Yesterday our lab said #Aloha and #AHuiHou to a incredible postbacc in our lab, who is moving to pursue MedSchool in CA. Good luck, Syd!

The protein universe just got a lot brighter. Researchers have mined a database containing the structures of nearly every known protein go.nature.com/3sXMJz0

AlphaMissense, a tool by DeepMind, can help researchers learn more about the effects that missense mutations have on disease, and could help identify previously unknown disease-causing genes, according to a new Science study. Learn more: scim.ag/49l

🚨🚨Glad to share, together with Thamara Nishida, our perspective on the recent work from the James Olzmann Joseph Hendricks characterizing a new class of #FSP1 inhibitors Sabotaging the breaks: FSEN1 expands the tool-box of FSP1 Inhibitors👨🚨🚓🚔 authors.elsevier.com/a/1hoEB8jWWJtX…

It always makes me happy to share work I've been doing in the selenium space. This one is particularly special as I teamed up with Kaitlin Day PhD to develop a targeted approach that can be used to investigate the genetic aspects of micronutrients metabolism in health/disease.

Happy #AlohaFriday!!

Our Selenium Lab team at the UH Open House last Saturday! #soest
