Absolutely thrilled to have this work published with RSC! Thank you again to my mentor @BalynZaro and co-authors Sara, Kate, and José Montaño Check out my pinned tweet for a more detailed thread!

Excited to co-direct the Tau Center Without Walls Tau Center Without Walls (CWOW) with Alison Goate Friedman Brain Institute and Geschwind Lab @ UCLA, working with awesome colleagues Danielle Swaney Lea T. Grinberg, M.D, Ph.D Timothy S Chang Kat Bowles and wonderful trainees!

Check out our latest review article on non-canonical Hsp70 interactions—out now in Cell Stress & Chaperones! With the recent explosion of studies mentioning them, Dr. O & Jason thought this timely. We hope it inspires new important research! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I wrote a review on non-canonical PPIs in Hsp70. The cool part (to me) is that they don’t simply stabilize primary interactions, they seem to instill specific functions to Hsp70 complexes! Hope y’all like it!

This was such an incredible professional development experience! I learned so much from my cohort of Rising Stars & the incredible scientists & administrators in UNC SOM & the Pharmacology Dept. It was an honor. 😊👩🏾‍🔬

I concur. I confirm that new PIs will do everything to make their mentees successful! I contend that other hashtags are also cool. I also confess that I’m a new PI College of Chemistry and we are recruiting thezlab.org

…and another 1! 2nd paper in 1 wk Ian Ferguson. Collabo w @gestwickilab CellChemicalBiology: allosteric HSP70 inhibitors overcome proteasome inhibitor resistance in #myeloma #mssm. #proteomics finds surprising mechanism: block HSPA9 & destabilize mitoribosome! cell.com/cell-chemical-…

Chaperones are needed for so many processes! How do you make process-specific or disease-specific chaperone inhibitors that are not generally toxic? A great collaboration with Gestwicki Lab shows the way...cell.com/cell-chemical-…

It was fun to be a part of this exciting work!

Another great collaboration out today!

Jumping around the mutation alphabet to hit cancer! Our new work covalent targeting of KRAS G12S is online: nature.com/articles/s4158… Interested in more? The Zhang lab (thezlab.org) at UC Berkeley is recruiting:)

As part of the #QBIChemBio22 Symposium today, Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate, co-inventor of #CRISPR-Cas9 & Professor at UC San Francisco/UC Berkeley will participate in a Twitter Space hosted by Jason Gestwicki. Tune in at 1:30 PT to hear about her work! qbi.ucsf.edu/twitter-space-…

Huge congratulations to Carolyn Bertozzi !!! What a well deserved honor.

Congratulations to our amazing postdoc Emma Carroll on winning a poster award at the Protein Folding Dynamics Gordon Research Conference!!! It’s a well-earned testament to her brilliance & creativity!

We’re thrilled to have Nick joining us!

First woman to graduate from MIT was a chemist. She applied chemistry to issues like nutrition - a pioneer ahead of her time in many different ways #WomenInSTEM

Interested in learning how dyes might help in characterizing protein activity? We're excited to share the development of a protein-adaptive DSF platform (paDSF), a dye-based method used to interrogate stability, dynamics, and ligand binding! go.nature.com/4ajNRNp

Excited to share the work done by Taia Wu and Zach Gale-Day on DSFWorld: an online open-source software that streamlines the planning and analysis of DSF experiments! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pr…

Proud to share this publication by our postdoc, Shweta Devi! It offers new insights into the interaction capabilities of the TPR domain to EEVD-like motifs in nonchaperone proteins. jbc.org/article/S0021-…
