Thank you Stanford Bioengineering and BoWangLab for hosting a wonderful visit yesterday! Such a pleasure meeting & catching up with everyone.

Reuniting with mentees is one of the best parts of this job! Thrilled to see Stacey Lee and gokul kannan thriving on the Farm 🌲

Excited to co-chair the 2024 Gordon Research Conferences on Signal Transduction by Engineered Extracellular Matrices with Shelly Peyton! Full program now posted. July 21-26 at SNHU, apps due June 23 grc.org/signal-transdu…

Excited to see this out! Led by ChemE PhD student Erika Ding. More soon... molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

Very exciting news for UC Berkeley! Rich Lyons has been a pioneer in innovation and entrepreneurship for decades, a model leader and citizen on our campus, and a wonderful partner to QB3-Berkeley. Can't wait!

Pleased to share this new paper in Biomaterials Advances! In collab w Dave Schaffer's lab UC Berkeley we use optogenetics to dynamically control stem cell fate in 3D matrices. Led by former PD JieungBaek, now faculty 이화여자대학교. Free for 50d here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1iukS9sVlis1…

Oops I did it again 🤭

Honored beyond words to have our 2009 Cancer Research study featured in this amazing Cancer Research Landmarks piece by Anna Yui and Madeleine Oudin! Huge thanks to the authors for the thoughtful discussion of our work and that of so many others in the field. 🙏 aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti…

Congratulations to Berkeley Bioengineer PhD student Dana Wilkins on receiving an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!! 🎉👏QB3-Berkeley

A belated welcome to new postdoc Dr. Julio Bernal-Chanchavac! Julio did his PhD with Prof. Nick Stephanopoulos on protein design Arizona State University Arizona State UniversityBiodesign and is working jointly between our lab and Dave Schaffer's lab. Excited!

*Calling all University of California Bioengineers*

Thanks Addgene for this lovely Blue Flame Award for 100+ requests of one of our deposits! We've benefited greatly and are delighted to give back. Credit to PhD alum Dr. Joanna MacKay: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The lab recently bid farewell to postdoc Junghwa Cha Junghwacha, who will be moving across the bay to start a staff position with Rohit Bose UC San Francisco. Read about her work on collagen VI and GBM invasion below biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you and best wishes Junghwa!!

Thank you NCI PhysicalSciences for the support! Great work & leadership by postdoc Junghwacha, and pleasure as always to team with Manish Aghi, MD PhD

Nice study funded by an R01 to my lab and Kumar Lab, UC Berkeley from #CanerTEC NCI PhysicalSciences in which we used multi-omics to identify targetable transsufuration alterations in invasive GBM cells. Congrats to lead authors Joseph Garcia& Saket Jain from my lab & Erin Akins from Kumar lab
