“It is sometimes easy to forget that academic research can change the world," said James Frederich, the Werner Herz Associate Professor in @ChemistryFsu. "Daraxonrasib, and the mechanism underlying its action, serves as an excellent reminder of the long-term return on investing in academic science.”
Daraxonrasib — a promising new pancreatic cancer drug that nearly doubled survival times in a recent clinical trial — is a prominent example of how breakthroughs found in university laboratories help lay the foundation for life-changing collaborations between university researchers and biotech companies.
With research specialties spanning chemical biology, synthesis and catalysis, Frederich is available for interviews on the role of universities in developing cancer-treating drugs. For more information, visit: fla.st/EEJ88RS3.

🥇 Big win for FSU collegiate tech entrepreneurship — Kimberley Christopher with Radical Solutions took FIRST place at the 2026 @flventure Forum's Statewide Collegiate Start-up Competition!
As an alum of our inaugural FSU/FAMU NSF I-Corps Regional cohort, Kimberley represented @FloridaState to showcase the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit emerging from Tallahassee. Kimberley was sponsored in the competition by @JimMoranCollege.
And the momentum didn’t stop there! E&P Technologies, founded by FSU alum Caroline Sorrick, won the grand prize at the Early Stage Capital Pitch Competition!
Two major pitch competitions. Two wins by women engineers out of FSU. A strong signal of the technical talent emerging from Tallahassee. Go Noles!

Congratulations to Mike Shatruk, who is one of seven @FloridaState faculty members elected to the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida this year!
Shatruk is a professor in @ChemistryFsu specializing in solid-state and molecular magnetism and the discovery of new quantum materials. As the founding director of @QuantumFSU, Shatruk works at the boundary between materials chemistry and physics to uncover correlations between crystal structure and magnetic properties of quantum materials.
