Great profile of grad student Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan in our lab. Article describes her project of partnering with Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago to design a robotics-driven HTS antibiotic discovery program. iiseagrant.org/meet-our-grad-…

The latest issue of #ACSInfectiousDiseases in live! go.acs.org/5Pg This month's cover article from BT Murphy Lab describes the development of DAPA, a tool used to discover new antibiotic natural products.

Ovarian cancer is particularly hard to detect. New research from UIC Retzky College of Pharmacy and University of Illinois Cancer Center used cutting-edge techniques to identify a new biomarker that offers hope for effective routine screening — possibly even at home. today.uic.edu/new-biomarker-…

Excited to share that our latest publication - discovery of new antibiotic using novel dual sided agar plate assay (DAPA) - made the cover of Infectious Diseases Diseases!

If you missed my talk at the recent pharmacognosy.us meeting, I just posted a version on YouTube youtu.be/TBDTNq_Xb4c via YouTube

Brian Murphy just told a super cool story about middle schoolers doing antibiotic discovery from bacteria isolated from soil (or in one case, goose poop) UIC Retzky College of Pharmacy. Nice work! 💩 🦠 #ICNPR2024

Outstanding talks by Sandra Loesgen (loesgenlab.bsky.social) Jaclyn M. Winter Mevers Lab Clevenger and Bewley labs at SIMB. A very inspiring session organized by Parkinson Laboratory and Dr Gillian Bruni from USDA.

A big shout out to my lab who held it together with me being occupied by conference after conference this summer. I’m a lucky PI. Alyssa, Deeya, Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan Mandy, Xochitl, Nyssa Krull Julia, Natalie

New work from our lab: Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan leads a partnership with middle school students from the Boys & Girls Club Chicago @BGCChi to discover new bioactive natural products. High-end NP discovery and outreach can coexist! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Latest story from our lab! I've been so fortunate to be able to integrate two passions - biomedical research and STEM outreach. Huge shoutout to the wonderful collaborators on this project including scientists, volunteers, and partners at @BGCChi.

We're looking for a new Assistant Professor in Marine Natural Products/Marine Biotechnology Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Come join us - apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF04101

Congratulations!! Chicago middle school students and UIC🎉 BT Murphy Lab Great example of community-driven science on the west side Garfield Park Lagoon❤️. interestingengineering.com/science/cancer…

Work from our lab by Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan featured in Washington Post and cover of Chicago Tribune. It highlights a partnership between our local Boys & Girls Club and UIC to engage middle school students in STEM careers via real biomedical research!
