Gratification from attending U.S. HUPO

Lab members participated at the 2025 U.S. HUPO convention in Philadelphia, PA. The posters that were presented received considerable attention. The environment and culture were complimented with outstanding interactions with other scientists. We hope to return in the future!

Dr. Marco Hadisurya giving his final oral presentation for the lab. We are pleased to see him move on to work with Bruker.

Nathaniel Miller with a poster presentation on Phosphoproteomic profiling of extracellular vesicles using multiplexed data-independent acquisition.

Yi-Kai Liu with a poster presentation on Quantitative extracellular vesicle proteomics by multiplexed data-independent acquisition.

Zheng Zhang with a poster presentation on the discovery of chiral D2HG and L2HG mediated protein o-2-hydroxyglutarylation.

Happy New Year!

We’d like to start of the new year by welcoming the new lab members:

• Chemistry & MCMP Graduate Students: Minhas Sakib, Shakhzodjon Uzokboev and Shahadat Hossain

• Biochemistry Graduate Students: Amirhesam Mashaollahi and Lucas Kramer (Co-mentor: Vikki Weake).

Hopefully everyone had the time to relax and enjoy the holidays. Best of luck this year as you work hard in your research endeavors!

Summer Research Fellowship

Our lab member, Nathan Tuchscherer, had a nice summer research experience at the University of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Please check out the story here.

Research Breakthrough in Parkinson's Disease

Our group applied EV proteomics and phosphoproteomics to identify putative diagnostic biosignatures for Parkinson’s Disease. The findings could lead to noninvasive testing for the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. The paper was publish in Communications Medicine, please click here.
