I've been very impressed with the Ceres Nano-Trap enrichment beads so far. www.ceresnano.com/nanotrap-peak . I just quantified over 2200 proteins from Dog Plasma. Including reliably seeing KITLG (Stem Cell Factor) which is in the pg/ml range I think. Let's see O-link do that in in dog ...Pfft.

If our research doesn't interest you, I know our view from the graduate student desks will.

You`re giving me PTSD from our first year with the Neo Vanquish. If you run auto-startup script with diagnostics in direct inject mode it has more verbose.

Just recieved 3 quotes from 3 different mass spec vendors.... let the games begin.

Looking for students who are interested in the intersection of molecular biology and mass spectometry. Bioinformatic students, please consider applying, we are happy provide hands-on cell biology training. Biology or Biochemistry students, this is your chance to gain hands-on multi-omics experience.
🚀 Two MSc opportunities at CR-CHUM!
Join our lab to study:
🔬 Early-stage ovarian cancer biomarkers
🧬 EV-mediated communication in the tumour microenvironment

Offered through UdeM (Biologie moléculaire / Biochimie).
Start Jan/May.

Yay! After a month of waiting, my article finally has two reviewers who have agreed. Now time to wait another 1-2 months for review. 😅

I am interviewing a research associate tomorrow and also teach a class. Is wearing a Halloween costume a no-no?

Not sure if I get more email from predatory journals or my kids school. I almost need a seperate email just to keep up with the events and pizza days.

Right now, I have the issue of too many good candidates for one position. I wish I could hire them all. Any advice how to narrow it down at this point? Cost of salary vs time to train is what stands out.

I am still looking for a research coordinator or associate. Please contact me if interested.

Hosting 12 interviews for the lab manager position in my laboratory. Does anyone have advice on what makes a great candidate? I am a new PI so the majority of applications are fresh out of school. I want to give some the benefit of the doubt without it becoming the "blind leading the blind" 😅

#TeamMassSpec Does anyone have advice on manual pipette companies?

Proteomic review has been submitted. I won't tell you the topic yet 🙃

First task as a new PI. Submitted my LOI for NSERC - Discovery Grant. 🥳

This is me at 11pm, after kids in bed, 2 days from becoming an assistant professor. Last experiment of my postdoc. Working on last fist author during centrifuge steps. Publish or perish. It's been a ride.
