Welcome our new undergraduate researchers!
Recently, we have a few undergraduate students joining the lab: Jonathan Luong in January and Pakteema Tong and Qingyu Guo in April! They are all majoring in Biochemistry at the UW and expect to graduate in 2020! Welcome to the team!
Kelly’s paper on lipidomics of E. coli was accepted to Chemistry and Physics of Lipids!
Nice work, Kelly! Check out the paper here.
Dylan passed his General Exam!
Our collaborative work with Ed Kelly Lab on polymyxin nephrotoxicity was published in JCI Insight!
This study led by Profs. Kelly and Himmelfarb reported assessment of the nephrotoxicity of the antibiotic polymyxin using human kidney-on-a-chip. We carried out the analysis of sterols for this work. Congrats to Cecilia, Kelly, and Josi! Check out the paper here.
Libin’s review with Prof. Fliesler was published in Molecules!
This is a review on the role of oxysterols in retinal degeneration of a rat model of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Check out the paper here.
Our collaborative work on Smoothened-activating cilia oxysterols was published in Molecular Cell!
This work reported cilia-associated oxysterols can activate Hedgehog signaling through Smoothened and inhibition of the formation of such oxysterols can impede Hedgehog pathway activation. This is a multi-institutional collaboration led by David Raleigh and Jeremy Reiter at UCSF. Good job by Kelly on the oxysterol analysis in this work! Check out the paper here and the Cover Art of the issue illustrating findings in this paper.
Our protocol on sterol and oxysterol analysis was accepted to Current Protocols in Toxicology!
Check out the paper here. Congrats, Josi and Kelly!
