Congratulations to MBB professors Dr. Sharon Gorski, Dr. David Vocadlo LaboratoryChemicalGlycobiology and Dr. King Lab!

MBB professor Dr. Glen Tibbits named SFU Distinguished Professor!

Thanks for the shoutout about our work led in my lab by PhD student Jenny Liao, in collaboration with Bellen lab and Hyunglok Chung. Link to the paper is here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

A team led by SFU Chemistry professors David Vocadlo and Rob Britton has developed a technology that helps antibodies fight cancer up to 50 times more effectively, and now they're working to bring it to market: ow.ly/PlJB50SOIu8

MBB professor William Hsiao William Hsiao co-leading new genomics hub that will innovate Canadian agriculture with $15.8M investment.

What's the buzz? A small fly may have a big impact on #Parkinson’s disease research. Researchers at Simon Fraser University's Verheyen lab (Dr. Esther Verheyen) have discovered a gene that appears to reverse Parkinson’s disease symptoms in fruit flies. 🪰: bit.ly/3ytC56j

"Glen Tibbits, along with Dr. Shubhayan Sanatani and a team of researchers, recently published a paper in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology outlining the advances in HCM disease modelling using heart cells derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells."

SFU Molecular Biology and Biochemistry The paper published in the Canadian J Cardiology was primarily the effort of our stellar MD PhD student Saif Dababneh

Dr. Glen Tibbits and @Saif_Dababneh from BC Children's Hospital Research Institute used heart cells derived from #hiPSCs to further the modeling of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. ❤️ The hiPSCs develop beating heart cells that are genetically identical to the patient’s cells: bit.ly/3Xcme5N

Congratulations Leith Davis, David Vocadlo and Nicholas Dulvy for joining the Royal Society of Canada, the country’s highest academic honour. SFU has more than 70 incredible faculty in the RSC making a difference through innovative and impactful research: ow.ly/HUVH50TeB7R

Congratulations to SFU Molecular Biology and Biochemistry professor Ryan D Morin on receiving the Canadian Cancer Society Bernard and Francine Dorval Prize for his research that has helped advance our understanding and treatment of lymphomas.
