Interested in cryoEM, but working with small proteins? Yeates Lab has the solution! Super cool new work building on many years of careful protein design - check out the preprint.

UC Merced has received a $12.5 million U.S. National Science Foundation grant to develop the Biology Integration Institute: INSITE—a research collaborative to expand the knowledge of symbioses and inform immediate and long-term conservation strategies in the face of climate change. ucm.edu/rkq7Px

Excited to be a part of this team and get to work on some cool new science!! 🌎 news.ucmerced.edu/news/2022/uc-m…

Thrilled to wake up this morning to the news of one of my chemistry heroes, Carolyn Bertozzi, winning the Nobel Prize! It's impossible to listen to one of her talks without getting excited and inspired by the science!!

Was an honor to help our collaborator Judith Klinman celebrate her 80th birthday last weekend in Berkeley, with Klinman Lab UCB members, colleagues, friends, and family!! Lots of great science highlights, and some sage advice too...

Interested in grad school? Come join a young, dynamic, and supportive environment at UC Merced's Chemistry and Biochemistry grad program. Two webinars at Nov. 17th (8 AM PST, 3 PM GMT)and Dec. 6th (11 AM PST). Register here: shorturl.at/nwy78 DMs open for questions!

👩🏾‍🔬⚗ Join us in two graduate recruitment seminars on Nov. 17th and Dec. 6th!! Faculty will give an overview of research in the department, general tips on grad school applications, and will answer all of your questions. International attendees welcome!! shorturl.at/nwy78

The Thompson Lab (Thompson Lab - UC Merced) studies protein structure and function using X-ray crystallography. They develop new methods with a collaborative approach to science. Projects include protein design, drug discovery, and temp sensing. They're hiring! tinyurl.com/3zuk952n

Look how many University of #California #NobelLaureates I was able to gather in just 2 minutes. A great public university and a national treasure Geroge Omally UCLA. #NobelWeek

Here we present a method that can scale and merge data from different types of diffraction experiments -- monochromatic, polychromatic, XFEL, and more! Give it a try! Check out the examples: github.com/rs-station/car…

What is mentorship to structural biologist Damo Lab at Fisk University? “A collaborative partnership with goals for both the mentee + the mentor.” 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾🫱🏼‍🫲🏾#NationalMentoringMonth

🙌 Thank you i dont go broke and the Thompson Lab for inviting Jorda Julien to present Pythia's use of #AI to design AB Initio Protein Binders at the CBC Seminars UC Merced. In case you missed it, here are some pictures of him in action!

Going to #bps2023? Would love to catch up between sessions or in one of the poster sessions. Here's what's coming from our lab: Feng Yu is presenting his newest preprint at the IDP I platform, Sunday 9:00 AM in Rm. 6C

Excellent news - Wenyan Guan (Patricia LiWang Lab UC Merced) won the poster competition at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting (2/19/2023) for chemokine research. We are very happy for her achievement. Congratulations! #research #academictwitter

I am so excited to share that I will be starting a lab in January 2024 as an Assistant Professor at OHSU School of Medicine in Portland! I am building my team, so if you are interested in cellular cryoelectron tomography, computational structural biology, and working in PDX, hit me up!

They were all so so good! #GradSlam

Professional update 1: As of July 1st I am now the graduate group chair for Chemistry & Chemical Biology UC Merced Chemistry - so if you have questions about graduate studies, how to apply etc. to our amazing campus please get in touch! 1/n

Check out our latest preprint with Roberto Chica Lab where we demonstrate the creation of highly active artificial enzymes by incorporating experimental crystallographic data into the design strategy...

This account will disappear soon... keep up with the lab at thompson-lab.bsky.social Hope to see you over there!
