The Busy Summer of 2023 III: 25/10!
Final things to highlight in the summer of 2023 are ones I'm particularly proud of, including anniversaries of the lab's founding 25 years ago in the Department of Biochemistry at UT Southwestern and joining the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center 10 years ago, plus receiving the Stein and Moore [...]
The Busy Summer of 2023 II: Congratulations, Dr. Roksana Azad
Congrats to Roksana Azad for an outstanding PhD defense talk and Q&A on Aug 24, wrapping up the work required for her Ph.D. in the GC Ph.D. Program in Biochemistry. With what is turning into the lab's magic mix of biophysical & biochemical approaches – HDX-MS / cryo-EM / [...]
The Busy Summer of 2023 I: Welcome, Melanie!
Thinking back to being a kid growing up in California, I remember summers being a time of rest, relaxation, and squirreling around with a backpack on – places like here, here and here. Good times! In 2023, not a kid any longer = summers are time to move things along, [...]
Sequence conservation with a catch: Dikiy et al. JBC 2023
In our latest J. Biol. Chem. paper, we share some of our latest findings from a fantastic team led by Igor Dikiy and Danielle Swingle, who investigated how strongly homology across related proteins really translates into fundamental aspects like regulatory mode and quaternary structure. Starting from bioinformatics searches looking [...]
Welcome Soumendu!
Welcome to new postdoctoral researcher Soumendu Boral, joining us after getting his Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur earlier this year with NMR-based studies of the structural and dynamic basis of protein splicing mediated by the Spl DnaX intein. Thrilled to have you join us here in New York! [...]
