serious diseases.

Research from Professor Ci Ji Lim's (@cijilim.bsky.social) lab, published today in @science.org, could provide patients and doctors with new protein mutations to test for certain cancers and bone marrow diseases. Read more: biochem.wisc.edu/2025/10/30/r...

New findings from @cijilim.bsky.social in @uwbiochem.bsky.social identify a protein essential to maintaining the end-caps on chromosomes — helping doctors around the world connect a genetic mutation to their patients' illnesses. biochem.wisc.edu/2025/10/30/r...

TODAY: Join @uwmadisonchem.bsky.social and DSI for back-to-back, AI-related seminars in Chem 1435. At 2:30, Frank Noé will present the Hirschfelder seminar. At 4, Cecilia Clementi will present an AI for Science seminar. Refreshments will be served between the talks. dsi.wisc.edu/events/

In Memoriam: David J. Mangelsdorf, Ph.D., pioneer in orphan nuclear receptor research and Chair of Pharmacology

Very sad to learn of the death of Dave Mangelsdorf. He was an amazing scientist with whom I had the privilege of serving on the Morgridge Institute Science Advisory Board. A very smart and thoughtful man gone far too soon. www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/art...

Position-specific frequency matrices can be used to calculate z-scores comparing enzyme-treated and control samples. The z-scores are plotted as heatmaps that represent an enzyme specificity profile.

New preprint: we developed a method that uses phosphoproteome-derived peptide libraries (PhosPropels) for deep specificity profiling of phosphatases and phospholyases www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It is egregious that RFK Jr requested @annalsofim.bsky.social retraction of this paper because he didn't like the data www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...
