It’s Always Grant Season in Science

Jun 27, 2023

Competition for grant opportunities has never been more intense. Understanding what grant reviewers look for is essential for success.

Publication Trends of Single Cell RNA Sequencing Research

May 11, 2023

Cells profiled in each publication double every year. Experimental size is growing at a break-neck pace, demanding increased attention on experimental design and technology selection. Today’s prevailing methods for single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis still rely on specialized hardware. Since 2015, these methods have been widely used, allowing tens of thousands of cells to […]

Using scRNA-Seq to Analyze the Effects of Lung Inflammation in SARS-Cov-2 Patients

Mar 29, 2023

Imagine that as a young scientist you saw a formerly fatal illness become treatable. Now, imagine that major contributors to this groundbreaking result become your mentors. It happened to Dr. Alejandro Pezzulo, MD, an Assistant Professor of Internal and Pulmonary Medicine at the University of Iowa. After witnessing the successful treatment of cystic fibrosis in […]

Overcoming Obstacles in Differential RNA Isoform Expression at Single Cell Resolution

Mar 20, 2023

One common trait among scientists is that if there is no path forward, they will create one. This is what PhD student Elisabeth Rebboah did when she needed to effectively sequence long alternative splicing isoforms across multiple samples and conditions. Most single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-seq) approaches rely on short-read sequencing. But when isoforms resulting from […]

Investigating the Role of APOE in COVID-19 Mortality

Feb 28, 2023

The arrival of SARS-CoV-2 in early 2020 changed the work environment for most of us. While we were collectively getting used to social distancing, empty offices, and online meetings, Dr. Benjamin Ostendorf was embarking on a new project. While the breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic would unfold over time, it was very soon becoming apparent […]
