Annual CBGRC

This year we are providing a #speednetworking event after hearing all about your amazing research! After attending all the shotgun presentations, you have the option of attending a speed networking event with people who attended the conference! You will be randomly separated in breakout rooms of 4 people for 5 min at a time where you can privately meet and network with students and profs! ... Can't wait to see you there!

Understanding DNA polymorphisms using anion exchange chromatography Alyssa McAdorey @alyssamcadorey and Hayley Bennett @haylavour are graduate research students in the Yan Research Group studying Biotechnology at Brock University. They will be presenting at #CBGRC2020! Don’t forget to check it out!

Systematic investigation of ion suppression and enhancement of polar compounds in liquid chromatography - electrospray high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-ESI HRMS) Hamed @hamed.tahs is a PhD student in Dr. Vuckovic's research group in Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Concordia University @concordiauniversity . He will be presenting at #CBGRC2020! Don’t forget to check it out!

Targeted analysis of the human tear proteome by LC-MS/MS Maggy Lepine is a PhD student in Department of Chemistry at Universite du Quebec A Montreal(UQAM). She is working in Dr. Lekha Sleno lab investigating tear proteomics using mass spectrometry. She will be presenting at #CBGRC2020! Don’t forget to check it out!

Chemistry is hard to learn! I’m currently studying how to learn and teach chemistry to make it better for everyone, starting with the subject of resonance! Myriam Carle is working towards a PhD in chemical education under the supervision of Dr. Alison Flynn. She is currently a student at University of Ottawa @uottawa in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences. She will be presenting at #CBGRC2020! Don’t forget to check it out!

Clinically approved BRAF and MEK inhibitor combinations can effectively kill BRAF non-p.V600 mutant melanomas with co-occurring NF1 loss or oncogenic NRAS alterations Shivshankari Rajkumar is a PhD student in the Department of Biochemistry at McGill University @mcgillu. She is working under Dr. Ian Watson’s supervision dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying BRAF non-p.V600 mutant signalling within two cellular contexts: NF1 loss and oncogenic NRAS. We have identified drug combinations that effectively kill melanomas harbouring these complex BRAF mutant genotypes. She will be presenting at #CBGRC2020! Don’t forget to check it out!
