  • Dr. Benjamin Deneen

    As a mentor, it's critical to remember that your success is directly tied to their success. If you want to have a successful lab, then you have to invest in your mentee's success and recognize that you need them as much (if not more!) than they need you.

  • From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Dr. Jagannath Padmanabhan

    Science is the best tool we have at our disposal to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Science is our best bet to gain an objective understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

  • Dr. Noboru Mizushima

    We should remain curious and simply take delight in learning new things in basic biology.

  • Dr. Timothy Sampson

    It is my belief that future discoveries in the field [of neurological disorders] will not solely rely on the study of the brain, but through the broad and multidisciplinary exploration of our microbial inhabitants.

  • Dr. David C. Rubinsztein

    Being a scientist is a wonderful job. However, you need to develop a thick skin, self-belief & persistence.

  • Nobel Prize 2016 Interviews: What do autophagy’s leading scientists have to say about this year’s Nobel Prize and its recipient?

  • Advancing Cell and Gene Therapies with Jess

    Simple Western

    Simple Western™ allows us to run three-hour assays, which would usually take us two days with traditional Western blots.

  • Restoring Autophagy, Reversing Disease with Jess

    Simple Western

    Jess allows us to immediately identify potential autophagy biomarkers as they are upregulated or downregulated in response to treatment. This allows us to use more advanced statistical techniques such as principal component analysis and hierarchal clustering to recognize key correlations in our research with ease

  • Accelerate Osteoarthritis Research Studies with Simple Western

    Simple Western

    The introduction of an Abby will enable us to answer important questions quicker, such as identifying the disease driving mechanism and molecules surrounding osteoarthritis. Moving away from the tedious manual western blotting process, which can take up to two days, and introducing automation will speed up time to data and provide increased sensitivity and accuracy.

  • Utilizing Simple Western to Understand Neuronal Markers in Schizophrenia

    Simple Western

    It can be difficult to optimize new antibodies, particularly for brain markers where you have a lot of background noise and low levels of your target. The appropriate control and low variability between plates using Simple Western™ means we can complete our studies in weeks rather than months.

  • Measuring Immune Response to Predict Changes in Autoimmune Disease Activity

    Simple Plex

    We needed assays that were not only excellent at conserving our limited sample volumes but would allow us to test a lot of markers quickly and efficiently. The Luminex and Simple Plex assays proved to be the ideal choice in this case, giving us a level of accuracy and reproducibility that we’ve been unable to get with other platforms.

  • Improving Trauma Outcomes with Fast, Efficient Brain Injury Biomarker Analysis

    Luminex Instrumentation

    We were fortunate to be able to test these Luminex porcine panels early in our research effort. Once we could see the measurements we were getting on the plates, we knew we had found what we were looking for. The panels ended up making a huge difference in the outcome of the study.
