The results of the ASBMB member survey are in and we thank the nearly 1,500 members, past members and broader BMB scientists who participated: https://ow.ly/LFqP50Uqp1c. Asked the highest-level question about ASBMB’s main purpose, respondents were clear: science and community.

Judith Storch, who has served on ASBMB’s Journal of Biological Chemistry editorial board and the ASBMB Publications Committee, won the 2025 Avanti Award in Lipids. Her lab studies lipid traffic in cells, with particular emphasis on the proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids, monoacylglycerols and cholesterol.

In the early 2000s, Don Hunt's lab at the University of Virginia started developing mass spec based approaches to characterize histone PTMs. I and others were fortunate to be at the right place at the right time back then. Read an account about those early days here. https://lnkd.in/giYjjn9d

I am excited to share my "From the Journal: MCP" piece for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) Today! After a long time, it was refreshing to dive back into fascinating proteomics research articles and write about diverse topics, including pandemic preparedness, mapping brain changes from drug addiction, osmotic stress response, and crop resilience, all interconnected by innovative mass spectrometry techniques. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. https://lnkd.in/gAhtJDKp

What started as a supportive group chat some 5 years ago has culminated into an essay, which you can find on #ASBMB Today here: https://lnkd.in/gbPhR3dW Thank you Karen Lewis for amplifying our voices, always providing a space where we could talk about our issues, and for always being an amazing, supportive #mentor. Thanks to some of the greatest friends and colleagues (Alejandro Oviedo, Julia Roberts, and Jose Castro) for adding your unique perspectives for this well-rounded piece. And thank you American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) for making such opportunities to write essays about important topics possible!
