Stefanie receives the Russek Award for Genetics and Genomics
Today we celebrate Henry I. Russek Student Achievement Day 2019, and Stefanie is the first prize award winner for the Genetics and Genomics Program. She will present her research on “The Role of GPS2 in the PI3K/AKT Pathway in Breast Cancer" in the Hiebert Lounge at 2:30 pm, with the award ceremony following at 3:40. Please join us to celebrate Stefanie and all other award winners!
JoVE Protocol for ChIP in adipose tissue
Want to learn how we optimized the chromatin immunoprecipitation protocol for efficient ChIP from mouse brown adipose tissue? We hope this visual protocol can be helpful. Please reach out if you have questions!

Justin @ The Obesity Society Meeting
Thanks to a generous travel award from the Boston Nutrition Obesity Center, Justin travels to Nashville to present a poster at Obesity Week 2018. Congratulation on a great start Justin!
4th Biochemistry Department Retreat @Thompson Island
Great lab trip to Thompson Island for the annual Biochem Department retreat. We had a fun day and the lab won awards in all categories - congrats to Dafne, Tanes, Steph and all other winners!!
Stefanie receives a Russek Award
Many congrats to Stefanie for receiving an Award (Second Prize in the Genetics and Genomics Program) at the 24th Annual Henry Russek Student Achievement Day.
Look at her, not even back from maternity leave yet, and already presenting a poster!!
Welcome Justin!
We are happy to welcome to the lab Justin English as our first graduate student from the Pharmacology Program. Looking forward to do some fun science together!
Novel Role for GPS2 in Mitochondria-Nuclear Communication
We are very proud of our latest story now finally out today in Molecular Cell!!
Read here how GPS2 regulates Mitochondrial Retrograde Signaling in Mammalian Cells: http://www.cell.com/molecular-cell/fulltext/S1097-2765(18)30096-0
A big thank to everyone who has worked hard across the country to make this happen!
Congratulations Dr. Cederquist!
These past few months have gone by in a flurry. Carly successfully defended her thesis back in March, won the 2017 Russek Day Award in April and is now getting ready to leave us.... it's a bittersweet moment.... the lab will feel quite empty starting next week, but we are also very proud of her and everything she accomplished!! Congratulations Dr. Cederquist and good luck for everything to come!!
