So proud to share this moment with Dr. Lihui Bai and Dr. Amy Chau Amy Chau. Thank you for all the great work you did Maillard Lab in Georgetown Chemistry. It is the work of our wonderful students that keep research labs running!

Happy to share our last single molecule PKA work published Journal of Biological Chemistry. Congrats Amy Chau, Katie, Dominic, Lihui and @good_lydia. COVID-19 removed us from the lab for months but we took action and did computational work included here with experiments! doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.…

Home from awesome GRCs on #MembraneTransport and #MembraneProteinFolding and making plans for EBSA #Biophysics in Stockholm. Hoping to see some smiling faces in the audience. 😊 #WomenInSTEM

A mind-blowing paper has come out today in nature In 2016, JC Venter Institute scientists trimmed a bacterial genome to its barest minimum required for life to synthesize what they called a "minimal genome" (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Today, a group of scientists from

Dr. Vishva Dixit (Vishva Dixit) will be joining us in Cape Town, South Africa as a keynote speaker for #IUIS2023! He will be discussing his research into various mechanisms of cell death and associated immunology. Learn more & register at iuis2023.org! #RoadtoCapeTown

Thanks to Jane Dyson, Maillard Lab, and David Rueda, as well as Colin Kinz-Thompson and all the other contributing speakers for an AMAZING Proteins in Motion session on Day 3 of #PS37!

Congrats to Esther Braselmann on her NIH research grant "Illuminating multiplexed RNA dynamics to interrogate splicing in health and disease.” A $1.85M award for her research.

Congratulations to Dr. Ronit Ilouz from our Faculty for winning a research grant from the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF). The laboratory led by Dr. Ronit Ilouz investigates mechanisms for the formation of a unique inherited neurodegenerative disease, and gave it

Starting the semester strong with a hike with my graduate students at Great Falls, VA! It doesn't hurt, also, that BSF (USIsraelBSF) is funding our project on PKA RIbeta in collaboration with the Ilouz lab Ronit Ilouz

Many thanks to Prof. Rodrigo Maillard Maillard Lab Georgetown Chemistry for a great seminar on using single molecule methods to study allostery in protein kinases at our seminar series.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

New paper alert! We used optical tweezers to resolve heterogenous folding/unfolding pathways of repeat expanded huntingtin mRNA, revealing how hairpin slippage can seed inter-strand base pairing and promote aggregation. Congrats Brett O'Brien! 👏👏 nature.com/articles/s4146…
