Ever wonder why tRNAs have introns? Our brand new PNAS paper suggests it may be because a tRNA methylase needs the intron in tyrosine tRNA. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Catherine and Justin both won presentation awards at the 2025 MMG/MID retreat a few weeks ago! 👏🏼 way to go van Hooligans!
CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Lee-Ann Notice Sarpaning (PI: Ambro van Hoof) and Dr. Chioma Odo (PI: Samuel Shelburne) on their graduation yesterday. MID is proud of these young scientists👏! @MDA_UTHGrad @vanHooligans
Congratulations to Dr. Lee-Ann Notice-Sarpaning who successfully defended her PhD yesterday! We are so proud of you!
There’s no door decorating contest; we just like to be festive 🎅🏻🎄 last week before the holiday break! ✨
Congratulations to PhD student and vanHooligan Sayef on winning an award for the great talk he gave at the Texas branch of @ASMicrobiology and to the three other @MIDatGSBS students that won an award for their poster presentations.
MicroBOOology day!
The grad students are getting crafty for the MID MicroBOOology door decorating contest! ✂️🎨🖌️
