Listen to your gut! 👂

BMB Associate Prof. @Quinn_Labs recently spoke with @MSUNatSci to unpack the science and stories behind our gut health.

Great week working with @CoralResilience on #metabolomics of coral bleaching. Can’t wait until our next visit!

[MSU Biochemistry & Molecular Biology @MSU_BMB]

For 'Kids' Science Day,' @tommyvo_fission and @SHoribata teamed up to share the secrets of chromatin biology at the Carol J. Greer Community Learning Center!

Participants used microscopes and extracted DNA from strawberries to learn the key ideas behind chromatin research 🍓🧬

@DarkMatterDay @MSUNatSci @michiganstateu @MetabolomicsANA @NIH With a five-year, $1.91 million MIRA from the @NIH, the group will target protein-metabolite interactions by casting a wide analytical 'net' into the metabolome.

These findings will lead to fundamental discoveries linked to the health and resilience of plants and animals.

Fishing for "dark matter?" Metabolomic mysteries?👻

On this Halloween and @DarkMatterDay, get a look inside the Skirycz Group's exploration of biochemistry's unexplored lands! ⤵️

MSU's Plant Biology Conservatory and @MSU_Herbarium have a variety of strange, unique and spooky plants on display. https://t.co/lDwycEmRK7

[Robert Quinn @Quinn_Labs]

Awesome days of science at #MANA2024 @MetabolomicsANA the metabolomics field is unstoppable. Our postdoc Hansani won poster award and undergrad gave an awesome talk!! Can’t wait till next year in #Banff my home and native land! 🇨🇦

[MSU Biochemistry & Molecular Biology @MSU_BMB]

Leveraging MSU's cryo-EM facility, Ben Orlando and Lee Kroos discovered the final piece of a vast, decades-long puzzle.

"This technology helped get us over that mountain, and as it improves, we’ll peer deeper and deeper into new areas of biology."

[MSU Biochemistry & Molecular Biology @MSU_BMB]

And of course a special shoutout to Dr. Doug Gage, VP @msuresearch, and Dr. Bill Henry, Director MSU RTSF, for their continued leadership and support of the core facility!

[MSU Biochemistry & Molecular Biology @MSU_BMB]

The core boasts 11 mass spectrometers, 4 dedicated staff scientists, and recently welcomed Dr. @MaryamGoudarzi0 as new facility director who brings 13+ years of metabolomics experience.

Let’s collaborate! Reach out at: [email protected]
