Prof. Xinning Zhang and former research fellow Ashley Malone, along with other scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder, for the first time, uncovered the atomic fingerprints of cancer. The discovery offers an exciting opportunity for early cancer diagnosis, potentially improving survival outcomes for thousands of patients.
Katja's recent publication, "Carbon substrate re-orders relative growth of a bacterium using Mo-, V-, or Fe-nitrogenase for nitrogen fixation" just received international press from a group of grad students…
Eunah was awarded a PEI HACK award for her proposed research to study hydrological effects on alternative nase activity!
Katja Luxem’s paper "Carbon substrate re-orders relative growth of a bacterium using Mo-, V-, or Fe-nitrogenase for nitrogen fixation" was just accepted to Environmental Microbiology. Congratulations Katja!"

One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Although public focus has largely been on rising levels of carbon dioxide, methane is roughly 30 times more potent at trapping heat.

A huge congratulations to Dr. Shannon Haynes, who successfully completed and defended her Ph.D. thesis on geochemical proxies of ancient ocean circulation, all while managing to be an awesome lab manager for the Zhang group.
First author Romain Darnajoux, a postdoctoral research associate in Zhang’s research group, explained that the findings validate a long-held hypothesis in the scientific community that different metal variants of nitrogenase exist so that organisms can cope…
