✨ Employee Spotlight: Nathan ✨

We’re excited to welcome Nathan back to abm — now as a full-time member of our Cell Biology team!

Nathan completed his BSc in Biochemistry at UBC and first joined ABM during an 8-month co-op (Jan–Aug 2024) with the Cloning department, working on DNA preps, transformations, and lab maintenance. As of January 2026, he’s returned to support cell maintenance and shipping — and we’re so glad to have him back!

Outside the lab, Nathan enjoys spending time with friends and staying active through basketball and volleyball.

🏒 Fun fact: He writes and plays hockey left-handed, but does almost everything else right-handed — even pipetting!

🧬 Science Today | Scientists Decode the 1918 Flu Genome From Century-Old Tissue

Researchers from the University of Zurich and University of Basel have successfully reconstructed the first Swiss genome of the 1918 influenza virus using a preserved tissue sample more than 100 years old. The genome reveals that the virus already carried critical adaptations for infecting humans at the very start of the pandemic.

By comparing the Swiss strain with historical flu genomes from Europe and North America, the team identified three key mutations that enhanced human infectivity and immune resistance. Two changes helped the virus evade antiviral components of the human immune system, while a third improved its ability to bind receptors on human cells — traits that persisted throughout the pandemic.

The work, led by Verena Schünemann, also introduced a new method for recovering ancient RNA, opening the door to sequencing other historic RNA viruses. These insights provide a rare evolutionary snapshot of pandemic emergence and could inform models for future outbreak preparedness.

🧬 Science Today | New Tool Reads DNA & RNA in One Cell

Scientists at EMBL have developed SDR-seq, a breakthrough single-cell technology that reads both DNA and RNA from the same cell — unlocking how genetic variants in coding and non-coding regions influence disease.

Because more than 95% of disease-linked mutations live in non-coding DNA, traditional single-cell methods often miss them. SDR-seq solves this by capturing genome-wide variants alongside gene expression at high throughput, revealing how specific mutations alter cellular states.

Using patient-derived B-cell lymphoma samples, researchers showed that cells with more variants displayed stronger malignant signaling, demonstrating SDR-seq’s ability to connect genotype and phenotype with unprecedented precision.

By finally linking hidden non-coding variants to their functional effects, SDR-seq opens new possibilities for diagnosing disease, interpreting risk variants, and developing future therapies.

🧬 Science Today | Breakthrough Lets Scientists Grow Immune Cells They Couldn’t Before

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have unlocked a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells in the lab — a cell type that was previously impossible to produce consistently. By precisely timing key developmental signals, the team coaxed stem cells into becoming powerful immune “conductors” that help activate and sustain anti-disease responses.

The advance addresses a longstanding obstacle in immune cell therapies, where the lack of scalable production limited how broadly these treatments could be applied. Growing both helper and killer T cells from stem cells could make off-the-shelf immune therapies more effective, affordable, and accessible for cancer and other diseases.

This breakthrough moves engineered cell therapies closer to being ready-made rather than patient-specific, with the potential to transform how immune-based treatments are manufactured and deployed.

🧬 Science Today | Scientists Made a Flash of Light Disappear Inside a Liquid

Scientists have demonstrated an unusual optical effect by making a flash of light disappear inside a liquid using high-harmonic spectroscopy. By sending ultrafast laser pulses through an ultrathin liquid sheet, the team observed the complete suppression of a specific harmonic signal.

By comparing closely related liquid mixtures, the researchers found that subtle solute–solvent interactions can reshape local electronic structure and interfere with electron motion. These interactions alter how electrons recombine, causing the emitted light to vanish on attosecond timescales.

The discovery opens a new way to probe ultrafast chemical and electronic dynamics in liquids, offering powerful insights into molecular structure and interactions that were previously inaccessible.
