Congratulations to Daria Ostroverkhova on her first author review article entitled “Cancer driver mutations: predictions and reality”, which was recently published in Trends in Molecular Medicine. Daria is a PhD student with Dr. Anna Panchenko.

Daria’s research employs computational approaches to explore mutations in cancer and correlate the observed patterns with mutations in cancer driver genes, including those encoding DNA polymerases. Their research aims to determine if such driver mutations can be used as cancer biomarkers capable of predicting clinical outcomes.

Time:      4:00 pm.
Place:    Richardson Amphitheatre Rm. 104

On April 25, the Government of Canada announced support for high-risk, high-reward research projects that address some of Canada's and the world's most pressing challenges with a multidisciplinary, innovative approach. Researchers from Queen's Health Sciences secured $1.75 million from the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) to support projects that will advance new therapies, diagnosis and medical technology, and seek new ways to change health workplaces to promote compassion and positive mental health.

In total, nine Queen's-led programs were granted $3 million overall, with QHS researchers participating in most of the funded projects.

Christopher Lohans (Biomedical and Molecular Sciences), Carlos Escobedo (Chemical Engineering), Aristides Docoslis (Chemical Engineering), and Prameet Sheth (Pathology and Molecular Medicine) will develop a new diagnostic device to quickly diagnose antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections

Xiaolong Yang (Pathology and Molecular Medicine) and Shetuan Zhang (Biomedical and Molecular Sciences) will look at how to increase patient survival rates of heart failure
