Lab-related news
11/10/09 I will be attending the upcoming annual meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (November 18-22, Washington DC) along with colleagues Erin Engelson, Fred Buckner, and Wes Van Voorhis. I will present the poster "Linking anti-Plasmodium compounds to their protein targets via high-throughput enzyme activity assays" (a collaboration between our lab and a GNF group led by Kelli Kuhen) on Thursday the 19th.

7/15/09 Our paper Buffer optimization of thermal melt assays of Plasmodium proteins for detection of small-molecule ligands has been published in the July 2009 issue of the Journal of Biomolecular Screening.
6/5/09 My HTS assay development guide has been added to my research advice page.
6/3/09 Phil Rodenbough, our lab technician specializing in enzyme activity assays, is leaving for the Peace Corps at the end of this month, so we need to replace him. The job is listed as Req # 54790 at http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/jobs/apl/. Questions are welcome.
6/2/09 Links to my enzyme assay troubleshooting guide and lab notebook guidelines have been added to my research advice page. Comments are welcome.
5/14/09 Today I gave a short talk at a meeting of scientists and businessmen from Washington and Queensland, which is Washington's "sister state" in Australia. The talk -- an overview of work in the Van Voorhis lab -- was called Drug Discovery for Neglected Tropical Diseases.
5/13/09 UW is currently soliciting entries for its Pocketmedia Film Festival. With the help of several colleagues and their children, I have made a short video for this festival. It is sort of about our malaria research.
3/4/09 Diana Chung has been accepted into Ohio State's PharmD/PhD program, and Kuzma Kovzun has been awarded a Mary Gates Research scholarship. Congratulations to both!
2/28/09 Our manuscript "Buffer optimization of thermal melt assays of Plasmodium proteins for detection of small-molecule ligands" has been accepted by the Journal of Biomolecular Screening. Hooray for us!
