The fundamental lesson of Delta isn’t the need for boosters, it’s the need for a multilayered approach not relying only on vaccines.

A structural model of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as the virus fuses with host human cells reveals an opportunity to disrupt dynamics and halt transmission elifesciences.org/articles/70362…

DNA twisting and the associated torque can mediate interaction between DNA-bound proteins that are far apart in 3D space. This work highlights DNA twist-mediated coupling between RNA polymerases.

Voy a hacer una sesión informativa acerca del GCURS (gcurs.rice.edu) y estudios de posgrado en Rice University el 3 de junio en la UCR. Es abierto al público, quedan cordialmente invitados. Les agradecería si lo comparten para hacerlo llegar a la gente interesada💗

Check out our chapter on “Harnessing CRISPR-Cas9 for Epigenetic Engineering” written by Isaac Hilton and I! 🧬

Rice University Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies wrote a spotlight article about me and my grad school experience. Check it out here: graduate.rice.edu/news/current-n… Very happy to be part of this community 🫶🏽 feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Excellent experience for undergrads to present their research and network! Travel awards are available. Highly recommend this experience to any undergraduate researcher!

Calling all potential grad students! Join us for our Ph.D. Possibilities Workshop on Aug. 1: interact with current students & faculty, get tips & tricks for grad applications & more. Nothing to lose, only knowledge to gain! Register: bit.ly/3WvsJOE #gradschoolapps #phd

Don't wait 'til it's too late! 👀 GCURS applications are closing soon, so don't miss out on this amazing opportunity. 🤩 #GCURS #ApplyNow 🫶
