Great opportunity to work on frontier problems in RNA science in a young and supportive group led by Brittany S. Morgan (She/Her). Please consider applying, if you’re looking for some research experience. The position is for a Research Technician. jobs.smartrecruiters.com/UniversityOfNo…

Happy 4th of July from #DasGuptaLab! We’re lighting up the sky with RNA fireworks and G-quartet fireflies to celebrate our upcoming publication!

Thanks to ⁦Notre Dame Global⁩ for sponsoring my scicomm summer with ⁦arghya manna⁩ that ended with the launch of our Sci-Art exhibition and the release of two zines on the Origins of Life. Thanks to ⁦⁦Notre Dame Science⁩ for support. Read on. global.nd.edu/news-stories/n…

Workers of the #RNAWorld unite in a Szostak Lab reunion at the GRC on Nucleosides, Nucleotides, and Oligonucleotides. Current and past students and postdocs in one frame just before the rain.

New from the #DasGuptaLab Notre Dame Science! Dr. Annyesha Biswas built fluorescent sensors with RNA that glow green (or red) only in the presence of lead, with limits of detection <1 ppb. Sensors are easy-to-use and fast-acting. Device integration coming soon. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Overjoyed to share my love for RNA and the Origins of Life with the creators of tomorrow. When your science comics ignites the curiosity and creativity of young minds, you know you have succeeded as a science communicator. Upwards arghya manna!

Happy to expand my partnership with ClubSciWri

In some ways, your PreAward person is like your therapist. They have a list of all your failures, and are paid so you can delude yourself into thinking that you will succeed the next time. #newPI

#Guanidine was known since the 1870s to affect muscle function. Vertebrates have guanidine-sensing #riboswitch RNAs linked to genes relevant to muscle disorders, including some for Ca2+ signaling and others relevant to #ataxia symptoms. Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Honored to deliver the 'First Lecture' to first-year undergrads, ready to start their intellectual journey at University of Notre Dame. Thanks to Notre Dame Science for this unique opportunity.

Our latest paper on origins of peptide biosynthesis, Thioester-mediated RNA aminoacylation and peptidyl-RNA synthesis in water nature . Congratulations Jyoti Singh, Benji Thoma, Daniel, Max & Ken @UCL UCL Chemistry UCLmaps rdcu.be/eCJK1

The #DasGuptaLab celebrating the end of a productive summer.

Good times at the Origins Federation Conference at The University of Chicago. Great to be back at my alma mater to speak about research done in the #DasGuptaLab at Notre Dame Science right before my PhD advisor at a conference organized by my postdoc advisor.

The #DasGuptaLab postdoc - Dr. Annyesha Biswas was the College of Science Notre Dame Science postdoc (and 1 of 3 postdocs) interviewed by University of Notre Dame for National Postdoc Appreciation Week. graduateschool.nd.edu/news/postdoc-a… Annyesha has contributed immensely to our lab almost since its inception.

Thanks to Notre Dame Science for featuring the #DasGuptaLab in the second edition of their magazine, Catalyst. science.nd.edu/news-and-media… Some actual discoveries to drop soon.

More laurels for the #DasGuptaLab. Congrats Casey for winning a best poster award at Midwest Enzyme Chemistry Conference!

At 36 years old - Leonard Cohen wrote ‘Songs of Love and Hate’.

Celebrating the #DasGuptaLab's (and @NDScience's) newest PhD candidate, Natalie Kotlin! Natalie will study how catalytic RNAs evolve inside prebiotic goo aka coacervates.
