Online Now: Basic helix-loop-helix pioneer factors interact with the histone octamer to invade nucleosomes and generate nucleosome-depleted regions dlvr.it/SlgWNL

A research article featuring two CEGR labs (Bai Lab PSU and the Tan lab) became available online in Molecular Cell today! Check it out!

An awesome collaboration has finally been published in Molecular Cell where we dissected pioneering capabilities of a transcription factor. I contributed with #cryoEM studies.

Congratulations to the newly promoted professors ⁦Penn State BMB⁩ ⁦Santhosh Girirajan⁩ and ⁦Bai Lab PSU⁩

Congratulations to our own Dr. Lu Bai (Bai Lab PSU) for being promoted to Full Professor, and to Dr. Santhosh Girirajan (Santhosh Girirajan) for being named the new interim BMB department head! We had a lovely gathering this afternoon to celebrate! 🎉🍾🍰

Check out our latest review about the many ways of using synthetic DNA libraries to study gene regulation! This review was led by grad student @hekleinschmidt tinyurl.com/2s3hfzv6

Congrats to one of our NIH-funded eukaryotic gene regulation trainees Hannah Boyd (from the lab of Janine Kwapis (she/her)) on publishing a review article about her work!

Today is the day! Check-in is now open until 6:45 P.M. in Heritage Hall of the HUB. We can’t wait to see you there! Use #PennStateChromatin23 throughout the symposium to share your experiences 🧬👩🏻‍🔬🧫.

Less than 15 minutes until go-time! Thank you to everyone for braving the stormy weather to get here in time for our keynote address and welcome reception. We are looking forward to hearing from Geeta Narlikar for our Robert T. Simpson Plenary Lecture soon! #PennStateChromatin23

“We Are” happy to be back together at Penn State for the first time since 2019! Thank you to Geeta Narlikar for an incredible start to our summer symposium. Who did you mingle with at our welcome reception? Let us know! Pictures highly encouraged 🥳 #PennStateChromatin23

After a morning loaded with exciting research talks, attendees enjoyed a lovely luncheon meeting our speakers and an extremely competitive round of movie trivia. Congrats Table 25 on your win! #PennStateChromatin23

Check out this preprint showcasing a collaborative project between three CEGR labs (Bai Lab PSU, Shaun Mahony, and Tan lab) studying the sequence features dictating the binding specificity of the FOXA1 pioneer factor in human cancer cells.
