Congratulations, Dylan! He will present his work on studying drug metabolism using ion mobility-mass spectrometry and machine learning. Check out his recent work here.
Our lab and Ed Kelly Lab receive a Faculty Innovation Award from UW School of Pharmacy to study the toxicogenetics of benzalkonium chlorides using “liver-kidney-on-chips”! Check out the announcement here!
This award will help us look at the role of oxysterol detoxification by glutathione S-transferases in Smith-Lenti-Opitz syndrome, a rare disease, but not so rare in terms of carrier frequency (1 in 30)!
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!
We are awarded a CoMotion Innovation Gap Fund in the amount of $50,000 to characterize drug metabolites using ion mobility-mass spectrometry!
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!
Kelly was selected as one of nine finalists for the Postdoc Mentoring Award from a large pool of nominations from 11 schools and colleges! This is a fitting recognition for her dedication in mentoring graduate and undergraduate students in the lab, which we all greatly appreciate! Congratulations, Kelly! Well deserved! Check out the news here.
Well done, Josi!
Check out the conference here. Congrats, Tianwei and Kelly!
Our collaborative project with the Werth lab in the Department of Pharmacy, entitled: “Contribution of altered lipid metabolism to resistance to cell envelope-targeting antimicrobials in MRSA”, was recently awarded a 4-year R01 grant by NIH/NIAID! Congrats to our team members who are key contributors to this project, Kelly Hines, Hideaki Tomita, and Tianwei Shen! We also appreciate earlier support from the School of Pharmacy Faculty Innovation Fund and UW Royalty Research Fund!
