I'll piggy back on this post to congratulate Professor Hashim Al-Hashimi, who was recently awarded the Guenther Laukien Prize. Hashim is a heavy user of NYSBC's NMR facilities and a great colleague. Congrats, Hashim! Columbia Medicine New York Structural Biology Center

I’m excited to share our new pre-print from fearless Adriana Santiago-Ruiz, with co-authors @shugelier, Charlie Bond, and our amazing collaborator Eddie Lee examining Tau hyperphosphorylation in human postmortem brain tissue using DNA-PAINT imaging:biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Celebrities passing by the lab…and a great talk by Ardem to take our minds off difficult times in academia

Functional sensory circuits built from neurons of two species: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Mice smelling through rat olfactory neurons! Wild and awesome experiment.

To understand the true relationship between 3D genome structure and gene expression, we measured both from the same cell with unparalleled sensitivity. Our LiMCA bioRxiv is now published in Nature Methods (with News & Views by dear LomvardasLab): nature.com/articles/s4159…

This is such an important technical development for the field of nuclear architecture and such an important conceptual contribution to the understanding of olfactory receptor choice. Congrats Honggui!

Are you interested in using developmental biology approaches to understand circuit structure, function, and behavior? Are you are a systems neuroscientist who is 'development curious?' Please apply!

Amazing!!!

Previously, we and others had found that in interphase the human genome is surprisingly unknotted/unentangled. Now we report that in mitosis chromosomes are self-entangled!
