“My wish is that this will provide a positive message to the young girls who would like to follow the path of science, and to show them that women in science can also have an impact through the research that they are performing.” - 2020 Chemistry Laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier.

It’s #ElectionDay in the US. If you haven’t already, remember to VOTE.

Bugg & colleagues demonstrate that aligned #collagen in #MyocardialInfarction induces #p38, #YAP, & #TEAD interactions & these signals are required for #cardiac #fibroblast to #myofibroblast transitions. ow.ly/IUOd30rgY7s @rossbreth Kelly Stevens Jen Davis

Our updated manuscript on the role of the CTCF N-terminus in 3D genome folding is out today in Nature Communications 📰nature.com/articles/s4146… Initial findings summarized here 👉x.com/ElphegeNoraLab… For our new observations scroll down 👇

Excited to see this published! Congrats Elphege Nora Lab at UCSF and Benoit Bruneau, and thank you both for the training! 👩‍🔬

Even though 2020 has been beyond rough this lab has been there through it all! You are all amazing and I am so glad we all got to virtually get together! Jen Davis F Moussavi-Harami, MD and the rest of the crew! ❤️

Thrilled about our new review on the regulation of cardiac fibroblast cell state just published in Cell Signaling. So proud of Bella Reichardt, Kalen Robeson, and Michael Regnier for a great team effort! Read it here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cHZf_KRjy3W…

Happy new year! Especially to those who decided not to travel this time and are spending the holiday alone 🎉 See y’all in 2021!

Being restricted from lab was a good reason to finally get this written! Check out our latest preprint on how MBNL1 regulates cardiac fibroblast cell state! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… So excited about our new study on fibroblast plasticity and its role in cardiac repair in Cell Stem Cell It was a spectacular team effort by Darrian Bugg, PhD, Logan Bailey, Bella Reichardt ,Kalen Robeson, & Cole DeForest!

Come check out my poster next week at BioPhys in SF! Still lots of work to go, but I'm excited to have made some progress!

BioEngage is looking forward to hosting 9 in-person events (with refreshments!) this Spring Quarter. Please join us in learning more about current technologies and opportunities in the biotechnology and medical device industries. We hope to see you there!

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on ScienceInsider.

Call for companies! Come join us at our Fall mixer on October 26th! Attending a BioEngage mixer is a great opportunity to connect with talented students of all academic levels. Previous mixers have attracted over 150 students. Contact [email protected] for more information!

Over 7 years in the making, our scientists just debuted a new way to measure cell organization. Out today in nature, our cell science team outlines a framework for measuring cell-to-cell variability, including intracellular organization. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to have had a small contribution to this amazing and rigorous study in Circulation, entirely led by my incredible labmate Logan Bailey in Jen Davis lab! To learn more about how MBNL1 regulates mature vs developmental cell states during cardiac regeneration, check it out 👇

Happy to have written this commentary on the excellent study by the Kehat lab!
