Faculty receive WARF, Kellett, Romnes awards
Dave Pagliarini, associate professor of biochemistry and director of the Morgridge Institute for Research’s Metabolism Theme, studies mitochondria — ubiquitous organelles essential for cellular metabolism. His lab integrates classic biochemistry with large-scale methodologies to systematically define the functions of uncharacterized mitochondrial proteins and to establish the detailed mechanisms that drive disease-related mitochondrial pathways.
Overmyer named new associate director of mass spec lab
Katherine Overmyer, a former Morgridge postdoctoral fellow, was named the associate director of the Laboratory for Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry (LBMS) at UW–Madison.
Taking new approaches to study lipid biology
Any budding scientist knows that oil and water don’t mix. However, for our largely water-filled cells to thrive, nature needs to devise clever ways to make and move around the lipids—fat and oil-like compounds—that comprise membranes and other key cellular parts.
Metabolism scientist wins prestigious AAAS Fellowship
For Danielle Lohman, her passion for science policy began when she heard a PhD chemist speak at a career conference about the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) fellowship at the State Department in Washington, D.C.
