Talk opportunities available for graduate students or post docs at the upcoming Cytoskeletal Motors GRS. I’m looking for individuals that work on cytoskeletal motors in the context of disease but all are welcome! Retweet this far and wide! Sign up at grc.org/cytoskeletal-m…

Excited to share the preprint of the work I have spent many sleepless nights on. 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks D. Alexander Stevens for inviting me to be a faculty mentor at the GRS motors. Great discussion with grad students and postdocs!

Our study of pathogenic mutations in KIF22, led by @alexfthompson, is out in eLife - the journal. This was a great collab with the Patrick Blackburn, Lian, Klee, and Babovic-Vuksanovic labs and includes data from UVM undergrads Sarah Stevens and Noah Arons CMB @ UVM UVM Larner Med UVM Cancer Center

Please consider applying! As a new faculty in the Dept of Mol Phys and Biophysics UVM Larner Med, I absolutely love the scientific environment here. Extremely supportive. It also doesn’t hurt that VT is such an awesome place to live!

Amazing work from Kavi Rangan and Samara Reck-Peterson! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share this wonderful collaborative story on how Lis1 helps relieve dynein auto-inhibition. Loved working with Andres Leschziner and the extraordinary women that are Janice Reimer, Aga Kendrick and Samara Reck-Peterson biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our paper using evolution to find an antiviral role and viral antagonism of NINL is now published in eLife! elifesciences.org/articles/81606 Fantastic collaboration with Samara Reck-Peterson, hopefully the first of many! Congrats to everyone, especially D. Alexander Stevens and Chris Beierschmitt!

Excited to share my first, first-author preprint on bioRxiv! Check out how we investigated the mechanism and function of specialized peroxisome (Woronin body) motility in Aspergillus 😁

My university is running a faculty search for a microbiome/cancer research. DM if you want to know more abt the position or beautiful Green Mountain State. Please RT. Ashutosh Mangalam Laurie Cox 🇺🇦 Dr. Xin M. Luo Pieter Dorrestein Knight Lab Dr. Celeste Allaband nature.com/naturecareers/…

1/ We’re excited to share our work on HIV-1 trafficking by dynein! Led by the amazing Somaye Badieyan in the lab with wonderful collaborations with Ed Campbell, Giessen Lab, Aiken Lab, Böcking Lab, and Morgan DeSantis. TL;DR HIV-1 hijacks the dynein motor protein for motility 🧵

Just wrapped our regional version of the Motile and Contractile Systems here University of Vermont featuring 17 labs across six institutions (McGill, Dartmouth, UVM, RPI, TJU, and UMich). Thank you to the Keynote speaker Puck Ohi ROhiLab@Michigan and thanks to Jason Stumpff for co-organizing!

Super proud of my graduate student Ally Morrissey @amorr_science for winning the UVM Larner Med Graduate Research Showcase! Congratulations.

Please consider applying, I love it here! The environment within my department is extremely supportive and collaborative.

Reminder that registrations and abstract submissions for the 2024 Plant & Microbial Cytoskeleton GRS and GRC are open! GRS co-chaired by me and Livia Songster, GRC by Sophie G Martin and Alex Paredez. Fantastic speaker line-up!🌱 🦠 🍄 grc.org/plant-and-micr…

Had a great time speaking in the Cytoskeleton and Intracellular Transport session at #fungal24 in Asilomar with a great lineup of speakers. Thanks to Xin Xiang and Rosa Mourino-Perez for the invitation!

Happy to share our lab's first preprint! We found that ER tubules hitchhike on Rab6-marked vesicles. Proud of grad student Ally Langley, lab tech @AbelingSarah and undergrad Erinn Wagner CMB @ UVM UVM Larner Med
