Excited to see that our review on tripwire effector-triggered immune sensing of viral proteases by CARD8 & NLRP1 is out! My first, first-author pub, and I was lucky to write it with @Daugherty_Lab and the support of fellow Daugherty Lab members.

Our paper on CARD8-mediated sensing of infection by SARS-CoV-2 (and other coronaviruses and picornaviruses) is now out in
@PLOSBiology
! https://t.co/7ro2yhrzVs…Huge congratulations to all involved! More info and thanks to our many collaborators are in the thread below:
New paper out in PNAS about how the ability of vertebrates to see is in part due to a gene we acquired from bacteria.

Huge congratulations and thanks to authors @ChinmayK98@AlexJohnWeitzel, and @BriBerryTea! More below: 1/
We rotate together, we join labs together, we get fellowships together! @andrew_kapinos is officially my PhD buddy for life and there’s no better way for us to do it than with @FabianRChavez and our incredibly supportive lab🥹
Our paper on "An ERAD-independent role for derlin Dfm1 in maintaining sphingolipid homeostasis" is now out in @embojournal! Congrats to co-first authors @SatarupaBhaduri and Analine Aguayo and a collaborative diverse team of folks from all levels https://t.co/uEhIWhVKZ2
Our paper using evolution to find an antiviral role and viral antagonism of NINL is now published in eLife! https://t.co/XuBvfF4Vo7
Fantastic collaboration with @SamReckPeterson, hopefully the first of many! Congrats to everyone, especially @dalexstevens and Chris Beierschmitt!
It’s takes a village to launch a dream program like @bummp_ucsd. An amazing team of leaders who will fight tooth and nail for normalizing the playing field in STEM. @CJ_Tara@ivyhcf96@ConnieFocal Alex Stream, Jason Avalos, Sumedha Ravishankar,and Bindhu Hosuru
New preprint out showing a cool new host- and virus-specific way that the immune system has evolved to sense coronavirus infection!

Congratulations to BioSci graduate student Lennice Castro and her advisor Matt Daugherty on receiving a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Gilliam Fellowship for their efforts tied to equity, diversity and inclusion. Read more: https://t.co/3tU49Fvxmw
I am a 2022 HHMI Gilliam Fellow! 🥳
Huge thanks to my amazing mentor Matt @Daugherty_Lab who believes in me even when my confidence falters. Thank you to lab mates + friends who foster an inclusive environment that has allowed me to thrive. WE DID IT! #GilliamFellows @HHMINEWS
Extremely proud of Lennice Castro @underthelenns (front and center in the photo below) for being named an HHMI Gilliam Fellow!
Grateful to HHMI for the opportunity to participate in this fantastic program! Congrats to all of the other awardees!

Thank you @Pasquinelli_Lab for a fun collaboration to identify RNAs bound by nuclear and cytoplasmic poly(A)-tail binding proteins. Features RiboSTAMP from our lab to measure differences in ribosome interaction frequencies between PABPC and PABPN. https://t.co/SGIBKeW7Zg
I was happy to get honorable mention last year, and I am THRILLED to say that after applying for the second time I have been awarded the Ford Predoctoral Fellowship!! 🥳
I couldn’t have done it without my amazing mentors, lab, and friends for providing me endless support. 🥺
