Soma Lab research reveals a new way stress hormones affect our immune system
Dr. Kiran Soma recently published his 100th paper entitled “Lymphoid organs of neonatal and adult mice preferentially produce active glucocorticoids from metabolites, not precursors” in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. This new research, which he co-authored with former UBC Ph.D. student Matthew Taves, explores the role that stress plays in our immune system. Publishing […]
Mass Spectrometry System
Capable of simultaneously measuring multiple steroids with excellent sensitivity and specificity, our liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system greatly advances our pursuits at the cutting-edge of endocrine research. This instrument was purchased with funds from CFI and BCKDF and enables us to push the technological boundaries of what can be achieved in steroid analysis […]
