9-01-2021. Welcome to Dr. Sathyan Mattada, who is joining the faculty in CCAM and the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences. Dr. Mattada works in association with Michael Guertin’s lab exploring mechanisms of transcriptional regulation using inducible rapid degradation systems.

8-31-21. See Pedro Mendes’ interview with Dan Corcoran of NBC Connecticut news here.  Dr. Mendes discusses the implications of his COVID-19 infection models and trajectories for the current surge.  You can also find an article in the Hartford Courant by Alex Putterman that extensively quotes Dr. Mendes on the current COVID-19 infection numbers in CT and the predictions of Dr. Mende’s models.

8-2-21. Lauren Marazzi and her teammates came in first place at the PhysiCell Workshop and Hackathon 2021. They developed PhysiPKPD, a standardized addon with user friendly implementation to PhysiCell for simulating pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Congratulations on your work!

7-06-2021. Please welcome our newest faculty member, Dr. Michael Guertin, who joins CCAM and the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences. Dr. Guertin’s laboratory uses genomics, biochemistry and computational biology tools to explore mechanisms of transcriptional regulation and regulatory cascades in hormonal signaling.

5-13-21. Drs Ion Moraru and Michael Blinov along with computer specialists Gnaneswara Marupilla and Michael Wilson are co-authors on a new paper in Nuclei Acids Research describing the new resources available through RunBioSimulations, a product of the NIH-funded National Biomedical Technology Resource lead by Ion Moraru of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Herbert Sauro at Washington University.
