Holguin-Cruz et al. integrate transcriptomics and structural information from molecular dynamics simulations to carry out a systematic analysis of the association between genetic alterations in cancers and protein allosteric switches. UBC Biochemistry & Molecular Biology cell.com/cell-systems/a…

A postdoc position is available in our lab to study how ion channels communicate with one another. Cryo-EM, electrophysiology, protein biophysics. A great opportunity for structural biologists to learn electrophysiology methods or vice versa.
