Congratulations to Alice Ko, Joanetta Jean-Baptiste, Sasha Khazhinsky, and Anthony Widjaja on receiving the Dean’s Undergraduate Research Fund! 

Apr 2023:

Smruti got the NYU Research Catalyst Prize. Congratulations, Smruti!

December 2021:

Another PhD from the Vogel Lab: Kristina Allgoewer successfully defended her dissertation on proteomic signatures in serum of Zika and dengue patients! Kristina originally joined the lab in 2016 as a visiting Master’s student and stayed on for another 4 years as a visiting doctoral student in a collaboration with the Ohler lab (Humboldt University of Berlin/MDC).


May 2021:

Two new PhDs from the Vogel Lab: Congratulations to Burcu Vitrinel and Justin Rendleman on successfully defending their theses!


March 2021:

ASBMB Today is reporting on our recently published article on new proteomic signatures to distinguish between Zika and dengue infections (Allgoewer et al.) in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics. In a collaboration between the Vogel lab (proteomics) and the Ghedin lab (genomics) we were able to retrieve robust conclusions from a challenging data set.


February 2021:

The Vogel lab identifies new proteomic signatures to distinguish between Zika and dengue infections using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry: Kristina Allgoewer and Shuvadeep Maity publish their analysis of human serum samples from Zika and dengue patients in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics. Three of the differentially expressed proteins, i.e. Fibrinogen Alpha, Platelet Factor 4 Variant 1, and Pro-Platelet Basic Protein, predict Zika virus infection at a ∼70% true positive and 6% false positive rate.


December 2020:

Congratulations to Funda Kar, who was awarded the NYU Biology Department Chair’s Fellowship for demonstrating outstanding research potential!


August 2020:

We are proud to be part of the Chan Zuckerberg Neurodegeneration Challenge Network with our our collaborator Esteban Mazzoni (NYU Biology). The project investigates new functions of the proteasome, started by former lab member Shuvadeep Maity (now faculty at BITS Pilani). 

Congratulations to former lab member Gustavo Silva (now faculty at Duke University) for publication of his work on the structural changes in the K63 ubiquitinated ribosome.


June 2020:

A new proteomics workflow from the Vogel Lab: Burcu Vitrinel publishes a protein quantification method in ACS Omega. The workflow uses chemical peptide labeling, does not require specific equipment other than cell lysis tools, and quantifies >2500 proteins with high reproducibility. 


December 2019:

Congrats to Burcu Vitrinel on receiving the Dean’s Dissertation Fellowship!


October 2019:

We are excited to participate in a nation-wide effort to understand the response to flu vaccines! 

Ted M. Ross (U of Georgia) is leading an NIH project to create and test new influenza vaccines that may one day replace seasonal vaccines.

September 2019:

Congrats to Justin Rendleman on receiving the Steve Kazianis Memorial Award!
Congrats to Burcu Vitrinel on receiving the Fleur Strand Graduate Fellowship!


August 2019:

The Vogel Lab appears in a Technology Feature in Nature Methods: “A dream of single-cell proteomics”.

Congratulations to Burcu Vitrinel, Funda Kar, Shuvadeep Maity, and Justin Rendleman on the publication of the minireview “Exploiting Interdata Relationships in Next-generation Proteomics Analysis”!
