1/Excited to share our latest study "Comprehensive characterization of the Hsp70 interactome reveals novel client proteins and interactions mediated by posttranslational modifications" in @PLOSBiology: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… This work started with a simple idea-

In your opinion, how many first-author publications should a PhD student in biology have to be considered a competitive candidate for a postdoctoral or industry position? @AmerSocVirol @ASMicrobiology @AACR @ASGCTherapy #immunology @UNCCBiology @unccharlotte @UNCCFaculty

Cancer Cell's April's Special Issue is now live! Our central theme: Bridging the gap between foundational cancer research and clinical oncology. Read our Editorial by Editor-in-Chief Steve Mao + an excellent collection of reviews, opinion pieces & articles cell.com/cancer-cell/is…

Two thoughts- 1) if they are not funding at 5% what are they funding and 2) given scoring variation I think we are at the point that the top 25% go into a lottery with winners selected for funding

Superb work from @ShorterLab! One of the best papers I have read in a long time 🔥🔥🔥 #chaperones #tdp43 #als #yeast

Congratulations to @DuhitaMirikar and @megan_mitchem for passing their proposal defense and to @psiddhi273 on their PhD graduation! So proud of you all!!!! @UNCCBiology @unccharlotte 🔥🔥🔥

Grateful to have been awarded the first UNC Charlotte Klein College of Science award for Research and Scholarship (KNOBEL) 🔥🔥🔥 @UNCCBiology @unccharlotte

Proud to partner with Guilford Technical Community College @_gtcc in offering a seamless transfer option through our #49erNext program to students wishing to pursue a bachelor's degree @unccharlotte. 🤙⛏️💚 ➡️ 49ernext.charlotte.edu

Proud of undergraduate students Shreya Patel and Erica Flores on doing a great job presenting their work at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Undergraduate Research Symposium! Incredible findings on the Hsp70 and BiP PTM code!

It is finally out! I am incredibly proud to share that my work has officially been published in Cell @CellCellPress! This work was a product of years of dedication and countless hours of research in the labs of Joanna Wysocka and @JaroszLab @StanfordMed cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Exploring RNA destabilization mechanisms in biomolecular condensates through atomistic simulations | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A great scientific session discussing our new data- #ecDNA #Amplification & #Rearrangements driven by #Epigenetics. & A fun career session @ASBMB Annual Meeting highlighting @CeiFccc & @FoxChaseCancer opportunities! Met many trainees providing the future of discovery and science

Thrilled that our work on this problem with @KarelBrinda, @ZaminIqbal, and others is out in @naturemethods today! We used phylogenetic compression (described in the thread) to compress every microbe ever sequenced onto a flash drive so that it can be searched with a laptop!

Had a fabulous time celebrating our new R1 status and the students and faculty researchers who made it possible! 💚🤙🎊 @unccharlotte
