I am happy to share that I will be joining Biology Dept. Buffalo State University in September! I will continue working on bacterial intervening sequences (such as group II introns and inteins). Thank you all! Belfort Lab Mark Farman Fuchs lab; and very special tanks to Cathleen Schiraldi

Congratulations to our own Dr. Novikova on her new position! We wish her the best and look forward to seeing her future work!

This week we had a socially distanced goodbye party for Jake Bailey ! We’re definitely going to miss him

Congrats Belfort Lab! New pub showing that zinc is a potent and reversible inhibitor of mycobacterial DnaB splicing. University at Albany mbio.asm.org/content/11/4/e…

Abstract submission deadline is tomorrow! CSHL Transposable Elements meeting (fully virtual), October 6 - 9, 2020. Abstract deadline July 17. meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?… #transposon

Condensing from 2 lab spaces down to 1 to make room for new faculty. It’s been tough work, but somehow we’re making it all fit!

Excited to announce our most recent publication in NAR! In collaboration with Dr. Hong-Wei Wang’s lab at Tsinghua University, we present group II intron RNP structures immediately before branching and splicing. Looks a lot like a spliceosome! 👀 academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

We're looking forward to Dr. Belfort's talk tomorrow morning at #cshlTE20: "An engaging journey with mobile introns and inteins" If you're attending the CSHL TE meeting, don't miss it!

Check out our new collaborative work, out in PNAS now! Inteins are great drug targets in pathogenic microbes! pnas.org/content/118/2/…

We enjoyed a great Life Sciences Research Symposium today! And our own Justin Waldern won an award for his speed talk! He's also defending his dissertation next week 👀

Tomorrow Justin Waldern will be defending his dissertation over Zoom. Be sure to tune in, as Justin is our last student 😱

This week we say goodbye to our final graduate student, Dr. Justin Waldern (Justin Waldern ) who successfully defended his Ph.D. a few weeks ago and is now embarking on a new journey with Alain Laederach ! Good luck!
