Katsuhiko Murakami, Ph.D., and Gene-Wei Li, Ph.D., are delving into the intricate genetics of cyanobacteria, a diverse group of microorganisms that play a crucial role in supporting healthy ecosystems—from ocean depths to desert landscapes.

Microbiology teaching faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor level is now open in the BMB Department at Penn State: psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic/j…

.Dr. Cheryl Keller @cherylkeller.bsky.social's Genomics Research Incubator is an amazing and unique resource in the Center for Eukaryotic Gene Regulation at Huck Institutes Penn State. Want to perform regulatory genomics assays? Or are you developing a new sequencing assay? Cheryl is ready to assist.

Preprint now available: we investigated the binding specificity of pioneer factor FoxA1 by developing a high throughput synthetic approach ChIP-ISO. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to the Bai lab's newest PhD! James passed his defense on Friday and is off to the NIH as a biologist!

Excited to share my postdoctoral work is now online Cell thanks to all the coauthors that contributed to this work!

Check out our latest work in eLife - the journal! This work, led by graduate student James (graduating Sunday) uses a range of techniques, including a new methylation-based method to dissect gene cluster in haploid yeast. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Bai lab PhD students James (Penn State BMB) and Cheng (Huck Institutes MCIBS) graduated yesterday! James has started as a biologist at National Cancer Institute and Cheng is starting as a postdoc with Jef Boeke!

Check out our latest paper in Nature Communications where we develop a methylation-based sequencing assay to capture chromosomal interactions with a viewpoint nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congratulations to the Bai lab's newest PhD Yi Li of Penn State BMB! Yi's main thesis project was published today!

Check out our new Pioneer Factor review! We present both sides of the debate about whether pioneer factors have unique properties among TFs tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Very proud of this highly collaborative paper with the Shaun Mahony Remo Rohs and Gordân labs in which we explore how ApiAP2 transcription factors with similar DNA binding specificities define their target genes, a ubiquitous challenge in all cells! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…?

We are hiring! The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Penn State ⁦Penn State BMB⁩ invites applicants for multiple tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in the broad areas of genetics, cell and developmental biology! Check us out! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Acad…

Exciting news! 🎉 Michael Poirier and Rosana Collepardo have curated an amazing Multiscale Genome Organisation program for the 2025 BPS Meeting! Featuring top speakers like Serena Sanulli, Bai Lab PSU, Robert McGinty, Panchenko lab, Shoji Takada, and Marcus Woodworth from @Melike_Lak. Don’t miss it! 🚀✨ #BPS2025

Our meeting on transcriptional regulation is underway! Next up: a session on #chromatin, genome architecture and remodelers. asbmb.org/meetings-event… #RNA #ASBMB

The entire Bai lab attended ASBMB Transcriptional Regulation. We were so excited to present posters and to hear Lucy give a talk!
