Key genes and convergent pathogenic mechanisms in Parkinson disease — a Review by Robert Coukos & Dimitri Krainc go.nature.com/4aZ2SoT
Why does the postdoc in the NIH sample biosketch have first-author papers in Genetics, Science, and Nature in just two years? Now I've got imaginary people giving me impostor syndrome again.
We are hiring a full-time lab manager and research scientist to begin in June 2023! Great opportunity for a graduating senior to delve into research before applying to grad school/med school. Candidate will support day-to-day lab operations and participate careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/life-scie……
Anyone have experience with orthogonal Lox sites (Lox511, Lox2272, LoxN, etc)? Trying to figure out which has best combination of efficiency and orthogonality with respect to LoxP, and curious if anyone can point to a paper or personal observation as a guide.
There are many COVID assays out there, but we tried to build one that is simpler to use and easier/cheaper to manufacture. Our S-BAT sensor is a single recombinant protein that can be expressed from lab strains of E. coli (or yeast), and detects spike antigen or cultured virus…
Two years ago, the UMich Med FGLI group didn't even have a charter. The success of the group now is a credit to @J_Fokas and her peers. First-generation students don't benefit from familial experience, so community is extra important. Please give FGLI groups everywhere some love.

How can we collect good enough data for machine learning driven protein design? We show that random numbers are part of the picture. Work with the David Baker lab (including @erika_alden_d ) and MSRNE (with @KevinKaichuang and @lorin_crawford ). (1/4) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
"Dr. Jen Fokas teaches practical things well – how to put in orders, how to get things done for patients. Gave students a lot of ownership over day-to-day management." 2/4
New in Science: Researchers present a high-speed cell sorter that records multicolor fluorescence images and sorts cells based on them at speeds upwards of 15,000 events per second. Learn more ➡ fcld.ly/z1jzg1r
So excited to share our preprint exploring the DNA targeting specificities of new recombinases, and their usefulness in genome engineering! Such a fun collab with @mgdurrant @AlisonFanton and @pdhsu , Ami bhatt , and my PhD coadvisors @BintuLab & @MCBassik

I'm so grateful to all of my co-authors who helped bring this together, and I'm proud to finally put out the results of our hard work.

HiLITR is a molecular tool that converts complex phenotypes (protein localization & trafficking) into simple FACS readout. Combined w/CRISPRi screening, HiLITR enables HT discovery of genes that influence protein localization in various cell compartments. tinyurl.com/k27hd6v7
So excited to go into 🧠residency with my friends and @UMichMedAdmiss classmates @SangriKim and Jyoti (also my college classmate at NU) and to get to form new bonds with my other co-residents! Thrilled to be a NU wildcat again and to return to the city that I call home!
