My first 1st author preprint is out on bioRxiv Microbiology! :,) This is work from my first year or so in Nayak Lab, and I'm v proud of it. Thank you to Dipti for being such a gracious mentor, and to all my supportive colleagues in lab and beyond! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It was great discussing Valle’s postdoctoral work on diel light and the Chlamydomonas cell cycle with the brilliant minds at the Mitochondria & Chloroplast GRC. And look at all of that chlorophyll! Valle Ojeda Sunnyjoy Dupuis, PhD

The end of the #Chlamy23 conference, full of amazing science 👌♥️ with awards all amazingly well deserved 👏👏 I am impressed by so many bright people thinking about Chlamydomonas, each with their own view, it's just so cool to be part of he comunity 🥰

We are thrilled to have dedicated this month’s Nature Methods “Creature Column” to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: our favorite model for photosynthesis and so much more! Sunnyjoy Dupuis, PhD nature.com/articles/s4159…

Merchant lab had a great time at the 2024 GRC on Mitochondria & Chloroplasts in Spain! Gordon Research Conferences Everyone had great presentations and it was overall a successful meeting!

My very first first-author research article is officially available The ISME Journal! See what it’s like for a bacterium to live off Chlamy’s photosynthesis under continuous &diurnal light. doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

I am excited to share our discovery on how the Fe-rich eukaryotic Photosystem I (PSI) has an additional LHCI tetramer in Fe starvation from two green algae species isolated from drastically different environmental niches. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Too dim, too bright, and just right: Systems analysis of the Chlamydomonas diurnal program under limiting and excess light academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Our large-scale biology article is out in The Plant Cell! Dig into these rich datasets to see how light-induced stress not only impacts what algae do during the day, but also how it shapes their physiology and gene expression at night. doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

Postdoctoral researcher Sunnyjoy Dupuis, PhD, PhD '25 Microbiology, writes about the S. Merchant Lab and QB3-Berkeley scientists peeking in on algae at night to discover how the organisms prepare for another stressful day on the job. qb3.berkeley.edu/news/tiny-orga…

Honored to have our article featured in this great "In Brief" article! 🌞
