Excited to share our recent publication in #RedoxBiology. This is the first demonstration that nitric oxide can directly regulate the epitranscriptome! Read the full article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Thomas lab member Dr. Hannah Petraitis Kuschman who successfully passed her Ph.D. defense today! Her novel work on “NO and Epitranscriptomics” surely deserves attention!

Final countdown for the 12th International Conference on the Biology, Chemistry, and Therapeutic Applications of Nitric Oxide (October 29-30, Sendai, Japan)! no2022.jp/index.html

Congratulations to lab members Marianne Palczewski and Hannah Petraitis Kuschman who won 1st and 2nd place awards for their posters on Nitric oxide and epigenetic regulation in cancer (Cancer Center Science Prize) at the UIC College of Pharmacy Research Day on October 21, 2022!

As Editor-in-chief of Biological Chemistry I’m proud to announce that now has an impact factor (IF) of 4.700! This is the highest in its 145-year history! Please consider submitting your manuscripts to Biological Chemistry. degruyter.com/journal/key/bc…

The field of nitric oxide and cancer is alive and well! Listening to many great talks at the NO and Cancer meeting in Copenhagen. nocancer2022.atlantacongress.org

Dr. Thomas was recently quoted in “Medical New Today” medicalnewstoday.com/articles/cance…

A combination of state-of-the-art technologies has now enabled researchers to generate the first complete human genome sequence go.nature.com/3G6X5iN

Lab member Marianne Palczewski won 1st place for her oral presentation at the MIKIW Medicinal Chemistry meeting in Iowa City, IA. The title of her talk was "Nitric Oxide Reprograms DNA Methylation in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer by Inhibiting DNA Demethylases”

Lab member Hannah Petraitis Kuschman publishes paper “Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide: sibling rivalry in the family of epigenetic regulators”

Lab member Marianne Palczewski publishes paper "Vorinostat exhibits anticancer effects in Triple Negative Breast Cancer cells by preventing nitric oxide driven histone deacetylation”

Dr. Thomas becomes the Editor in Chief of Biological Chemistry journal
