I am excited to share that I will be joining the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at SLU-SOM Biochemistry & Molecular Biology SLU Medicine as an Assistant Professor this fall. My lab will study how DNA binding proteins function to manage DNA during replication and repair.

My sister from another mister couldn’t make us prouder.

Congratulations Megan! Excited to hear more- congratulations!

Very excited to share our new research in collaboration with Dr. Lindsay Kalan 🇨🇦 lab in mBio !

Not only the Science is TOP at the #EMBOdnaDamage in #Lonavala but venue is an oasis and food is incredible !!! And one person made it all possible... Thank you Arnab Ray Chaudhuri Lab 🙏🙏🙏

Mark your calendar! We are pleased to announce that the Toronto DNA Replication and Repair Symposium will return on April 19th, 2024 at University of Toronto, with Dr. David Pellman as our keynote speaker. Registration will be free.
Details about abstract submission coming soon!

I have three more spots for a Methods-style manuscript describing the use of genetic code expansion/non-canonical amino acids. Applications of the technology to study your protein of interest are particularly welcome. I am trying to wrap this up by December. Rapid review.......
