Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science for the past and present members of the lab. This is from the early days of the lab at UMB when we were all female. @jespinoms@phd_ante#WomenInScience
In our 2021 cohort, 4 MS in PSC students completed their Biopharmaceutical Internship at AstraZeneca. Congratulations to all students! Interested in joining the @PharmSci_UMB MS program? Details here: https://t.co/U3RVYdBGLu
Dr. Alex MacKerell (@alex_mackerell) and Dr. Paul Shapiro will be presenting at Baltimore Underground Science Space tomorrow on Computer Aided Drug Design: Taking an Idea into the Clinic (Jan 13. 7-10pm). Register here: https://t.co/0GNWl1yslw @umsop
PSC's Lisa Jones received a IMSD T32 training grant that aims to enhance diversity in the biomedical workforce, comparable to the UMBC Meyerhoff Program, the gold standard for diversity-focused graduate enhancement projects. Congrats!

Check out this new @biorxivpreprint by @RyanMPearson and team! Engineering a biomimetic drug delivery mechanism into NPs, B cells can be leveraged as APCs for T cell immunotherapy applications. @PharmSci_UMB students @briscotland95 and @nhutruong_ contributed to this study.
The Division is saddened to report the passing of Robert Grubbs. The outpouring of memories being shared is a testament to his profound impact and influence as a professor, mentor, colleague & friend -- not only in the chemistry community, but beyond.
He will be greatly missed.
SilcsBio, a spin-off company founded by PSC Professor Alex MacKerell, was awarded a $1.8M SBIR Phase II Award for "Computational methods for optimized biologics formulation". Congrats Alex!

Jim developed the UMB MS Program in Regulatory Science and Innovation and has been directing this successful program for nearly a decade.
Exciting gene therapy research from Bruce Yu & Marc Taraban @PharmSci_UMB and Michael Jones (Pfizer Inc). They developed water proton #NMR to non-invasively measure viral capsid filling levels enabling inspection of a drug vial over its life: https://t.co/IBYCw3X4XA

Researchers from @PharmSci_UMB were recognized at an FDA virtual meeting in September, where they learned that work they’d done spanning almost 5 years on injectable iron drugs had resulted in a change in FDA draft guidance. @SMichelLab1 https://t.co/rFGct6B7Yb
