Pleased to share our new paper published in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle. doi.org/10.1002/jcsm...

She’s here! Thank you to NSERC RTI for our new flow cytometer!

We are looking for new graduate students! Feel free to repost or pass along to prospective students

Great times at Brock University for the 7th Ontario Cell Biology Symposium with a big Trent cohort from labs Tobin, Robertson, and Yee #ocbs2025

www.trentarthur.ca/news/moth-ni... Moth Night 2025: Mothing but the Best - a great article on moth night, hosted by friend and colleague Prof Sarah Jamieson whose limited term appointment was not renewed by Trent due to “budget cuts”. The article elaborates on that as well.

Thank you to NSERC for funding our RTI grant. We will now be able to purchase a desperately needed flow cytometer! Shoutout to my co applicants on the grant, Profs Robertson, Yee and Xenopoulos.

Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick AI tools into giving them a positive peer-review report go.nature.com/3U3WWEu

🔥12 years in the making!🔥 So excited our paper is finally out in Cell Reports! Great collaboration with Dr. Robert Huber @ Trent U, funded by NSERC and CIHR. The evolutionarily conserved PRP4K-CHMP4B/vps32 splicing circuit regulates autophagy: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Congratulations to Trent University undergrad thesis student Rachel Wamsteeker for receiving a CIHR Travel Award! She just shared her work at CPHA in Winnipeg. @metisnationon.bsky.social @icesontario.bsky.social

Ever thawed a vial of cells (C2C12 cells), had them attach and look just fine, but then after 1 passage they don’t attach and those that do gradually die? We can’t figure it out….tried new reagents already.

Dr. Stephanie Tobin received Trent’s prestigious Early Career Researcher Award! Dr. Tobin is an asst. professor in Biology, specializing in cellular aging and repair mechanisms. She is a collaborative researcher, working with other Trent faculty on aging and cell research. Congrats Dr. Tobin!

Honoured to be a recipient of the 2025 Trent University Early Career Researcher Award! Thank you to my nominator and referees, my collaborators/colleagues and of course my students. www.trentu.ca/researchinno...

Looking forward to hosting Prof Sarah Dick at our seminar series tomorrow

I'm hiring a summer research assistant! Must be a Trent student eligible for TSWEP. See Trent job board Job ID 40082

Anyone have experience with the bioseb vs Columbus grip strength meters? The quotes are quite different.

Thanks TrentUResearch for a Research & Development Grant. With chemistry Profs Hendel & Stewart we will generate biomaterials for muscle repair

Two great in person talks at Trent yesterday: Western Prof Samantha Gateman on corrosion (including corrosion of copper intrauterine devices) and Laurier Prof Erin Leonard on a mix of projects related to carotid bodies, leptin, antidepressants and the effects on fish physiology!

A rite of passage: first cihr project grant done and results back! (Thank you to the reviewers for the helpful comments.) The RiT program certainly helped give me a sense of how things shake out but having a hard time interpreting the NOR.

Acadia is hiring an Assistant Professor, Tenure Track in Biopharma and Animal Physiology which closes February 3, see details here (and let me know if you have any questions about Acadia!) Please share: universityaffairs.ca/search-job/?...

I'll be sticking to good news on bluesky. So here is a story about the big award that Maggie Xenopoulos is receiving at the AGU meeting in a couple of weeks. www.trentu.ca/news/story/4...

We're hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in undergraduate biology teaching! Come work at the University of Guelph and join an awesome department with a great and large cohort of new faculty!
