Rising Sparks: Kim Huggler, Metabolism

Kim Huggler believes science is fundamentally about creativity, and leverages an innovative cell culture media to reveal biological processes that conventional techniques cannot.

Metabolism research has morphed from mundane to essential

At a meeting of the Wisconsin Tech Council, Morgridge scientists described the renaissance taking place in metabolism research, which is revealing newfound connections to disease and entirely new roads to treatment and prevention.

Congratulations to May 2022 graduates

Congratulations to our 2022 graduating students and research staff moving on into their next chapters. A few of them shared their experiences at Morgridge and their plans for the future.

Jason Cantor Receives Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award

via UW Biochemistry

Morgridge investigator Jason Cantor has received a 2021 Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award. His was among the ten award-winning proposals that represent early-stage, innovative and cutting-edge technology in medicine and biomedical engineering.

The (cell) medium is the message: A new tool for studying cell biology in a dish

Morgridge investigator Jason Cantor is partnering with Thermo Fisher Scientific to give biologists a new medium to study human cells in their most natural state.

Researchers publish findings on use of a more human-like cell culture medium to explore gene essentiality

The Jason Cantor Lab at Morgridge is utilizing a new cell culture medium to ask how critical genes are to the survival and reproduction of human cells under different growth conditions. The technique could have important ramifications for the treatment of human diseases.

Summer Science Workshop helps students form their science identity

The workshop series, which wrapped up in late July, brought more than 100 students and 15 teachers “face-to-face” to learn online from scientists at the Morgridge Institute for Research.

Peering into a more ‘human’ petri dish

The recent development of physiologic media holds immense potential to improve understanding of human biology.

Metabolism investigator Jason Cantor joins Morgridge Institute, UW–Madison

Jason Cantor could describe himself as an engineer, biologist and biochemist, but don’t try to put his expertise into one box. Cantor, a scientist exploring the environmental influences on cancer cell metabolism, is launching a new lab in the Metabolism Theme at the Morgridge Institute and joining the UW–Madison departments of biochemistry and biomedical engineering.
