Whether it's unraveling the mysteries of newly synthesized polymers on a microscopic level or finding order amidst the chaos of a busy life, today's guest, Whitney Loo, is always finding ways to integrate the macroscopic with the microscopic.
The cell envelope plays an important role in the life cycle of bacteria, controlling its shape and creating a physical barrier to protect it from the environment. Bacteria must manage cell growth and division to survive and reproduce. Disrupting that process leads to release of fatty acids, or lipids. Two new studies shed light on the process in one, and likely other, species.
Do you remember who first sparked your interest in science? In this episode, we sit down with Aurora Munguía López, postdoctoral researcher in Zavalab in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at UW-Madison.
Renewable energy is ramping up quickly.
In fall 2022, right after Midwestern farmers had gathered the last crops of the season, a team of CALS agronomy researchers hurried into the fields to collect samples of the soil.
Today we spoke with Blaise Manga Enuh, a postdoc in the Noguera Lab studying microbial genomics and systems biology. He got his Ph.D in biotechnology and biosafety at Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi in Turkey. He provides insight on the importance of his research, the role it plays in achieving the goals of the GLBRC, and what inspires his work.
