Join us Thursday, April 16th, from 11:00-12:00pm for Samantha Weaver and Gulustan Ozturk's seminar titled "Novel Dietary Strategies for Bone Health and Regeneration" #seminarseries

Meet UW-Madison’s Laura Hernandez “Prof. Hernandez translates foundational science into solutions to improve overall maternal health. Her research is reshaping how we support pregnancy, lactation and mental well-being of mothers, and we are proud to help accelerate her innovations into the market.”

Meet Laura Hernandez from animal and dairy sciences who investigates novel pathways that regulate the transition from pregnancy to lactation and from lactation to involution in the mammary gland. @llhlactationlab.bsky.social

🎉 Congrats to 2026 Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal recipient Judith Kimble of @uwbiochem.bsky.social! Her work has built an entire field and inspired generations of scientists through her mentorship and leadership.

Join us on Mon. 4/13 and Tues. 4/14 for our Steenbock Lectures in Biochemistry! UIUC professor Wilfred van der Donk will be presenting lectures on genome mining for novel enzymatic reactions and biosynthesis and engineering of macrocyclic peptides. More info: today.wisc.edu/events/tag/b...

Mapping Folate Distribution in Mice Reveals Insights into Gut Microbiota A recent study from the Chaudhari Lab explores the relationship between gut-dwelling bacteria and folate (vitamin B9).

New methods developed in the Chaudhari Lab open the door to questions about folate (vitamin B9) distribution and how folates and the gut microbiome interact. Read more about their research, published today in @natmetabolism.nature.com: biochem.wisc.edu/2026/03/26/m...

At yesterday's SILO seminar, @uwmadison.bsky.social student researchers involved in projects supported by American Family Insurance presented their work. Thank you to the presenters, their faculty mentors, moderator Ramya Vinayak, and AmFam! silo.wisc.edu

Two Biochemistry Professors Named 2026-2027 Vilas Associates Professors Katherine Henzler-Wildman and Chad Rienstra have been selected for the competitive award.

Congratulations to Professors Katherine Henzler-Wildman and Chad Rienstra, who were selected as Vilas Associates last month. Read more: biochem.wisc.edu/2026/02/18/t...

💯did the same. Should have had 3 tubes and made him find the 1, 9, 17

Undergrad Profile: Elliott Weix Undergraduate Elliott Weix is a researcher in the Coyle Lab, where he studies how to build living systems that help us understand how cells work.

Biochemistry majors have the skills & knowledge to jump into projects across a wide range of related fields. In our new series, you'll get to meet some of the undergrads playing important roles all over campus. First up is math & biochem major Elliott Weix. biochem.wisc.edu/2026/03/12/u...

I've made some of the proposed mice for revisions as well, but I'm on empty. Nursing this thing along for mid-april's reviews news.

A colleague with a higher (worse) percentile than mine just got an NOA from DK. It's all about the subject matter (now more than before). Normal funding (yearly), no budget cut, full IDC. There is hope in the world.

Congratulations to Emeritus Professor Judith Kimble, who received the Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal awarded by @genetics-gsa.bsky.social.

Join us on March 2 for Biochemistry Colloquium! Joel McManus @cmu.edu studies the mechanisms that regulate mRNA translation. More info: today.wisc.edu/events/view/...

💯I sent the same message to my grants manager

Meet UW-Madison’s Wei Xu “Prof. Xu is an expert in breast cancer biology. We are excited about the novel targets and mechanisms coming from her research.”

"Prof. Xu is an expert in breast cancer biology. We are excited about the novel targets and mechanisms coming from her research," says Rafael Diaz, WARF licensing manager.

Join us on February 9 for Biochemistry Colloquium with Sara Nowinski @vai.org. The Nowinski Lab is working to understand mitochondria in detail, focusing on the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis pathway. More info: today.wisc.edu/events/view/...

Had this been 2024, we would have had 2 R01s funded with our scores without a doubt but here we are waiting

The delays have cost me 2 employees and it's all so unnecessary. It's wildly frustrating.

Are people actually receiving the money though? Labs I know have had great scores, no NOA, or sometimes NOA, but no money ever comes.

Researchers Link Mutations in RPA Protein to Cancer, Other Diseases Researchers in the Lim Lab reveal that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining stability in our chromosomes may be responsible for serious diseases.

Research from Professor Ci Ji Lim's (@cijilim.bsky.social) lab, published today in @science.org, could provide patients and doctors with new protein mutations to test for certain cancers and bone marrow diseases. Read more: biochem.wisc.edu/2025/10/30/r...

Researchers Link Mutations in RPA Protein to Cancer, Other Diseases Researchers in the Lim Lab reveal that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining stability in our chromosomes may be responsible for serious diseases.

New findings from @cijilim.bsky.social in @uwbiochem.bsky.social identify a protein essential to maintaining the end-caps on chromosomes — helping doctors around the world connect a genetic mutation to their patients' illnesses. biochem.wisc.edu/2025/10/30/r...

TODAY: Join @uwmadisonchem.bsky.social and DSI for back-to-back, AI-related seminars in Chem 1435. At 2:30, Frank Noé will present the Hirschfelder seminar. At 4, Cecilia Clementi will present an AI for Science seminar. Refreshments will be served between the talks. dsi.wisc.edu/events/
