We love genetics, structure, mechanics, and DNA sequencing for studying cilia. We are very fond of Chlamydomonas for sharing its secrets with us.
I have enjoyed being on Twitter and then X with the science / biology people. It was a great source of exciting papers and new discoveries. But I have sold my Tesla S and I am moving to Bluesky. See you at dutcherlab.bsky.social
I voted this morning. I really like seeing neighbors and colleagues moving our democracy forward. I am waiting to vote again in 4 years. If you have not voted, go do it
Wash U / Edison Fsmily Genome and System Biology Symposium A great set of talks
Great organization and science in the EMBO cilia 2024 meeting
An exciting paper lead by Amjad Horani was published today in JCI insights Transcriptional analysis of primary ciliary dyskinesia airway cells reveals a dedicated cilia glutathione pathway insight.jci.org/articles/view/…
In Dublin for the #EuroCilia2024 meeting that starts tomorrow. No rain yet!
Our newest paper in Current Biology demonstrates how small changes in a disordered protein sequence enable fungi to grow at different temperatures. @1stLinesSci cell.com/current-biolog…
We found a #cilia expression of GSTA2 that was increased in subjects with different variants causing PCD.
Thrilled to share that I'll be starting a tenure-track assistant professor position at the Department of Genetics, Washington University in St. Louis, in January 2025! @WashUGenetics I am recruiting lab members at all levels. For more details, visit our lab website or check flyer
Thanks for a fantastic meeting. #FASEBCilia2024. A great program that brought out the best and brightest in the cilia world

Thank you Holden Thorpe for appearing before a special subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee investigating the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, and explaining how academic journals decide what to publish on these issues.
Dinner at the ERN-PCD dinner in Nicosia. Kim, June, Heymut, and Amjad
In Nicosia Cyprus for the ERN-PCD meeting. Eating meze with Amjad Horani and Magee Leigh.
Last night Leila Solnica-Krezel gave an incredible talk at the Academic Women’s Network Spring dinner. It went from her upbringing in Poland to her love of zebrafish to her goals as Head of Developmental Biology to her mentoring of great science by her faculty . Brava Leila!
How much does a graduate student cost per year in your program? I'm putting together a list of how much graduate students cost departments/faculty at different universities. Please contribute to the attached google sheet and please RT! Thanks! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Our latest manuscript explaining why PCD patients with CCDC39 and CCDC40 variants have disproportionately severe disease is now on BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101 .
We posted our manuscript on the cilia-dependent and cilia-independent phenotypes of the ccdc39 and ccdc40 variants that cause primary ciliary dyskinesia on BioRxiv. A great collaboration with unexpected findings. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
