Thrilled to share that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Pennsylvania UPenn Physiology Penn Medicine in January 2025!

Travel is done for this month! 🤩
Recharging with one of my fav humans and my fur-babies 🥰
Beautiful hike!
Off to another crazy week tomorrow! 🤩

Undergrads bring a wonderful energy to labs. They are excited to do research and are not limited by knowledge of what and what isn’t possible. I have 5 undergrads right now and am grateful for all that hey contribute 😀

Denver Airport 🥶🥶🥶
I had so much fun in Davis but icy planes are no fun 😬
Wish me luck that we can take off soon!

On my way to UC Davis & Sacramento to give a talk at the Biophysics grad student seminar 🤩🤩🤩 Flight was so early but I can’t wait to the the fabulous trio María Maldonado Alice Accorsi & Jennifer Cash 🥰
I am sooo excited!!!!

Watch out for this rockstar!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Very exciting!!!

Traveling so so much right now & just came back from an amazing time at CU Anschutz Denver where I was invited as a keynote for the Pharmacy grad student symposium! 🤩
Some quality time now with my kid making Italian Panzerotti from scratch 🤩 Yummieee!!! Off to Davis next week!

Excited to share our latest work in Cell on how bluetongue virus packages its RNA & assembles its capsid inside host cells! Using #cryoET & #cryoEM , we've visualized this process with 11 structures. Great collab w Tamir Gonen 🎗️ The Zhou Lab 🦠🔬

On my way to my favorite city SEATTLE to give a talk at UW Pharmacy tomorrow meeting old and new science friends! 🤩🤩🤩 I am so excited!!! Talking about #P450 nonstop for 2 days!!!!

Excited to share our new preprint where we uncovered how inhibitory interneurons in the retina process color information in their dendrites.

New INK 😍😍😍😍😍
That was about time! And…. This is what a scientist looks like!

🚨Cannot miss today's HHMI NEWS Gilliam sponsored seminar featuring Dr. Simone Brixius-Anderko (she/her) 🔬🧫💊 who will be discussing P450s and her non-conventional journey into academia! A must see and hear! Meyerhoff 120 UMBC UMBCChemistry 12 pm - 1 pm. Come one, come all!!🚨

Woot-woot!!! So thrilled the Brixius lab debut publication was selected as Editor’s Choice! 🤩🤩🤩
The result of having a GREAT team and collaborators! 🤗
Check it out! ❤️

I can't let this go. I get very annoyed when established researchers that we ask for support in DEI efforts tell me to make sure I focus on research. That research is the most important thing. This common comment tells me multiple things. A thread (1/9)

Oh my!!! Very first beamtime and we could collect and process data for a brand new #P450 enzyme!!! 🤩🤩🤩 2.4 Å resolution?! WHAT??? That was unexpected!

So proud of our grad student Huiting to be highlighted as “Trainee of the Month” for her work on CYP4F11 in lung cancer which was published in Drug Metabolism and Disposition 🎉🎉🎉
This is what makes this job so great!!! 🤩🤩🤩

First Brixius lab beam time at SSRL is about to start!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Can’t wait to shoot our ruby crystals!!!
Wish us excellent diffraction and adrenaline jumps! 🎉
