Quynh’s radical clock paper published at J. Org. Chem.!

This improved radical clock allows the measurements of some new lipid peroxidation rate constants, particularly those containing highly conjugated systems, such as vitamin A, vitamin D3, and conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids. With this “clock”, the full kinetic picture of lipid peroxidation can be elucidated now. Congrats to Qunyh, Ryan, Rutan, and our former members David Lee and Andrew Dinh! Check out the paper here.

Amy receives TL1 predoctoral training grant and the Magnuson Scholarship!

The Institute of Translational Health Sciences TL1 is an NIH-funded training grant that will allow Amy to undergo additional trainings in translational science!

The Magnuson Scholarship recognizes graduate students in the UW Health Sciences for their excellent academic performance and outstanding potential for research in the health sciences! Check out the news coverage here and here.

Congratulations, Amy, for these well-deserving achievements!

Our paper on lipidomic studies of cross-resistance and seesaw effect in MRSA published in JAC

This is a collaborative work with the Werth lab at the Department of Pharmacy and Salipante Lab at Laboratory Medicine! Check out the paper at Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy: Occurrence of cross-resistance and β-lactam seesaw effect in glycopeptide-, lipopeptide- and lipoglycopeptide-resistant MRSA correlates with membrane phosphatidylglycerol levels.
