Today for #WomansHistoryMonth, meet Dr. Nalini Dhingra a postdoc in the Zhao Lab. mskcc.org/blog/msk-women…

Great to see this work from Catherine Freudenreich lab that is out in Cell Reports! Find out more about how SUMO sends stalled replication forks to the nuclear pore complex for repair. Happy that our postdoc Nalini Dhingra also contributed to this work! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Please RT. Postdoc positions available in the Zhao Lab at Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute to study DNA replication, recombinational repair, SUMO, & Smc5/6. Be part of our fantastic group & live in the phenomenal NYC! More info below. Contact me at [email protected] if interested.

Just in case you thought 2020 was getting any better "Our findings also suggest that mentors benefit more when working with male protégés rather than working with comparable female protégés, especially if the mentor is female." #WomenInSTEM nature.com/articles/s4146…

How can the Rad5 protein family perform diverse genome maintenance activities? New insights provided by this collaborative work led by Dr. Song Xiang and helped by Xiaolan Zhao Lab, Hengyao Lab and others is out now! Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Song Xiang’s lab & collaborators present the Rad5 crystal structure and reveal multiple activities of the yeast Rad5 HIRAN domain go.nature.com/38FBj6B

Ever wonder how specific genome maintenance factors are sumoylated at DNA replication and repair sites to modulate their functions? 1/4

In this study, Li et al. propose that Esc2 acts as a SUMO E2 cofactor at distinct DNA structures to promote the sumoylation of specific substrates and genome maintenance. Xiaolan Zhao Lab Xiaoyu Xue Bingbing Wan Shibai @jakebonnbonn genesdev.cshlp.org/content/35/3-4…

A new way to dampen the Mec1(ATR) checkpoint, mediated by Srs2 DNA helicase! Check out our paper by Nalini Dhingra at Xiaolan Zhao Lab @sloan_kettering in collaboration with professorantony Sahiti Kuppa Nilisha Pokhrel in PNASNews 1/3 pnas.org/content/118/8/…

A piece of good news, my new research on hepatitis B virus (HBV) is online today! Alexander Ploss, Princeton MolBio. nature.com/articles/s4146… HBV is a cancer virus that claims close to a million lives a year world wide. Hope HBV can be cured one day!

New structural insights into the mysterious Smc5/6 complex, focusing on the KITE-Kleisin subcomplex. Nice collaboration between Xiaolan Zhao Lab and the Cho lab. Congrats to all authors. Shibai @sloan_kettering Journal of Molecular Biology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats to @SilvaBaburyan , Hunter College graduate & former lab intern, who was awarded the Jonas E Salk Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to outstanding students who plan to attend medical or graduate school in biomedical sciences after graduation. Great job, Silva!

Our collaborative study from Dinshaw lab, Xiaolan Zhao Lab, Kentsis Research Group & Andrej Sali lab addresses the structures & functions of the Smc5/6 complex & is out now in PNAS. Congrats to all authors, including You Yu Shibai Zheng Ser Tanmoy Sanyal. 1/5 pnas.org/content/118/19…

Congratulations Gemma and everyone involved on all the hard-work!!!!👏

Congrats to @ProfessorAntony and all! Thanks Nalini Dhingra for her in vivo work. Many intriguing questions to think about...
