Yale MB&B

On Friday, September 27 at 12PM (EDT) in TAC Auditorium, Jake Thrasher will be defending. The title of his defense is “Mapping the RADical Interaction Landscape Between the RAD51 Paralogs and BRCA2”. In person and on zoom

We’ve pioneered a disease-agnostic screening platform for aberrant biomolecular condensates—cellular structures linked to incurable neurological diseases. We screened genes and FDA-approved drugs that modulate disease-relevant nuclear condensates: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Join us next week for MB&B's Computational Biophysics & Biochemistry Symposium on 6/17 in Bass 305.

Join us in congratulating Tom Pollard on receiving the 2025 Connecticut Medal of Science! Tom and his wife Patty stopped by campus while in town for the award ceremony. 📸 : Joe Wolenski

Julien Berro thinks about the force – particularly around the 'cytoskeleton' scaffold inside our cells. The member of the Yale Nanobiology Institute spoke w/ @CytoskelJournal about the exciting projects that could pave the way to new medical therapeutics: bit.ly/berroforce

we are beyond proud that our @YaleMBB @schliekerlab undergraduate researcher Sophia graduated as the sole @Yale Colleague '25 graduate with an exceptional distinction in the major! Congrats Sophia for this richly deserved honor!

#Congratulations to YSM's Gary Brudvig, PhD, Jonathan Ellman, PhD, and Mark Hochstrasser, PhD, who are among five @Yale professors newly #elected to @theNASciences: brnw.ch/21wSq7O @ellman_jonathan @YaleMBB @YalePharm

#Congratulations to Gary Brudvig, PhD, of @YaleMBB and Valentina Greco, PhD, of @YaleGenetics, who are among eight @Yale #faculty newly #elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. @valentatormenta

I'm excited about my visit to @YaleSPH @Yale in April to receive the C.E.A. Winslow Medal in public health, and the opportunity to return an amazing institution where I spent so many of my formative years: My undergrad degree in @YaleMBB (molecular biophysics & biochem) 1976-80,…

Today in @PNASNews we report the first structure of an antisperm antibody-antigen complex. The naturally occurring OBF13 antibody inhibits sperm IZUMO1 during fertilization, opening avenues for antibody-based contraceptives! @yonggang_lu & Masa Ikawa. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Check out our paper showcasing the first structure of a fully modified human tRNA bound to amino acyl-tRNA synthetase. academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…

We are excited to announce a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in Computational Biophysics and Biochemistry, exploring the intricate molecular and cellular processes and the complex interactions of their macromolecular components! Apply now at apply.interfolio.com/162132

We're excited to announce a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in Cellular Biophysics and Structural Biology! We are especially excited to hear from candidates who develop in situ approaches in structural cell biology. Join us in MB&B! Apply now at apply.interfolio.com/151559

This week's @YaleMBB and MCDB Happy Hour will be hosted by the Schlieker and Hochstrasser Labs September 13 | 4:30 pm YSB Courtyard

very much looking forward to hosting Bernd Bukau @BukauLab next Monday who will deliver the Tom Steitz lecture!

How do cellular organelles buffer forces and mechanical strain while maintaining celullar dynamics? We show that the Ig fold protein NOMO1 plays a key role in this process: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

On Friday, September 27 in Bass 305, Brigitte Naughton, Schlieker Lab, will be defending. The title of her defense is “Nodal Modulator (NOMO) is a Force-Bearing Transmembrane Protein Required for Muscle Differentiation”. Refreshments at 2:15pm and defense starts at 2:30pm.

On Friday, September 20 in Bass 305, Bryan Bogin will be defending. The title of his defense is “Stabilizing Intrinsically Disordered Proteins by Conformational selection to Prevent Pathological Aggregation”. Refreshments served at 12:45pm and defense will start at 1:00pm.
