Check out the protein compartmentalization and sorting minisymposium at #cellbio2023 today starting at 3:30 pm in Room 254A!

Excited for this!
Please join us this summer as the power of Ubiquitin Signaling converges with the power of Niagara Falls for @FASEBorg #UBPSRC. We value DEIA, are raising $ for travel awards, have fantastic speakers and are excited to select new speakers from abstracts. @LabJoazeiro
Happy 20th HMS lab anniversary to @jwadeharperlab! We totally lucked out with lab neighbors!
Celebrating 20 years of the @jwadeharperlab . Great to see so many past and present members of the lab last night! @HarvardCellBio @sshaolab
One of two opportunities this fall to join the @HarvardCellBio faculty - this community has been great for me, my lab, and our science!
We're looking for a new Assistant Professor @DanaFarber & @HarvardCellBio! This is a very special research environment and starting my lab here has been an exceptional experience. Come join us!!
Thank you @ASCBiology for the recognition based on the hard work of this amazing group (and former members)! Looking forward to the meeting!
Sichen (Susan) Shao, Harvard Medical School will receive ASCB's Günter Blobel Early Career Award at #cellbio2023. Congratulations! @sshaolab @harvardmed
