If you're a scholar athlete you know how tough it can be to juggle academics and sports. UCSD Chem Biochem's Cliff Kubiak has been an advocate for our student athletes for over a decade, helping them succeed in the classroom and in competition. bit.ly/4cojEyx UC San Diego Tritons

Researchers, including UCSD Chem Biochem's Itay Budin, have discovered that deep-sea comb jellies have a homeocurvature adaptation that allows them to live at the bottom of the ocean. How exactly does it work? Check out this article from Popular Science. bit.ly/4bvD8Qy Itay Budin

"When we thought it up, it was a very kind of simple idea, in theory. Getting it to actually work and doing all the protein engineering was a Herculean effort.” UCSD Chem Biochem

The dangers of plastic to our environment and health can't be ignored. Researchers across University of California are helping us understand the risks and create viable alternatives, including researchers from UCSD Chem Biochem and Algenesis Materials. bit.ly/3WMSlsw #BiodegradablePlastic

Cell Signaling San Diego honours the legacy of our dear friend and colleague Roger Tsien UCSD Biomed Sciences PhD Program Department of Pharmacology, UCSD UCSD Chem Biochem

Eight early-career faculty at UC San Diego received U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER awards so far in 2024, including 3 Jacobs School faculty! Congrats to Profs.

New work from UCSD Chem Biochem Julia Ortony's group at MIT shows the biochemical phenomenon of surface dynamics mediating surface binding events, which has implications for water purification and interface sciences. Published in Nature Communications. bit.ly/4ejjFFi @OrtonyLab

.UCSD Chem Biochem's Joel Yuen-Zhou is one of C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)' Latin American Trailblazers. He recalls when he was a young student, he met mentors who saw his potential and encouraged his love for and curiosity about science. bit.ly/3ZFZgWc Yuen-Zhou Research Group UCSD

🎇Congrats🎇 to UCSD Chem Biochem prof Francesco Paesani on receiving the Division of Chemical Physics Fellowship from the American Physical Society. More on the award and his work here ➡️ bit.ly/4hbYFSy Paesani Lab American Physical Society

How did the first living cells come to exist and how did they develop the structural membranes necessary to thrive? New research from UCSD Chem Biochem Neal Devaraj has uncovered a plausible explanation. Published in Nature Chemistry. bit.ly/4hYbZKO

Nonribosomal peptide synthetase enzymes are essential in creating medications like penicillin. Notoriously difficult to study, UCSD Chem Biochem's Michael Burkart has developed crosslinking tools that make the enzymes easier to visualize. bit.ly/4h3ZFHr Burkart Lab at UCSD

Nitrogen is essential for cell growth and function, but must be “fixed” into a usable form. To better understand a key component of this biological process, UCSD Chem Biochem profs Akif Tezcan and Mark Herzik took a multi-pronged approach. bit.ly/4h2sMee

💥Congratulations💥 to UCSD Chem Biochem's Itay Budin and Chris Obara on receiving $1.5M from Allen Institute to develop visualization and tracking techniques to better understand how cell organelles track and transfer lipids. bit.ly/3PEOcSU Itay Budin UC San Diego School of Medicine
