  • Realizing the potential of long noncoding RNA as a cancer biomarker: From NGS discovery to validation with RNA in situ Hybridization

    The routine detection of non-coding RNA presents a particular set of challenges since they do not have protein counterparts for antibody detection. This is why the ability to detect RNA in cancer biopsy samples is so valuable, opening up the use of lncRNA as a biomarker.

  • Characterizing LGR5 stem cells in colorectal adenomas and carcinomas: Overcoming the limitations of antibody-based detection methods

    Using the RNAscope assay probe against LGR5 mRNA has allowed us to study the localization of LGR5 expression without relying on an antibody. I would certainly recommend RNAscope technology to researchers wanting to examine a target of interest for which there is not a reliable antibody available.

  • Tatiana Moves Closer to Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases With Jess

    Simple Western

    Jess is faster and more reliable in terms of quantification and allows us to use low sample volumes, for example, difficult-to-obtain samples such as iPSC-derived neurons.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Sarah Hopp

    I've enjoyed teaching and mentoring more than I ever expected, and knowing that about myself has allowed me to pursue a specific career track as I apply for faculty positions that strongly emphasize undergraduate education.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Kerry Purtell

    Don't disregard results because an experiment did not turn out the way you or your PI expected.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Hannah Chen

    I think this is something all immunologists can agree on - trusted sources of research tools/reagents can be the difference between a high impact publication and no publication/delayed publication.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Brian Aguado

    I believe that biomaterials scientists will have to synergize with systems biologists to develop more effective therapies as a function of a patient's unique biology.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Andrew Leidal

    Teaching and mentoring are great ways to learn boundaries of understanding on a specific topic or concept because inevitably you will be asked something that you can't answer.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Andrew Johnson

    I think it's very important that anyone who wants to work in biotech setting understands how research becomes a product, and that they are able to talk about their work and design their projects with that in mind.

  • Patricia Boya

    You have to enjoy wwhat you do, research is not easy and pursuing a tenure track position is a marathon for which one has to train continuously.

  • Interviews: 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - Cellular Oxygen Sensing

  • Dr. Melanie Rutkowski

    it is important to establish a balance between working harder than you have ever worked in your life and knowing when to move forward or away from questions/projects that are not scientifically sound or novel.
