Ryan’s paper on BAC metabolism was accepted to CRT!
Congratulations to Ryan, Josi, Vanessa, and our former rotation student Joe! Check out the paper here.
Our paper on characterization of drug metabolites by IM-MS was accepted to Analytical Chemistry!
Congratulations, Dylan and Ryan!
Rutan Zhang joins the lab as a senior fellow!
Rutan recently received his PhD in analytical chemistry from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, under the supervision of Prof. Liang Qiao. His expertise is in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and proteomics. Welcome, Rutan!
Vanessa joined the lab and received an EPT training grant!
Vanessa joined our lab in May after rotating with us in the Fall! She recently successfully competed for a training fellowship from the NIEHS-funded Environmental Pathology/Toxicology Training Program with her project on the effect of benzalkonium chlorides on gut microbiome! Congratulations, Vanessa!
Kelly starts her own lab at the University of Georgia!
It was a bitter sweet feeling to say goodbye to Kelly as she heads out to start her own lab in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Georgia in August! We are so proud of you, Kelly! You will be dearly missed!
Students from SHPEP program experienced our lab!
Through the Summer Health Professionals Education Program (SHPEP), we hosted six undergraduate students from across the country for hand-on lab experience in our lab on July 02. The students had fun participating in various experiments led by Quynh, Ryan, Hideaki, and Kelly, such as lipid peroxidation, catalase-catalyzed decomposition of H2O2, tissue culture techniques, lipid extraction, and mass spectrometry!
CoMotion Innovation Gap Fund Awarded!
We are awarded a CoMotion Innovation Gap Fund in the amount of $50,000 to characterize drug metabolites using ion mobility-mass spectrometry!
Josi’s paper on multi-omics analysis of benzalkonium chloride was accepted to Toxicological Sciences and Selected as Cover Art!
In this work, we used a combination of sterolomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics to investigate the consequences of sterol and lipid homeostasis in neonatal brains after in utero exposure. Check out the paper here. Update on 09/10/19, the paper was highlighted in Tox Spotlight and selected as a cover art of the issue!
Xu Lab attended 2019 ASMS meeting!
Kelly, Dylan, Amy, and Josi had fun presenting their work at the ASMS meeting last week (June 02-06), including two oral presentations and two poster presentations! Well done, everyone! Proud of you!
