Proud to hood Sydney Tomlinson as she earned her PhD in Metabolic Biology at UC Berkeley. Sydney’s dissertation uncovered mechanisms for induced degradation of ER membrane proteins and advances our understanding of ER quality control.

Happy to have contributed to this preprint with Fangzhu Zhao and @realJimWells! LRP8-targeted bispecific antibody degraders degrade the selenium uptake receptor LRP8, reduce GPX4 / selenoproteins, and sensitize cancer cells to ferroptosis.

Some friendships just keep getting better with time. Really thankful for these guys, the conversations, the laughter, and the chance to slow down and enjoy an evening together. BFFs!☺️ @RobertoZoncu @RapeLab @DanNomura

Two historians, a biologist and a bioengineer from UC Berkeley have won illustrious Guggenheim Fellowships and will pursue independent work under “the freest possible conditions.” https://t.co/FfZXldTOZd

The first GLP-1 drug came from the Gila monster. But I think that is just one example of a much larger opportunity- harnessing natural products from extreme animals for human health. The feast-and-famine physiology of pythons is an ideal system to go fishing!! 🐍🐍🐍

[Rushika M. Perera @rushika_perera]

Honored to recieve the 2026 UCSF Byers Award in Basic Science. Eternally grateful to my mentors, colleagues and friends for your support and to all the past and present Perera Lab members to whom this honor is dedicated to 🙏🏽

After spending much of his career building microscopes, work that earned him The @NobelPrize in Chemistry for contributions to super-resolution microscopy, Eric Betzig (@UCBIDS @hhmi_science) is turning his attention to the data those instruments produce.
