Long in the making but Puglisi Labs finally have some findings to share–how the eukaryotic ribosomes make the way to start codons, how RNA structures regulate scanning dynamics, and how scanning is coupled to start codon recognition and its interplay with RNA structures.

The Arc Institute launches today with Stanford University UC Berkeley UC San Francisco, bringing together unconstrained funding for ambitious science, rapid tech development centers, and the scientific excellence of these universities into one physical institute. Join us at arcinstitute.org

I'm thrilled to share our latest work performing genome-scale Perturb-seq screens to explore a remarkable breadth of questions in genetics and cell biology (thread below). Congrats to Reuben Saunders, Tom Norman, and @JSWlab for co-leading this work. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Banaszynski lab is hiring a postdoc! We are a chromatin lab studying histone variant biology in the context of both development and disease. Retweet to help me spread the word and message me if you are interested. 1/

Where are acetylated histones during starvation and how did the marks get there? Follow the acetyl groups as they reveal metabolic genes for survival #epigenetics #metabolism: cell.com/molecular-cell…

With today’s launch of Altos Labs, we celebrate this community of leading scientists, clinicians, and industry leaders. We are excited to pursue cellular rejuvenation programming to restore cell health with the goal to reverse disease. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Rick Klausner speaks about Altos, the $3B epigenetic reprogramming company he’s formed with Uri Milner & Jeff Bezos invesbrain.com/what-kind-of-b…

This is a major misconception. UC Berkeley has a medical school. They just have the temerity to call themselves UC San Francisco.

If your diversity initiatives don’t include disability, it is not truly diverse.

This is sad, but unfortunately true. I grew up stuttering, and I spent my entire life trying hard to hide my disability. When I applied for faculty positions, I wasn't eligible for any of the "diversity searches" because I was not considered as "diversity".

Beautiful work by Jamin Liu, Joe DeRisi et al. on applying CRISPR screens to identify host factors that mediate LCMV infection in mammalian cells. Potential way of how LCMV infects placental tissues by using CD164 as an entry factor biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to see the peer-reviewed version of our Puglisi Labs & Israel Fernandez story on how eIF1A and eIF5B collaborate to mediate ribosomal subunit joining in humans out today! Congrats all! nature.com/articles/s4158…

I am particularly grateful to our collaborators (Tom Dever lab and Jonathan Bohlen) and my colleagues Puglisi Labs for all the encouragement and help to make this happen. A free access to our just online paper authors.elsevier.com/c/1g1NaL7PXiqS…

Macroautophagy prioritizes turnover of ER and Golgi proteins during nutrient stress. Check out our latest work defining this and the discovery of a selective Golgi degradation pathway. Sharan Swarup, Ian Smith, @jwadeharperlab, @HarvardCellBio nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to announce the Yang lab officially opens at Columbia University University. We are interested in developing innovative single cell recording technologies to study tumor evolution and cancer plasticity. We are hiring motivated postdocs & students, please RT dianyanglab.com

My team at CRBM in Montpellier, France is looking for a postdoc on the sub-nuclear coordination of transcription during embryo development. If you have experience with Drosophila and are interested in quantitative imaging, you can contact me directly to apply.

In collaboration with William Allen and Xiaowei Zhuang, we have developed Perturb-multi: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
