Happy to share the lab’s latest research tagging psychedelic-activated neurons in mice. See the post below from first author Jessie Muir for a tweeprint on the work. Thanks to wonderful collaborators Olson Lab Lin Tian, PhD and to our reviewers/editor! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Hear from PAGER’s co-creators, Nick Kalogriopoulos and Reika Tei in this Stanford news story from Taylor Kubota: Tool that enhances control of cellular activity could expand biological and medical frontiers news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/1…

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. Djenet Bousbaine led the charge... nature 1/55

Are you a Japanese student interested in a postdoctoral fellowship in the US? The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has an exciting new fully-funded Global Science Scholars program to pair students who have received their undergraduate or doctoral degrees in Japan with US bioengineering

We need private water tankers to come to Palisades Highlands NOW. LADWP has sent water trucks but they are sitting unused in staging, reserved for LAFD 🔥 engines. There aren't enough engines up there to fight all the active fires. Residents have pumps and are protecting homes.

Tetanus on demand! (not for bioweapons, but for neuroscience research) Tetanus toxin induces paralysis by using a protease to cleave VAMP2, a protein required for synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release. To harness this toxicity and use it as a beneficial tool for

Today we report the directed evolution of HUH (a sequence-sequence covalent protein tag for ssDNA labeling) into rHUH, a sequence-specific covalent protein tag for RNA labeling. rHUH was hard to engineer: the initial HUH template had no RNA activity, so we started with RNA-DNA

🚨 Funded postdoc opportunities in the U.S. and Japan—spend time abroad! 🚨 The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network and the Stellar Science Foundation are inviting postdoctoral fellows to apply for the new Global Science Scholars fellowship! This 2-yr fellowship supports your next

We are hiring a new lab manager! Our wonderful lab manager Albert is headed off to grad school and we are looking to fill his position this summer.  This is a great opportunity for a new graduate to spend a couple years immersed in research before applying to PhD or MD programs.

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be starting my own lab at the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy UW–Madison School of Pharmacy in Jan 2026! So grateful to everyone who’s supported me along the way—especially my postdoc advisor Alice Ting Alice Ting. Can’t wait to start

Proximity-specific ribosome profiling using LOV-BirA reveals two distinct strategies for mitochondrially-localized translation: one for long coding sequences and one for short. It was a pleasure to contribute to this beautiful work from Jonathan Weissman Jonathan Weissman's Lab and Jingchuan Luo

Excited to share the first paper from my lab in nature ! We repurposed the widely used research tool, proximity labeling, to demonstrate its therapeutic potential in antigen amplification for immunotherapy using mouse tumor models and patient samples. nature.com/articles/s4158…
