Delighted to share that our preprint is now published in PNASNews . Here we showed that flagellar motility is mutagenic. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… HarsheyLab

Torii Lab NaturalSciences @ UT Molecular Biosciences HHMI , October 2024 🤘🌱🧬🧪. We unlock the secret of plant development!

A potently #neutralizing and protective human #antibody with a unique antigenic footprint on #RSV and #hMPV fusion glycoproteins. Collaborative work with Jason McLellan Jarrod Mousa Rachel Bonami James Crowe Robert Carnahan, and others. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great structures from former postdoctoral fellow Jack Bravo NaturalSciences @ UT, now PI ISTAustria! Awesome collaboration with AstraZeneca on using structure guided engineering of PsCas9 to be highly active, while retaining specificity! nature.com/articles/s4146…

You want to run antibiotic MICs according to best-practice clinical microbiology protocols, but you are not sure how? Our article will walk you through it all! Great to work with Nikol Ayesha Mahmood and a pleasure to publish in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance. rdcu.be/dZp04 #AMR

Kudos to our 6 faculty on Clarivate’s 2024 list of Highly Cited Researchers! • Feliciano Giustino • Xiaoqin “Elaine” Li • Allan MacDonald • Jason McLellan • Nancy Moran • Jonathan Sessler #HighlyCited2024 Jason McLellan Jonathan L Sessler UT Austin

Check out our new work Nature Communications by awesome grad student Rodrigo Fregoso Ocampo and former postdoc Jack Bravo NaturalSciences @ UT Molecular Biosciences! Guide RNA folds into gnarly geometry to tether tiny protein domains together. Great to collaborate with Metagenomi! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congratulations to our very own, Jason McLellan for being inducted into the Class of 2025 National Inventors Hall of Fame!

New research finds the activation of immune signaling can cross-regulate the otherwise highly specific stomatal development signaling if the availability of the shared downstream components becomes suboptimal. Learn more in this week’s issue: scim.ag/3WPx6pv

A new study by biologists at UT Austin & TAMU BCBP, in collaboration with scientists in Japan, shows how plants balance growth and defense — offering insights for stronger, more resilient crops. Torii Lab Prof. Keiko Torii #TexasScience #PlantScience cns.utexas.edu/news/research/…
