Imaging single endogenous RNA in live cells comes true!

Really excited to unveil sandbox.bio, an interactive playground for learning bioinformatics command-line tools like bedtools, bowtie2, and samtools (and more to come!) 🧑‍💻 🧬 Thanks to @aaronquinlan, @BenLangmead, and @mike_schatz for feedback and tutorial ideas.

My lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow. Exciting opportunities for LLPS, single-molecule imaging, genomic approaches, and genetic engineering. Pls RT

As a new faculty member at UNC Charlotte, I am excited to present my first seminar here. ⁦@ShanYanLab⁩ Thanks for the picture!

Excited to share that our paper cell.com/molecular-cell… got the cover of the new issue of @MolecularCell. Extra cool that this is a photograph taken by the first author @Nancybrillet, a super-star research assistant and post-bacc who just started grad school @UTSWGradSchool

So cool to see @tgwgraham’s work featured in the @Nature Briefing today! Read more about our developments to detect single molecule protein-protein interactions in live cells here : nature.com/articles/d4158…

Registration for the 5th Annual Meeting on Advances in Nuclear Topology & 3D Chromatin Architecture in Cancer is NOW OPEN! Get ready to hear from an all-star lineup of speakers – you won't want to miss this. Register for free: bit.ly/chromatin-2024 #chromatin2024

🚀 My lab is recruiting technicians, PhD students, and postdocs! Join us to leverage single-molecule techniques, genomic approaches, and genetic engineering to explore the roles of LLPS in genome regulation. Exciting opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research!

🚀 Thrilled to announce my lab has moved to UNC Charlotte, a vibrant and rapidly growing university! Huge thanks to my colleagues, collaborators, and friends for their support over the years. Excited for this new chapter and the great science ahead! 🌟🔬

Proud of grad student @megan_mitchem on her winning image "Guardian of the Cell" in the @ASBMB Molecular Motifs bioart competition! 🔥🔥🔥asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe… #hsp70 #chaperone @unccharlotte @UNCCBiology

Please RT: We have Senior Scientist, Postdoctoral Researcher and PhD student positions available in our lab focusing on the role of Hsp70 PTMs in a variety of processes including cancer, aging and host-pathogen interactions. Please see: trumanlab.org/contact #hsp70 #chaperones
