Congratulations Amy Hammerquist (now Dr.) and Wilber Escorcia (now Assistant Professor) on another great publication on the RNA pol III regulator Maf1. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

It's official! Dr. Ryo Higuchi-Sanabria (@SanabriaLab) will join USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology as the newest tenure-track assistant professor. Congratulations!

Welcome to the Trojan Family @SanabriaLab. We can’t wait to see you on campus in the fall.

I cannot believe I just read a grant review criticising that the PI only has one publication from 2020. What is wrong with people?! Funding bodies, why are you allowing this as a comment? I have absolutely no hope for the effects of the pandemic ever being considered fairly 😔

USC researchers conducted first-ever study of Abl1 gene’s role in neural stem cell biology and the implications for cognitive decline. gero.usc.edu/2021/04/12/usc…

Excited to share our latest work. We present NanoSeq, a new duplex sequencing method with <5 errors per billion sites in single DNA molecules. A leap in our ability to study mutation in any tissue. 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158…

With virtual hooding ceremonies I get to live out my dream of wearing shorts and flip flops with my PhD costume... I mean regalia... thanks COVID!
