Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Faculty, Students, and Alumni Participated in this year's COM Research Poster Session.
We are pleased to recognize Dr. Mam Mboge, a Fall 2018 graduate of the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Department, Cancer Biology concentration, who is the first author on two recent publications.
Two recent graduates of our Biochemistry and Molecular Biology concentration, Drs. Lauren Douma and Kristen Solocinski are co-first authors on a paper that has been highlighted as one of this month's "best of the best" as part of the American Physiological Society's (APS) APSselect program!
Aishwarya Gurumurthy, graduate student in Dr. Jörg Bungert's lab, was honored to have her manuscript published in BioEssays.
Dr. Joeva Barrow, a 2013 graduate of Dr. Jörg Bungert's labratory, is an assistant professor of Molecular Nutrition and Biochemistry at Cornell University and her research program centers around mitochondrial biology with a specific focus on mitochondrial disease and associated metabolic disorders such as obesity.
She was selected to receive this distinguished Innovator of the Year award because of the breadth and depth of her work with AAV (adeno-associated virus) gene therapy and the impact her work has had, and will have, on the global good.
Researchers from Dr. Mavis Agbandje-McKenna's laboratory at UF and the Salk Institute have obtained an unprecedented view of a gene-delivery virus, paving the way for further development of improved gene therapies.
The Fall 2017 cohort of Ph.D. graduate students have successfully selected a mentor and research concentration. The Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences recognized this important milestone with an inaugural Mentor-Match Celebration on August 16, 2018.
