Fridays at GiGi’s are getting even better! 💙🧡

Today marked our second Friday of our new adult programming, and this week we headed into the kitchen! 👩‍🍳🫑

Our adults worked alongside volunteers from the Genetic Counseling Master’s Program from University at Buffalo to make stuffed peppers…and judging by these photos, there was plenty of fun along the way!

Our new Friday programming gives adults another opportunity each week to connect, socialize, learn new skills, stay active and try something new. We’re so excited to see this program continue to grow!

📅 Every Friday | 12–4 PM

A big thank you to our friends at UB (@ubuffalobiomed ) for spending their Fridays with us and helping make these afternoons possible! 💙

Our new biomedical sciences students have already begun digging into research, studies, lab life, and fun! 🧪

During graduate orientation on Aug. 20 and 21, we welcomed a great new group of incoming master’s and PhD students to @jacobs_med_ub.

Students had a chance to get to know each other, learn about resources and lab safety, check out clubs, and hear from leaders and faculty throughout the school.

Welcome, everyone! 👋

*JUST* published in Cell: “Modern Science Outreach: A Guide for Scientists.”

I’m super proud of this piece, which provides a guide for scientists on how to engage the public in the modern information ecosystem.

If you’re a scientist (or know one), please check it out (or share it!)

Survived graduate school on caffeine and questionable optimism!

End of my PhD era … entering my postdoc era 👩🏻‍🔬

UB Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Science White Coat Ceremony formally accepts PhD candidates into labs and marks the candidate’s transition into intensive research. 🔬 We are so proud of Abby and love the Dr Sinha & Dr Lee Ann Garrett- Sinha’s research labs; warm and inspiring environments. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around Buffalo, seeing the lab, and exploring Abby’s haunts. #whitecoatphd #futuredrlowder #goschmoopie #biochemistry

It still hasn’t fully hit me that this chapter is over. There were so many moments when the journey felt overwhelming (sleepless nights, early mornings, sacrifices, self-doubt, and constantly pushing myself beyond what I thought I could handle). But looking back now, every challenge shaped me into the person I am becoming. 🤍
B.S. in Biomedical Sciences (Honors College Scholar, Summa Cum Laude, all that good stuff lol) Phi Beta Kappa Honors Society Mayo Clinic Undergraduate Plummer Scholar President of Alpha Epsilon Delta Honors Society Vice President of Premeds Without Borders  Activities Coordinator and Vice President of the Minority Association of Pre-Med Students  Human Anatomy Teaching Assistant Medicinal Chemistry Research Health Equity Research*
I’m honestly blown away by what I was able to accomplish in four years despite the hurdles. More than the accomplishments, I’m grateful for the growth, the people, the memories, and every door that opened throughout this journey. Thank you to the Jacobs School @jacobs_med_ub @universityatbuffalo @ubuffalobiomed for helping shape this chapter of my life and grow a step closer to being the physician that my patients need🤍Here’s to the next one and to becoming everything I once prayed for. ✨

Abby will be the keynote speaker at the Putnam Valley Science Research Symposium this year. She worked with Dr Peter Johanson and published three articles in peer-reviewed journals during her junior and senior years while at Putnam Valley in Science Research. She continued her research working with fruit flies at Hamilton College: “Modelling Glioblastoma Angiogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster Larvae” with Dr Datta.

Abby is currently in her PhD program in the Biochemistry Department at the University of Buffalo, studying the SOX2 gene with Dr Satrajit Sinha. SOX2 is a gene that helps cells stay young and keep dividing. Cancer can cause the SOX2 gene to stay in the ’on’ position, so cells keep on diving which is useful for tumour formation and allows them to keep multiplying and taking over the universe. She hopes to apply the concepts gained to researching glioblastomas.

I was the keynote speaker at the Putnam Valley Science Research Symposium seven years ago...

So proud of this young lady. Abby is a recipient of the prestigious 'National Institute of Health T32 IMSD' grant. The goal of the Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program is to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a PhD who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. The program's long-term goal is to enhance the diversity of biomedical research scientists in the nation's workforce. They pay a generous stipend to support students as they work through their PhD.

She unofficially matched with Dr Satrajit Sinha, PhD, in the Department of Biochemistry at the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. This means she will work in this lab over the next four years to attain her PhD, hopefully studying glioblastomas. Dr Sinha's lab focuses on understanding the transcriptional control mechanisms that govern epithelial cell development, differentiation, and cancer. (Gene Expression; Genomics and proteomics; Molecular and Cellular Biology).

Drugs that act on NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors are key for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. These drugs were developed based on the assumption that the proportion of calcium in the current produced by these receptors remains constant. But that assumption turns out to be false, according to @jacobs_med_ub research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences!

Gabriela K. Popescu, PhD, is corresponding author; she’s a professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School. First author is Mae Weaver, PhD — now a postdoctoral trainee at @hopkinsmedicine — who undertook this research for her doctoral thesis in Popescu’s lab.

🔗 Use the link in our bio to see why Popescu says: “Our discovery pioneers a new way of thinking about what can be achieved with NMDA receptor-targeted drugs.”

What’s it like to study neuroscience as an undergrad at @jacobs_med_ub? Honors student Madi Enser shows us what her experience has been like in the lab, @ubuffalobiomed classes and on campus — as well as how her research opportunity in the lab of Rebekah M. Charney, PhD, changed the trajectory of her academic career!
