Harman Kaur joins the Gohil lab as a graduate student. Welcome Harman!
YuChen Yang begins his rotation project. Natalie Garza successfully defends her PhD Dissertation thesis. Congratulations Dr. Garza! Congratulations to Sagnika for winning the Best Poster Award at the FASEB conference on Calcium and Cell Function. Harman Kaur and Saibal Chanda join the lab as rotation students. Natalie Garza and Abhinav Swaminathan’s posters were selected for short talks at the Gordon Research Conference on Cell Biology of Metals. Congratulations to Miriam Stein – she becomes a Beckman Scholar. Our manuscript on calcium signaling defects in Barth syndrome is now accepted for publication in Human Molecular Genetics. Congratulations to Sagnika for leading this effort and thanks to the Barth Syndrome Foundation for supporting this work. Engrail Therapeutics has signed a licensing agreement with the Texas A&M University System to take our finding on elesclomol for the treatment of mitochondrial disorders of copper metabolism to clinic. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210908005401/en/Engrail-Therapeutics-and-The-Texas-AM-University-System-Enter-Licensing-Agreement-for-Elesclomol-in-Disorders-of-Mitochondrial-Copper-Metabolism Noah Sherer joins the lab as a Biochemistry & Biophysics rotation student. Welcome Noah! Adriana Okonkwo, a sophomore and Biochemistry major, joins the lab as an undergraduate researcher. Welcome Adriana! The Gohil lab receives R01 grant from the NIH to study mechanisms of elescomol-mediated copper delivery to enzymes in cells. We thank NIGMS/NIH for continuously supporting our research for the past 8 years. The Gohil lab receives funding from the Texas A&M University's X-grant program to study mitochondrial function in health and disease. Eddy Pineda, an undergraduate student from Emory University, joins the lab for the summer as part of the Biochemistry and Biophysics REU program. Katelyn Plank joins the lab as a Beckman Fellow undergraduate researcher. Sagnika Ghosh successfully defends her PhD Dissertation thesis. Congratulations Sagnika!
