Today's Eichhorn and Yesselman lab group meeting was a cultural feast! Our Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 colleagues shared their vibrant cultural heritage, delicious food, enchanting music et al. We’re all Sri Lankan today! ~ “Vasanavan” or Cheers

Excited to welcome Richard Richard Buksch and Tharuki Malage as members of the Eichhorn Lab! Following a successful fall rotation project, Richard and Tharuki have decided to stay with us to explore 7SK snRNP assembly, and MTR1 Ribozyme activity. Welcome Rich and Tharuki. 🎉🧬🔬

Please join me in welcoming our new Research Assistant, Bold Boldbayar, to the Eichhorn Lab. Bold holds a BA in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry from Wesleyan University in Connecticut and has previously conducted undergraduate research with Dr. Ishita Mukerji. Welcome, Bold!

Very exciting to share that we got a new addition to the Eichhorn Lab, Iceman ❄️. A graduate of the University of -20C freezer and all set to unravel the mysteries of RNA structure. 🧬🔬😂😂.

Happy to share our latest work published in Nucleic Acids Res led by Momodou with fantastic collaboration with Joseph Yesselman on RNA structural dynamics using combined NMR and chemical mapping! tinyurl.com/yc5pmfve

Congratulations to all 4 UG researchers in our group who were named to the Dean's List last term! #ProudPI news.unl.edu/newsrooms/toda…

Excited to announce a new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We developed a high-throughput method to measure the thermostability of RNA tertiary contacts using DMS chemical mapping and Mg2+ titrations. We believe this method is highly generalizable to many different systems. 1/

Congratulations ERNEST SELASIE, well deserved!! 🎉🎊🎉

Sad to bid farewell to our talented Undergraduate researcher, Jennie, as she embarks on her journey to Graduate school at University of Virginia. You'll be missed, Jennie! 🎓 #GoodLuck #GradSchoolBound

Happy Birthday, Dr. Catherine Eichhorn! 🎉 🎂 Your guidance and leadership inspire us every day. Cheers to another year of science 🧬 . Have an amazing day!

Thanks Dr. Catherine Eichhorn for organizing. It was fun to learn about the amazing research going on in the lab outside of weekly group meetings.

My students are making introduction videos for common lab tasks for when new students join. Here is a draft of their first video on casting and running a gel: youtube.com/watch?v=Ba5jan…. I would love people's comments and suggestions

Excited for #ACSFall2024. Be sure to check out poster presentation by Eichhorn Lab members Owusu Shilla and Claire Novak. #ACSDBC @ACS_DivBioChem

Congratulations Owusu Shilla for winning #ACSDBC travel award.

This past summer, we had the pleasure of hosting two incoming freshmen, Noor Hammad and Eh Ta Taw, from the UNL STEM power program. Congratulations to both on completing the program, and best of luck in your degree pursuits!

I am really excited to be giving a talk at the University of Michigan, where I received my PhD.

I had the opprtunity to participate in '2024 ASBMB Transcriptional Regulation by Chromatin and RNA Polymerase' conference which was held in Alexandria, Virginia. #ASBMB

Eichhorn Lab will be at the ACS Midwest Regional Meeting. Be sure to check out these posters and talks.

🧬Excited to share our new preprint! DMS chemical mapping, a key technique for studying RNA structure. It is assumed that low DMS reactivity=WC, high=non-WC. However, analyzing 7,500 RNA structures containing known 3D structures reveals it's not simple. doi.org/10.1101/2024.1…
