Congratulations to Josi on receiving a pre-doctoral training grant from the Environmental Pathology/Toxicology training program (EP/T) funded by NIEHS! This will support her work on the effect of quaternary ammonium compounds on neurodevelopment. Great job, Josi!
We are awarded the inaugural Faculty Innovation Fund by the School of Pharmacy!
Our collaborative project with Prof. Brian Werth in the Department of Pharmacy on lipidomics studies of antibiotic resistance was awarded the Faculty Innovation Fund by the school! This fund will serve as a catalyst to move this project forward. Congratulations, team!
Kelly awarded Young Investigator Travel Grant by MSACL!
Congratulations to Kelly for receiving the Young Investigator Travel Grant to attend the MSACL – 2017 and being chosen to give a podium presentation! Well deserved, Kelly!
Our collaborative work on equine neuroaxonal dystrophy was published!
This is a collaboration with Prof. Carrie Finno at UC – Davis. We contributed to this work on the oxysterol analysis! Congrats to Josi, David, and Kelly! Here is the link to the paper.
Welcome Mike Watson to rotate with us this quarter!
We also welcome Mike to join our graduate program and rotate with us this quarter!
We welcome Amy Li to rotate with us this quarter!
Welcome Amy Li to join the Graduate Program of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and rotate with us this quarter!
High school teachers from ATHENA workshop visit our lab!
In collaboration with the Center for Exposures, Diseases, Genomics and Environment (EDGE), we recently hosted about 20 high school teachers from around the State of Washington attending the ATHENA Teacher Workshop. Dr. Xu presented on the topic of Vitamins and Health. The teachers then visited our lab to witness techniques involved in biology, organic chemistry, and mass spectrometry! Here is a link to the blog about this event.
We are awarded a pilot grant from UW EDGE funded by NIEHS!
This pilot grant from the UW Center for Exposures, Diseases, Genomics and Environment (EDGE), a NIEHS funded center, will allow us to study the metabolism and disposition of the common environmental chemicals, quaternary ammonium compounds, by human. We really appreciate the support!
Kelly’s paper on calibration of lipid collision cross section was accepted to Analytical Chemistry!
This paper established a set of calibrants for accurate determination of lipid collision cross section using traveling Wave Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry, which would serve as the foundation for multi-dimensional lipidomics studies. Congrats, Kelly! Check out this paper here.
Welcome Dylan Ross!
We welcome Dylan joining our lab as a graduate student in Medicinal Chemistry! He is interested in ion mobility-mass spectrometry, molecular modeling, and application of these methodologies in solving biochemical and biological problems.
