Our review on small endogenous RNAs in animals is online. We thank @MartinjSimard, @SvobodaLab and the third, anonymous, reviewer for helping us improve our manuscript. bit.ly/3Ebk931
I am so incredibly excited to share our latest work, on the exploration of #RNA secondary structure ensembles and discovery of RNA regulatory structural switches in bacteria and human cells, out today in @NatureBiotech: nature.com/articles/s4158…. A short tread! (1/n)
New preprint countdown! Mitochondria are cells within our cells. They need the same core activities - replication, transcription, translation. How do cells enable these diverse activities in both compartments? We uncover an unexpected strategy with ancient origins. Stay tuned!
My PhD project from @daSpliceIsRight Lab/@MITBiology is out now in @NAR_Open! Thanks for great feedback & pleasant review process. Absolutely thrilled to be sharing this work w the world 🥰🤪 now onto the next chapter... 🐈🐈⬛😸😻academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…
Happy to announce that our paper on systematically discovering peptides to inhibit protein-protein interactions in living cells is out now @PNASNews: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…. @MITBiology @ScienceMIT @HHMINews See quoted thread on the updated preprint for details:
Excited to share our updated manuscript on FragFold, the massively parallel AlphaFold-based approach we’ve developed to discover protein fragment inhibitors at scale -- w/ @SassSeabass, @keating_lab, and @GeneWeiLiLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)
Thrilled to announce the final version of our paper on computational discovery of protein fragments that can inhibit cellular protein interactions, led by Andrew Savinov (@bioSavinov), now published in @PNASNews. @MITBiology @ScienceMIT @HHMINews

Today we're thrilled to announce our 2024 #HannaGrayFellows! Please join us in welcoming and celebrating these outstanding early career scientists! This cohort includes scientists working in research areas ranging from treatment-resistant cancers to sleep dysregulation to how…
Excited to be presenting our latest work at the Keystone noncoding RNA meeting in January. Looking forward to meeting fellow researchers in the field, both old & new -- at the talks and posters, or on the ski slopes! #KSncRNA25 keysym.us/KSncRNA25
I’m thrilled to share this story from @Mendell_lab and Jan Erzberger labs, led by postdoc extraordinaire Xiaoqiang Zhu! We showed that in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs play a key role in regulating mRNA stability during translation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
