Hyperactivation of innate immunity results in autoimmune diseases, while deficiency in innate immunity is prone to tumorigenesis. Thus, the activity of innate immune signaling is tightly controlled but the regulatory mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Recently, the labs of Liu and Damania published a study in iScience revealing a role of the bacterial protein streptavidin in binding and facilitating cGAS activation.

It is known that the three-dimensional organization of the genome within the nucleus is important for proper gene expression and ultimately development. The mechanisms behind this organization, however, are not yet fully understood. Recently, the lab of Jill Dowen, PhD, published a study in Epigenetics & Chromatin solving a piece of this complex puzzle.

Carolina is pausing all undergraduate instruction on Aug. 24 and Aug. 25 to help students catch their breath and make the transition to remote learning. Undergraduate classes will resume Aug. 26

Effective Wednesday, August 19, all undergraduate in-person instruction will shift to remote learning. Courses in our graduate, professional and health affairs schools will continue to be taught as they are, or as directed by the schools. Academic advising and academic support services will be available online. Our research enterprise will remain unchanged.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, The 黑料网 research funding increased by more than $24 million during fiscal year 2020.

Dr. Oztas will join the faculty in Koc University in September 2020. In his own lab, he will pursue two main research programs: the maintenance of genome stability in plants under DNA-damaging environmental stress and the symbiotic interaction between plants and microbes. During his tenure as a postdoc in Dr. Aziz Sancar鈥檚 lab in the …

Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz, PhD, celebrates the hard work of Carolina鈥檚 researchers who have received record-high research funding and shares updates from last week鈥檚 Board of Trustees meeting.

The Department ranks fifth among all Biochemistry departments in the US, (both public and private institutions not just public) in 2019. We received over $18.6 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2019.

Effective August 1, work windows (shifts) will no longer be required in School of Medicine research labs but 50% occupancy and social distancing must still be observed.

We would like to extend a big thank you to the dedicated support groups that have kept our research active during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are in gratitude for the flexibility & hard work of these outstanding members of our community.
