Chapkin Lab Members Compete in Student Research Week

Student Research Week (SRW) is the largest student run research symposium in the nation. This four day competition highlights student research occurring on the Texas A&M campus. Students who participate are provided a venue to present their work through either oral presentations or poster sessions. This event allows students, faculty, and the community to see the depth and breadth of research conducted at Texas A&M. For the past 20 years, SRW has been a valuable tool in meeting the university’s mission of academic, research, and service excellence. SRW is a premier program of the Graduate and Professional Student Council and is supported by several academic and nonacademic departments on campus.

Huajun Han, Destiny Mullens, Michael Salinas and Gabriella Webster of Chapkin Lab all competed.

Destiny Mullens took home 1st in the Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences Category in Graduate Oral with her presentation titled:  “Host exfoliome responses to a dietary lignan intervention in the context of enterolactone excretion phenotype” Click Here to view her Abstract.

Gabriella Webster placed 1st in the Agriculture and Life Sciences Category in Undergraduate Oral with her presentation titled: “Illuminating molecular mechanisms by which dietary DHA aids in colon cancer prevention” Click Here to view her Abstract. Click Here to view her presentation.

Untimely immune cell clocks may contribute to obesity and diabetes in shift workers

Texas A&M reclocksearchers discover the effects of shift work on immune cell clocks may lead to metabolic disorders

About 15 million Americans don’t have a typical nine-to-five workday, and many of these—nurses, firefighters and flight attendants, among many other professions—may see their schedule change drastically one week to the next. As a result, these shift workers’ biological clocks, which keep track of the time of day, cannot keep accurate time, potentially making the negative effects of a high fat diet on metabolic disorders even more pronounced, according to new research published in The FASEB Journal.

WEBINAR: Emerging Roles of Lipids in the Modulation of Cancer Risk and Therapy

Webinar LinkWebinar on lipids and oncology, presented by Dr. Catherine Field and Dr. Robert Chapkin, two of the world’s leading experts in the molecular mechanisms by which lipids modulate cancer risk and therapy. Together with DSM’s Dr. Keri Marshall, they will discuss the evidence for the use of lipids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), as a part of neoadjuvant therapy for two of the most common cancers: breast and colon.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Texas A&M University has been awarded a Division of Computing and Communication Foundations grant by the National Science Foundation to develop a gut-microbial investigation model that can identify critical dietary risk factors that cause colorectal cancer. The three-year, $350,000 project is a direct outcome of Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station’s Interdisciplinary Seed Grants for Strategic Initiatives, which provided initial funding to establish the collaborative research effort.
