Dr. Dr. Cassandra Hayne (Univ. Chicago) speaks at our monthly seminar on 4/9, 2024. The title is "Recent Breakthroughs in tRNA Splicing Using Cryo-EM and Biochemistry." rna.osu.edu/events/april-9…

The Center for Motor Neuron Disease (CMND) Annual Symposium is coming up this Friday, April 12! The event features renowned speakers, short talks, and poster sessions by CMND faculty and trainees. Check out the schedule and join us: neuroscience.uchicago.edu/cmnd-annual-sy… #MotorNeuronDisease

Our latest publication~~ We previously showed differential organization of nuclear speckle components. Now we demonstrate differential organization of different sequence regions of speckle-localized transcripts with super-res imaging! cell.com/iscience/fullt…

While we love our summers in Chicago, we're already looking forward to the fall and next year's South Side Science Festival. Save the date for October 5th, where we once again bring together science fans of all ages for hands-on activities and fun experiments.

🚨 Call for workshop proposals! 🚨 We're inviting regular, industry, or early-career ASBMB members to lead workshops at the 2025 ASBMB Annual Meeting in Chicago! 🏙️ 🗓️ Deadline: S9/17 📚 Topics: Scientific skills, career development, DEI & more! annualmeeting.asbmb.org/program/worksh… #ASBMB2025

US citizens or permanent residents from an under-represented group! You can contact any NIH-funded researcher you admire & suggest applying for this supplement to join their lab! High school thru postdoc/faculty. Many, like me, are happy to host! Pls RT grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/p…

This was a truly fantastic meeting and it’s no surprise how quickly it filled up. I can’t wait for Hayne Lab to go in 2026!

Hey yall… Super late, but always reppin’ #BlackInNeuro I’m Lillian, an Asst. Prof. at UAB in the Dept. of Psychiatry, where my lab studies biological sex/hormone-specific effects of drugs of abuse and medications on neural circuit mechanisms underlying reward learning #BINW24

UChicagoCancerCenter @NCICCHE I also met with leaders, faculty, and trainees at UChicagoCancerCenter and The University of Chicago to learn about the important research and care they provide in Chicago. Many thanks to Senator Dick Durbin for joining us and for his continued leadership in support of #CancerResearch!

Our manuscript on a translation-regulating T-box riboswitch is now published: rdcu.be/dPRLu. Thanks to the editor and reviewers for the super smooth review process~~

The The RNA Society's RNA Salon program supports recurring local RNA science-based activities throughout the world. We are now inviting applications for RNA Salons in 2024/25! Applications must be submitted by August 31, 2024. For more details: rnasociety.org/salons @Lexogen

South Side Science Festival coming soon!

If you’re interested in applying for graduate school and want help revising your application, this workshop is for you! Join students and faculty from the University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division on October 23rd from 4:30-6:30 PM CST over Zoom.

excited to announce the release of this preprint “Coordinate post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs and RNA binding proteins is critical for early embryonic cell fate decisions” on bioRxiv! 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share this for the second time at the #SouthsideScienceFestival tomorrow.

We had fun with these models at the South Side Science Festival today. So many smart kids in Chicago!

New paper in Science Advances: We've uncovered the nuclear speckle transcriptome, revealing gene groups with distinct speckle localization properties and that speckles boost splicing for localized transcripts. Thanks to all co-authors! Oded Regev science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Looking for postdoc candidate, who is interested in RNA-protein interactions, RNA localization and gene regulation. Candidates with backgrounds in biophysics (particularly single-molecule imaging), chemical biology and cell biology are all welcome to apply! Please help retweet 🙏
