The mission of Science Philanthropy Alliance is to increase philanthropic support for basic scientific research. Since its inception in 2015, the philanthropic community has shown broad interest and support for the Alliance’s mission. The Alliance provides its employees with an incredible opportunity to influence the basic science research philanthropic community. The Alliance is a group …
The COFUND FP-DYNAMO-PARIS programme offers a unique interdisciplinary environment and a fundamental research initiative in the centre of Paris to train the scientists of tomorrow in the field of physico-chemical biology. The goal of the research programme is to integrate knowledge on gene expression, structural and membrane biology, and bioenergetics in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria …
Project: Advanced multi-locus genome engineering to enable consolidated bioprocessing for low-cost conversion of lignocellulose to hydrocarbon fuels and products Terragia Biofuel (formerly Enchi Corp) is a startup company cofounded by Dartmouth Professor Lee Lynd that is focused on developing bacteria to convert cellulosic biomass to fuels. Current technologies in this area are too expensive due …
What happens when we get comfortable with uncertainty? Today, we talked to Audrey Gasch, professor of genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center scientist, about all the factors that propelled her from an undergraduate studying biochemistry at UW-Madison to the leader of the Center for Genomic Science Innovation. She shares …
In her lab at the University of Connecticut, Kat Milligan-McClellan ’99, PhD’09 peers deep into the gut microbiomes of fish, looking for clues that could lead to advancements in medicine and environmental engineering – advancements that could benefit native communities like her hometown of Kotzebue. But for much of her time as a UW–Madison student, …
The laboratory of Dr. Joel Belasco at New York University School of Medicine (www.belascolab.org) is seeking a highly motivated individual for postdoctoral research on post-transcriptional gene regulation at the intersection of RNA biology, biochemistry, and microbiology. The goal of this research will be to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that govern mRNA lifetimes in bacterial cells. …
Mary Hannah Swaney was recently awarded a NIH F31 NRSA fellowship! Congrats, Mary Hannah!
The support of the Department of Energy Early Career Research Program award allowed my team and me to gain a better understanding of how nature has optimized plant biomass degradation – using a model, natural system.
MDTP student Susan Hromada successfully defended her dissertation “Impact of human gut microbes on Clostridioides difficile growth and antibiotic susceptibility in vitro”.
