I don’t usually post my photography here but this is some pretty cool science from today!

We are very excited to be highlighted by Stella Hurtley this week in Science Magazine !

I am excited to share my first project in @jwadeharperlab for feedback. We used spatiotemporal proteomics (1) to describe how cells respond to NLRP3 agonists and (2) to profile the proximal proteome as NLRP3 trafficks to the site of inflammasome nucleation harperlab.pubpub.org/pub/nlrp3/
