Congrats to @prashkaushal @UCLAQCBio @MicrobioUcla for his first-author paper from our lab, in collaboration with @KroganLab! Check out our protocol for mapping differential protein-protein interaction networks using AP-MS: star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/3829
Congratulations to Yennifer Delgado @Delgado_Yenn PhD student in my group for receiving the @NSF GRFP, a competitive 3-year fellowship for graduate students, and to Declan Winters for an honorable mention. You guys are amazing. I’m lucky to work with you!

Stellar presentation by Yennifer Delgado @Delgado_Yenn at the @MicrobioUcla virology seminar series, PhD student in the lab, talking about her work on membrane protein phosphorylation — stay tuned for updates

Seminar next week, Monday 17th at ASTAR ID Labs. @DoctorBou Prof. Mehdi Bouhaddou from UCLA will present his lab's work on phosphoproteomics and protein-protein interactions in virus infections. bouhaddoulab.org
Check out our most recent paper studying immune tolerance to #malaria via plasma proteomics in Ghanaian children, a collaboration between researchers @UnivofGh, @QBI_UCSF, @MicrobioUcla, @UCLAQCBio. Shout out to first authors Aisha, Charles, and Andrea! bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Excited to be invited back to my PhD alma mater @IcahnMountSinai for a seminar — will be speaking about virus-host protein-protein interactions, so naturally, wearing the socks to match. @QBI_UCSF

What a gift from @QBI_UCSF: socks with protein-protein interaction maps and outcome booklet for a recent Africa trip! What’s on your foot? Thanks @KroganLab



Great (and scary) visualization of 2024 daily temperatures compared to prior years by the BBC today. Evocative of the iconic Joy Division album cover from 1979: bbc.com/news/articles/…

Congratulations to QBI Director Nevan Krogan for being named one of the Cell Press 50 Scientists that Inspire for his work in fostering international collaboration and capacity building! Read more: cell.com/news-do/50-ins…
We're studying firefighters folks! Funded by UC, our team (Jeffrey Kimura, LA fire captain / Brigitte Gomperts, Victoria Barber, and David Gonzales @UCLA) will probe how indirect particulate exposure (on PPE) induces carcinogenic signaling in organoids. universityofcalifornia.edu/news/uc-awards…
I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.
I’m lucky @Delgado_Yenn, future leader in the field and current PhD student, decorates my office or else it would look sad. Thanks Yennifer!! (And we have a special visitor in lab today… hopefully he sleeps…)

Fascinating. Good to know when you’re planning experiments.

An elegant @Nature study by @AkassoglouLab has illuminated our understanding of the role of fibrin (component of blood clots), #SARSCoV2, and brain inflammation in Covid and #LongCovid. This discovery and more in the new Ground Truths podcast, with transcript, key figures (such…
First day of teaching undergraduates at UCLA — what a privilege!


Ladies and gentlemen, the Bouhaddou lab has successfully performed a plaque assay. Thank you Shipra Sharma
