The Canadian Society for Molecular Biosciences (CSMB) Arthur Wynne Gold Medal is presented by the CSMB to an individual who has made a major contribution to molecular biosciences in Canada over their career. LINK
All CSMB award winners will present lectures at the 65th CSMB Meeting: Membrane Proteins in Health and Disease, which will take place April […]
A March 12th article in Science Careers on the changing career landscape for PhD graduates highlighted the 10,000 PhDs Project and the importance of determining the career outcomes of PhD graduates.
The 10 founding universities in the Coalition for Next Generation Life Sciences, including UCSF, Johns Hopkins and Cornell, have now released data on their PhD students, including times to completion and their career choices within 1 year after graduation, 5 […]
Where do today’s PhDs find work? Do they all become professors? The 10,000 PhDs Project at the University of Toronto (U of T) answers these questions as highlighted in an article published January 16, 2019 in the open-access science journal PLOS ONE.
The 10,000 PhDs Project used publically-available information to determine the current employment positions of the 10,886 individuals who graduated with a PhD from U of T in all […]
Reinhart Reithmeier and Peter Love, Vice-Chair and Chair respectfully, of the Royal Canadian Institute for Science (RCIScience) published an Op-Ed piece in the July 14 issue of the Toronto Star entitled “Our Politicians Need to Understand Why Science Matters”.
The article highlights the importance of science in driving innovation, in our educational system, and in the public and political arenas. It raises concerns about the dismissal of Ontario’s Chief […]
In a collaborative project started during a sabbatical leave at Oxford, Reinhart Reithmeier and Antreas Kalli (Leeds) used computer simulations to characterize the dynamics of the human red blood cell anion transport protein Band 3 in a complex lipid bilayer.
The study was published on-line July 16th in PLOS Computational Biology.
The simulations showed that the signalling lipid, PIP2, binds to specific sites on the Band 3 protein, a hub […]
The 10,000 PhDs Project, an initiative of the School of Graduate Studies, used internet searches to determine the current (2016) employment positions of the 10,886 individuals who graduated from the University of Toronto from 2000 to 2015 in all disciplines.
An Op-Ed article by Reinhart Reithmeier on the 10,000 PhDs Project was published in University Affairs on February 1, 2018 along with a news […]
Dr. Reinhart Reithmeier talks on “student engagement” on the U of T podcast Raw Talk: http://www.rawtalkpodcast.com/2017/03/10/episode-11-dr-reinhart-reithmeier/
“Success After Graduate School” is NOW available.
Drs. Nana Lee and Reinhart Reithmeier are the co-authors of this guidebook for graduate professional development designed to help create the pathway to your dream career. Special thanks to Nikko Torres for his illustrations and book design work. Thank-you to all students and faculty who helped shape this creation!
Trevor Moraes and Reinhart Reithmeier discuss SLC26 transporters in a News & Views article published in the October 6, 2015 issue of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology entitled “ Solute Carriers Keep on Rockin’ ”. The 400 members of the human solute carriers (SLC) remain among the most poorly characterized of human gene families, although they are essential for nutrient uptake, waste removal and ion transport. Furthermore, mutations in the genes […]
A Perspective article entitled “A Call for Systematic Research on Solute Carriers” was published today (July 30th) in Cell with Reinhart Reithmeier and his post-doc Xiaoyun Bai as co-authors.
This human family of over 400 genes plays an essential role in ion and pH homeostasis, nutrient uptake and waste removal. Mutations in these genes are linked to a plethora of human diseases and SLCs are potential drug targets. Yet, SLCs […]
