I am so excited to share that I will be starting a lab in January 2024 as an Assistant Professor at @OHSUSOM in Portland! I am building my team, so if you are interested in cellular cryoelectron tomography, computational structural biology, and working in PDX, hit me up!

Going to #bps2023? Would love to catch up between sessions or in one of the poster sessions. Here's what's coming from our lab:
@FengYu_Bio is presenting his newest preprint at the IDP I platform, Sunday 9:00 AM in Rm. 6C

What is mentorship to structural biologist @stevendamolab1?
“A collaborative partnership with goals for both the mentee + the mentor.” 🫱🏿🫲🏾🫱🏼🫲🏾#NationalMentoringMonth

Here we present a method that can scale and merge data from different types of diffraction experiments -- monochromatic, polychromatic, XFEL, and more! Give it a try! Check out the examples: github.com/rs-station/carele…
We're excited to share our new publication, "A unifying Bayesian framework for merging X-ray diffraction data," live now in Nature Comm!
In this paper, Kevin Dalton and @JackGreisman present "careless", a python package for Bayesian scaling and merging

UC Merced has received a $12.5 million @NSF grant to develop the Biology Integration Institute: INSITE—a research collaborative to expand the knowledge of symbioses and inform immediate and long-term conservation strategies in the face of climate change. ucm.edu/rkq7Px
ALT A multi-disciplinary team from UC Merced, Michigan State University and Resilient Oceans will look at how climate change will impact ecosystems through a symbiotic lens.

Happy to announce our latest preprint, in collaboration with @MThompsonLab and @Prof_Goto:
Computational remodeling of an enzyme conformational landscape for altered substrate selectivity biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

“Computational remodeling of an enzyme conformational landscape for altered substrate selectivity”
While everyone talks about AI & protein design, @Chica_lab & @MThompsonLab give an example of what goes into evolving & defining new enzyme functionality.

#ScienceTwitter Check it out! I’m publicly sharing all the amazing advice given to me while applying for #GRFP on @cgem_cci’s blog. Please share with your peers and students applying in the near future. Stay tuned for more soon!
New post! Today, @leahtangroe shares key information about the #GRFP and how to think about the "intellectual merit" and "broader impacts" criteria like a reviewer.
