Another preprint is out from the Neal Lab! 🎉
Excited to share the first systematic side-by-side comparison of ERAD Derlin paralogs, revealing distinct cellular functions for Derlin-1, Derlin-2, and Derlin-3.

Congrats!!!!
My awesome colleague, @yarimura.bsky.social, is recruiting a postdoc to start at the end of 2026 or early 2027! His lab uses cryo-EM to uncover structural basis of key chromatin events using native complexes isolated from human cells or Xenopus egg extracts!

❤️🐴 my horse is a hedgehog.
So much more fun than working on my grant application. My horse is a worm
Pleased to share the final version of this behemoth of a paper, now finally published. I guess I can retire now?

More functional data, many thousands of words removed, and a few other updates from last year's preprint.
Excited for this!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
As Fran was nice enough to highlight this, I thought I'd put up a brief thread. 3 in 10 proteins that our cells make are either embedded in membranes (ion channels, adhesion molecules, etc.) or secreted (insulin, antibodies). They move through the secretory pathway.

Exciting preprint from the @merz.bsky.social lab proposing how fidelity of membrane fusion is achieved #membranes #trafficking
I am looking forward to visiting the Dept of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington.
My seminar on CODA and new CAR T cells for solid tumors will be this Tuesday, 4 – 5 p.m in the PAA

the original language in the Senate appropriations bill kept the MYF policy to 2024 levels
ask your congressional representatives for the current language in the funding bill to be replaced with this language: keep MYF at 2024 levels, NOT 2025 levels 🧪
I'm still welcoming submissions through this form if you're a parent or medical provider and want to share how the new vaccine schedule and decline in vax rates is affecting you.
For my first story, I'm especially interested in hearing from parents trying to navigate all of this. (See next post)
A grad student in my lab wrote this article sharing her growth in grad school. Amy is fantastic and I am lucky to work with her. www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/...
Very excited to share I’ll be starting my own group at University of Utah in the Department of Human Genetics in the new year! Reach out if you are interested! vollgerlab.com
The image is a screenshot from https://artsci.washington.edu/csb. That website is titled "Chemical Science Building" and discusses how "The new Chemical Sciences Building will unit modern labs, shared instrumentation, and flexible spaces into an integrated research hub that accelerates innovation across disciplines." I'm extremely proud of the research that has come out of Bagley Hall, including from my own lab, but imagine how much more we could do if we weren't distracted by the periodic flooding and constant power outages characteristic of our old building!
Exciting news! @uwchemistry has approval to build a new lab building…if we raise the remaining funds. Washington State and generous donors have made significant contributions, but we aren’t all the way there yet. If you’d like to know more about the great things we do, please see chem.washington.edu
