explaining your life to that friend you talk to once every three months

🥳Congrats to undergraduate researcher Emil Dominguez (Keriann Backus group)! Physical Sciences UCLA

Read the Burslem Lab's recent publication in RSC Chem Biol here! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38576722/

Big congratulations to José Castellón Jose Castellon on his first first-author pub, now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. !! He identified an characterizes a unique non-catalytic cysteine in caspase-2 that is selectively liganded in the monomeric zymogen proteoform. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

I think I have netflix's next hit show😅

Check out the new bioRxiv from GB lab Penn Medicine describing developed an approach for intracellular protein editing by combining split inteins, endogenous tagging and genetic code expansion to do just that!

Congratulations to all my fellow 2024 Gilliam Fellows! It is an honor to be apart of this experience with you all 💙💙💙💙

Thank you so very much to my department for this acknowledgment! I truly appreciate your support 💙💙💙

Congratulations Keri🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Extremely well deserved🍾

Always a highlight of the #PennSUIP & #PennPREP experience! Excited to spend the night Philadelphia Phillies!

If you're interested in protein degradation and acetylation, check out our preprint here! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… When PRMT1 gets acetylated it results in recruitment of an E3 ligase and subsequent ubiquitination/degradation which we confirmed by in cell genetic code expansion!

They say good things come in threes so here's out third preprint of the month! In collaboration with the Witze lab in Univ. of Pennsylvania Department of Cancer Biology, we developed the first selective small molecule inhibitors of a palmitoyl transferase! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

⭐️ Big news! HHMI is investing $300+ million in 26 new #HHMIInvestigators from 19 US institutions. These top scientists will drive groundbreaking research in diverse fields, from neuroscience to immunology to structural biology & beyond. Welcome to HHMI! hhmi.news/4df2eVs

Our lab’s first @chemcomm! We find that amidine-capped cysteine residues can be cleaved by trypsin to improve detection of tough-to-ID cys (e.g. resis found in very long sequences lacking K/R). Congrats to first author Samuel Ofori and team! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The IDEAL Research Program at UPenn is hosting a virtual seminar series to help you prepare to apply to for PhD programs in Biomedical Sciences. Register by October 4th, link below! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

What an experience, blessing, & opportunity! So honored to be a part of the 2024 HHMI Gilliam Fellow Cohort and standing alongside other fellows representing the University of Pennsylvania! This meeting was truly sensational💚

Congratulations to Dr Jenna Beyer!! The newest PhD from BBCB Graduate Group and the first PhD from the lab!

Last week, 147 HHMI #GilliamFellows gathered at HHMI’s HQ for science sharing, professional development, and community building. They engaged in vibrant discussions on science communication and leadership. We’re excited to see how their work shapes the future!
