Congrats to Taia Sean Wu Gestwicki Lab, winner of the UC San Francisco Chancellor Award for Public Service. Taia Wu decided to pursue a PhD in science after seeing the beauty of a protein structure at age 22. Now she works to give homeless youth the same opportunity.tinyurl.com/mr35aedu

That moment when Kelly Monét Montgomery’s #PPGRetreat poster is so good you have to stop & check it out.

Absolutely thrilled to have this work published with RSC! Thank you again to my mentor @BalynZaro and co-authors Sara, Kate, and José Montaño Check out my pinned tweet for a more detailed thread!

Excited to co-direct the Tau Center Without Walls Tau Center Without Walls (CWOW) with Alison Goate Friedman Brain Institute and Geschwind Lab @ UCLA, working with awesome colleagues Danielle Swaney Lea T. Grinberg, M.D, Ph.D Timothy S Chang Kat Bowles and wonderful trainees!

Check out our latest review article on non-canonical Hsp70 interactions—out now in Cell Stress & Chaperones! With the recent explosion of studies mentioning them, @oletaknowsstuff & Jason thought this timely. We hope it inspires new important research! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Happy to share the bioRxiv for my first bit of work w/ Alice Ting. Together with Heegwang Roh, we built a simple and versatile single-component luminescent biosensor for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I concur. I confirm that new PIs will do everything to make their mentees successful! I contend that other hashtags are also cool. I also confess that I’m a new PI College of Chemistry and we are recruiting thezlab.org

…and another 1! 2nd paper in 1 wk Ian Ferguson. Collabo w @gestwickilab CellChemicalBiology: allosteric HSP70 inhibitors overcome proteasome inhibitor resistance in #myeloma #mssm. #proteomics finds surprising mechanism: block HSPA9 & destabilize mitoribosome! cell.com/cell-chemical-…

Chaperones are needed for so many processes! How do you make process-specific or disease-specific chaperone inhibitors that are not generally toxic? A great collaboration with Gestwicki Lab shows the way...cell.com/cell-chemical-…

It was fun to be a part of this exciting work!

Another great collaboration out today!

Jumping around the mutation alphabet to hit cancer! Our new work covalent targeting of KRAS G12S is online: nature.com/articles/s4158… Interested in more? The Zhang lab (thezlab.org) at UC Berkeley is recruiting:)

As part of the #QBIChemBio22 Symposium today, Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate, co-inventor of #CRISPR-Cas9 & Professor at UC San Francisco/UC Berkeley will participate in a Twitter Space hosted by Jason Gestwicki. Tune in at 1:30 PT to hear about her work! qbi.ucsf.edu/twitter-space-…

Huge congratulations to @CarolynBertozzi !!! What a well deserved honor.

Congratulations to our amazing postdoc Emma Carroll on winning a poster award at the Protein Folding Dynamics Gordon Research Conference!!! It’s a well-earned testament to her brilliance & creativity!

We’re thrilled to have Nick joining us!

First woman to graduate from MIT was a chemist. She applied chemistry to issues like nutrition - a pioneer ahead of her time in many different ways #WomenInSTEM

Interested in learning how dyes might help in characterizing protein activity? We're excited to share the development of a protein-adaptive DSF platform (paDSF), a dye-based method used to interrogate stability, dynamics, and ligand binding! go.nature.com/4ajNRNp

Excited to share the work done by Taia Wu and Zach Gale-Day on DSFWorld: an online open-source software that streamlines the planning and analysis of DSF experiments! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pr…

Proud to share this publication by our postdoc, Shweta Devi! It offers new insights into the interaction capabilities of the TPR domain to EEVD-like motifs in nonchaperone proteins. jbc.org/article/S0021-…
