Actin shaping ER😍

Seeking someone looking for a two-year postbac position to get my group up and running at Yale University! We will be utilizing chromatin tracing and other multiplexed imaging approaches to study the relationship between 3D genome organization and epigenetic memory in embryos!

A well deserved recognition for our very own Karin Reinisch - she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences along with other Yale School of Medicine colleagues! news.yale.edu/2024/04/24/sev…

Excited to share that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at UNC Greensboro this Fall! The Ader Lab (nickaderlab.com) will investigate how cells build and maintain their compartments. Can't wait to start the teaching and mentoring!

🚨SPECIAL LECTURE🚨 On September 24th at noon, Dr. Cori Bargmann (Cori Bargmann) from Rockefeller University will give the Silliman Memorial Lecture entitled "One Brain, Many Behaviors: The Fascinating World of Internal States" 🧠🙌 Mark your calendars 🗓️ We hope to see you there!

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…

I'm excited to share this collaborative work with Katerina Kraft and Matt Jones that started as an exploration of the nuclear organization of ecDNA in colon cancer cells and ended with some neat findings on repetitive elements. See thread for more!

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

Without foundational knowledge of human biology and disease made possible through basic research, solutions to real-world health problems through applied research would not be possible. My colleagues & I describe the importance of #NIH-supported basic research and how it advances
