On July 6, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas faced heavy rain and flooding from Tropical Storm Chantal, which damaged some UNC students’ housing and essentials on and off campus. Students in need of immediate support are eligible for University aid. https://t.co/7A8hbNAemz

New guidelines from a collaboration with our laboratory improve how we read PrEP drug levels in blood spots—helping ensure people get the protection they need. #HIVprevention #PrEP #Adherence

“Hepatitis A can usurp this protein to make its own proteins to replicate and successfully infect liver cells," said Stanley Lemon, MD.

A new study by the renowned researcher reveals more about the #HepatitisA virus and what it needs to grow and survive.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the UNC Core Showcase this week! It was great to connect with other core directors and current/future core customers!

[NINDS Office of Research Quality @NINDS4Rigor]

The @unc_ort has a webpage devoted to explaining how core facilities can facilitate rigor and reproducibility.

They also provide guidance documents to their cores to promote these practices:

Tessa hosted a tour today for a group visiting campus with Shadow a Scientist! So fun to have Tessa share her scientific journey, have students get to see some neurons and a cochlea up close…and my favorite, getting to preserve these moments of discovery with quick snaps! 🔬📸😍

[UNC Office of Research Technologies @unc_ort]

Congrats @le_mccorm @stephgupton1 and all of the study's co-authors, and shout out to the core facilities that supported this work--the @UNC_Proteomics, Macromolecular X-Ray Crystallography, and Neuroscience Microscopy Core @MichelleItano !

[J Cell Science @J_Cell_Sci]

Congratulations to the authors of our most read articles published in January 2024!

Have you double checked that every #corefacility that provided resources for your project is acknowledged in your paper? Takes just a minute but makes a world of difference for our core directors to demonstrate their scientific impact and value!

[UNC Office of Research Technologies @unc_ort]

Congrats to all the core directors out there who submitted their NIH S10 instrumentation grants yesterday! And now we wait...
