Don’t forget to consider supporting the Excelsior award fund! 👇

Most talented graduated student Yining Jiang did most of the work (all HS-AFM experiments) with the support of fantastic collaborators: Jeremy Dittman, Hite Lab and Twitterless Sturgis Lab. WCM Office of the Research Dean Weill Cornell Medicine Anesthesiology Molecular Biophysics Training Program

Congrats Scheuring Lab and team! Cool paper!

Basic-science research is essential 🔬 "We implore colleagues in the wider science ecosystem — the policymakers and those in science-funding agencies who expect to see direct benefits of research investments — to resist the temptation to push for quick returns."

Deadline Extended: February 1, 2023 📢 You are invited to submit your research on the topic of Ion Channels in Context: Structure and Function in Native Cells and Macromolecular Complexes to be highlighted in a special issue. Submit your work 👉 bit.ly/3L9q9aJ

Congratulations Emily Liman !

.Weill Cornell Medicine Anesthesiology and RMIT University researchers discover the possibility of new ion channel-targeting drugs. “The discovery of a site where small molecules can selectively access this important ion channel is an exciting development,” said Dr. Crina Nimigean. bit.ly/3OQI4Go
