Congrats to Valeria, Rachel and Meranda, who have received a 2021 Diversity Award from the Protein Society. Also, congratulations to Chelsea, who was selected to give an oral presentation at the upcoming Protein Society Symposium in July 2021. Great job, Valeria, Meranda, Rachel an Chelsea!!!
Congratulations to the Cavagnero-group undergraduate students who won summer-research awards, fellowships and scholarships this year. You won so many awards and we are incredibly proud of you, Jasmine, NIngkun, Gordon and Chelsea!!!
Congratulations to Hanming for being the co-recipient of the 2021 K.V. Reddy Award in Physical Chemistry for his work in Laser- and LED-enhanced NMR spectroscopy method development. Nice achievement, Hanming! Hanming’s latest paper on the increase in nuclear hyperpolarization enhancement upon additon of trace amounts of reductive radical quenchers (like vitamin C) to NMR samples has been …
Valeria has been promoted to Assistant Scientist in the Cavagnero group. Congratulations, Valeria, we are so excited and honored to have you with us!
Meranda has won 2nd place in the 2021 Chemistry Department Holiday Baking Context. Way to go, Meranda, on this delicious achievement! Valeria was selected to give an oral presentation at the 2021 Midwest Chaperone and Stress Response Meeting on her work on ribosome-nascent protein interactions. Way to go, Valeria, congratulations!
First-year graduate students Shaneen-Britton-Acevedo and Clayton Mickles join the Cavagnero group. Welcome to our team, we are delighted to have you on board!!! Meranda and Rachel’s abstracts have been selected for oral presentations of their research on protein folding at the ribosome exit tunnel at the next Biophysicsl Society Meeting in February 2021. Valeria, Rachel and Chelsea have won a …
Matt and Andrew accepted fantastic job offers at CATALENT (R&D scientist, catalent.com) and the University of Milwaukee (postdoc with Prof. Erica Young), respectively. Congratulations!
Rayna and coworkers published a cover article in the Jounal of Physical Chemistry B showing that the bacterial ribosome enhances nascent-protein solubility but it is not sufficient to guarantee full structural accuracy of de-novo synthesized (and ribosome-released) proteins. This work also shows that kinetic channeling upon release from the ribosome is very sensitive to the amino acid sequence …
Chelsea and Wanting are the recipients of the prestigious UW–Madison Biochemistry Summer Research Awards!!! We are so proud of you, girls!! We are excited to announce that Kevin has received a Chemistry Summer Research Scholarship and the Edwin M. and Kathryn M. Summer Research Scholarship. He has also received the Hilldale Research Award for the 2020-21 academic year. Congratulations! Please join …
