Acute myeloid leukemia is a fatal blood cancer. The malignant AML blast cells rapidly overwhelm the bone marrow, disrupting resident hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and normal blood production and eventually causing death. Treatment involves the administration of DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents that indiscriminately kill both HSC and progenitors, leading to myelosuppression and ultimately drug dose attenuation. Ideally, drugs should specifically target …
Abstract: New advances in analytical chemistry for large-scale epidemiological studies: Insights into nutrition and smoke exposures for global health A suboptimal diet and tobacco smoking are two leading modifiable risk factors in chronic disease burden globally that are typically evaluated using questionnaires by epidemiologists despite being prone to bias and misreporting. This presentation …

CRBI Seminar - Karen C. Waldron Department of Chemistry, Université de Montréal Crosslinked proteolytic enzymes for microscale proteomics applications Proteolytic enzymes are routinely used to cleave the potentially thousands of proteins in a biological sample into smaller, more manageable peptide fragments. This facilitates their separation and identification by nano-HPLC, capillary electrophoresis (CE) and/or mass spectrometry …
