Check out our latest paper by graduate student Holly Gildea which describes how glia can signal a pan organismal heat shock response independent of canonical neuronal circuits! Great work, Holly and team! Berkeley Neuroscience UC Berkeley MCB

Another preprint from our lab is up now. In this one, Phil Frankino, PhD (he/him) et al. found and characterized a role for SKN-1 as a surveillance factor. Turns out it can monitor and respond to genetic perturbation of amino acid catabolism pathways and alter multiple stress resistances!

And another preprint from Dillin Lab Phil Frankino, PhD (he/him) Holly Gildea showing that overexpression of hsf-1 in only the 4 glial cells of #Celegans is enough to induce a heat shock response and longevity 9/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hi Twitter! The Dillin lab is hiring a senior mouse technician to manage our mouse colony and assist with experiments in our studies of aging and stress response. Feel free to share this with anyone who you may think is interested! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

Excited to share our new paper! We found that aged mice exhibited an exaggerated UPRER signature - lipid and protein synthesis overall were more suppressed, however, canonical UPRER proteins were translated at higher rates in aged mice under ER stress. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…

Huge congratulations to Tayla Hunter on a well deserved Goldwater Scholarship! Tayla did a fantastic job in our lab this past summer working with Holly Gildea. Any MD/PhD program would be lucky to have her!

Congrats to MCB's Andy Dillin Dillin Lab on the 2022 Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences! 👏

Congratulations to @mellymetcalf for a successful Thesis Research Presentation! The Dr is in! #WomenInSTEM #PhDone

Hats off to Phil Frankino, PhD (he/him) for a SKN-tillating Thesis Research Presentation! He's officially Dr Phil now - congratulations! #PhDone

Sent in our order and excited to get strains from SunyBiotech🐛. Makes genome editing a breeze, like this cool endogenously-tagged mCherry strain!!

Congratulations to Holly Gildea for closing out the Thesis Research Presentations with an amazing talk! Dr Gildea, we are so proud! #micdrop #PhDone

Congratulations to Koning Shen, PhD for her outstanding post-doc award from the MCB department!!!

The Dillin lab welcomes graduate student Weijing Tang from the MCB program!

Dillin lab Gelato Happy Hour to welcome rotation student Mars Torres from the Helen Wills Neuroscience Graduate Program!

10 years working with this wonderful person! Congrats Larry on your 10 year anniversary in the Dillin lab!

Congratulations to Holly Gildea on acceptance of her thesis work in Science Advances! A preprint of her work describing how glial cells coordinate the heat shock response can be found on BioRxiv here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
