Our amazing PI, Lulu Cambronne, has written a new review about NAD+! It was co-written with Lee Kraus, Director of the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
LCID Researcher Dr. Maria Croyle and her team have developed a vaccine preparation technique that both imparts temperature stability and allows easy administration.
To overcome the issue of temperature sensitivity, some vaccines are freeze-dried, a process known as lyophilization, and transported as powders. But, says Maria Croyle, a pharmacologist at the University of Texas at Austin, in some instances the stability of lyophilized vaccines is less than ideal. For instance, some can be
Our amazing Professor, Xiaolu (Lulu) Cambronne, has been named a 2020 Pew Biomedical Scholar! She's one of the 22 applicants out of 191 to receive this honor! We're incredibly proud of her and her amazing achievements.
The Lulu Cambronne Laboratory is extremely excited to welcome three new undergraduates to our research team in the coming Fall. Jesus Balderas (1) is a Biochemistry Major in the UT Class of 2022. Ashley Gilliam (2) is also in UT's Class of 2022, and is a Biology major. Nhat Tran (3), our most recent addition, is an international student from Vietnam who's studying Biochemistry here at UT. We look forward to witnessing their growth in their individual fields of study, and we can't wait to get them in the lab toRead more about A few new Lab Members!
One of our graduate researchers, Shivansh Goyal, had his qualifying exam yesterday, and he got a full pass!!!! Congratulations Shivansh! We're incredibly proud of his hard work!
When asked about factors that affect viral infectiousness in a recent PolitiFact email interview, Dr. Jaquelin P. Dudley, Associate Director of the LaMontagne Center for Infectious Disease states:
"Viruses, particularly ones with a fatty layer called an envelope, are largely transmitted from person-to-person and not through touching objects."
The season can matter as well. Warm weather, when people are outside rather than in closed rooms, can cut down on transmission, at least on the margins, she said.
