We haven't posted in a while, and have lots of things that we want to share! But for today... Consider attending this event if you are interested in Honours Thesis Research Projects or even graduate school. Its an excellent opportunity to see first hand the excellent research being done by your classmates and friends right here at BU!... Undergraduate Summer Research Presentations Today!/Friday, Sept 8th at 2 PM Louis Riel Room Join us in celebrating the incredible research done by our amazing undergraduate summer students! Consider attending if you’re a friend/classmate of the presenters, curious about the topics, interested in research, considering an Honours Thesis, or just want to hang out for the afternoon with a bunch of really smart people! The Effect of Ivermectin on Insect Vector Competency and The Rhizosphere and Phyllosphere Project: Sachi Villanueva, Cassone Lab Structural or Enzymatic? Analyzing CK2's Role in Ribosome Assembly: Elise Poole, Charette Lab The use of CRISPR / cas9 for targeted gene disruption in Cryptobia salmositica: Chantel Lim, Ardelli Lab How to Make Glowing Fish (and Knockout a Gene): Caleb Northam, LeMoine Lab Assessing Changes in the Protein-Protein Interaction of Emg1-Utp2 in Bowen-Conradi Syndrome: Courtney Harris, Charette Lab System-wide SUMOylome Comparison Between Substrates Modified by SUMO1 and SUMO3: Trent Nelson, Thibault Lab, U de Montréal Coffee, tea, and snacks provided!

From Chemical & Engineering News: Protein folding was thought to be somewhat esoteric, something that physical chemists but not biologists might spend their time looking at.

Great things happening at BU!

Tomorrow, students from the Chen, Hill, and Charette labs will be presenting their research at the annual CancerCare MB meeting in Winnipeg at the Health Sciences Center, a first for Brandon University!

The Charette lab and the Department of Chemistry at Brandon University are proud to announce that one of our students, Trent Nelson, has been awarded the prestigious 2017 IRIC Next Generation Awards. This award, from the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer of the University of Montreal is enabling Trent to spend the summer working in the lab of Dr Pierre Thibault, one of the world's foremost leaders in mass spec and proteomics. Congrats Trent! Read more about Dr. Thibault's research here: http://ht.ly/KwGL30btTu7
