A MedChem get-together:
Our collaborative work on tocopherol-deficient mice was published in FRBM!
This is a collaboration with Carrie Finno at UC-Davis, titled:”An innate immune response and altered nuclear receptor activation defines the spinal cord transcriptome during alpha-tocopherol deficiency in Ttpa-null mice”. See the paper here.
Royalty Research Fund awarded to study antibiotic resistance in S. aureus!
Our project “”Targeting Altered Lipid Metabolism in Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus” was awarded the UW Royal Research Fund for one year! This is a collaborative project with the Werth Lab in Department of Pharmacy. Congrats, Kelly, Tianwei, and Hideaki!
Our collaborative work on SLOS intervention was published in Scientific Reports!
This is a collaborative work with the Fliesler lab at SUNY-Buffalo titled “Prevention of Retinal Degeneration in a Rat Model of Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome“. This work represents the first successful prevention of a SLOS phenotype, retinal degeneration, in an animal model! Congrats, Josi and Kelly!
