Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) formally joined the University at Buffalo on Jan. 2 after the two entities finalized the legal transfer of HWI assets to the university.

Scientists, including Dr. Michael Martynowycz, who is now part of UB-HWI, have developed a new, detailed guide to help researchers study the tiniest crystals using a technique called Microcrystal Electron Diffraction (MicroED).

A new study, conducted by Dr. Michael Martynowycz from UB-HWI, and researchers at UCLA, and HHMI, reveals how viruses hijack cellular condensates to assemble and replicate.

UB-HWI scientists Nanette Que and Dan Gewirth have published a paper in Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics analyzing how drugs bind selectively to a protein that is an emerging therapeutic target for cancer and other diseases.

Congressman Kennedy announced that HWI and UB have been awarded $1.5 million by the U.S. Department of Energy for a three-year study aimed at understanding the mechanism and health consequences of low-dose radiation at a molecular level.

Dr. Gewirth has recently been awarded a four-year, $1.6 million grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to study molecular chaperones, proteins that are necessary to help other proteins in the body achieve their final, active configurations.

Scientists from Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute and UB were awarded $1.5 million Department of Energy three-year grant for AI-assisted biomedical research.

Congratulations to Sarah EJ Bowman for being elected as a new Fellow of the American Crystallographic Association – the Structural Science Society.

Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute is pleased to announce Dr. Michael Martynowycz, PhD has joined our team as our newest Assistant Investigator.

A team of Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute scientists have a new publication in Cell Press Cell Reports Physical Science.

Dr. Lisa J. Keefe has been elected by the Council of the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) to serve as a director on the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Physics (AIP).

Sarah EJ Bowman, the director of the National Crystallization Center, was an invited speaker and participant in the Electron Diffraction Symposium and Workshop.

Miranda Lynch at Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute and a team led by collaborator Gregory Babbitt at Rochester Institute of Technology have just published a paper in Biophysical Journal describing ATOMDANCE.

Dr. Daniel Gewirth, an Investigator at the Hauptman-Woodward Institute, has participated in a study that examined the way in which proteins are activated in the human body.

HWI’s Education and Diversity Director Nicole Terranova spearheaded the coordination of the 2024 BioXFEL Spring Symposium at Arizona State University this week.

Our Education and Diversity Director Nicole Terranova organized two workshops for BioXFEL (Biology with X-ray Free Electron Lasers) in Puerto Rico.

Dr. Aviv Paz was part of a team that published a paper in the journal Nature Communications.

Dr. Miranda Lynch and collaborators at the Rochester Institute of Technology used machine learning-assisted comparative molecular dynamics methods to study changes in the target when a drug binds.

We are grateful to the James H. Cummings Foundation for funding to purchase an anaerobic chamber.

Dr. John-Paul Bacik was recently elected to the Canadian Light Source (CLS) Users Executive Committee.

We congratulate both Dr. Lisa Keefe for being elected as the new Vice Chair and Dr. Sarah Bowman for being elected as a member of the US National Committee for Crystallography (USNC/Cr).
