Heather Loring, a graduate student from the Thompson Lab, presented during BMB/CBI/BMP joint retreat on June 7th. The title of her talk was “Insights into SARM1’s Kinetic and Catalytic Mechanisms”. She described her recent data that has allowed for the deduction of SARM1’s kinetic mechanism, identification of inhibitors from a high throughput screen, as well as extensive mutagenesis studies to gain a better understanding of SARM1’s catalytic mechanism. Dr. Jill Zitzewitz praised her presentation, by commenting “Great talk” on her twitter account.
She also presented a poster during the poster session, summarizing the key results from the presentation.
She is looking forward to presenting her research and poster again during the upcoming FASEB NAD + Metabolism and Signaling Conference in Ireland for which she gratefully accepted the 2019 Diane M Riccio Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Travel Award.
