Our most recent publication on anti-amyloid chaperone protein CsgC is out now! Special thanks to Sarabella for the JBC cover design which perfectly captures this work. Check it out here: https://t.co/U9KTx63WwP

I'm so fortunate to have great mentors who are superb human beings. Thanks to @mattchapman22 for a wonderful evening. It was great to catch up with @Chapman_Lab. Thanks to @caglatukel for this opportunity!!

I’m happy to announce that I successfully defended my Dissertation on Monday. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the defense, we had a packed house! And of course, thank you to everyone in the @Chapman_Lab for helping me finish this life goal. On to my next challenge!

I'm happy to announce that I've been awarded a Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship! Thank you to
@umichgradschool! Also, big thanks to the members of
@Chapman_Lab and @UMChemBio who have helped me get this far in my graduate studies. #UMChembio

The second publication this year for our graduate student @Abalist_chembio! He and Emily were able to put together a great review arguing for the importance of functional amyloids in cellular biology. Give it a read and let us know what you think!

First manuscript to leave the "Ant Farm", led by graduate student Anthony (Antz) @Abalist_chembio and highschool students Soorya and Ethan (now college bound).

All of our papers are awesome, but we're particularly proud of this work

[Chapman Lab @Chapman_Lab]

The news cycle with Covid-19 is confusing largely because it showcases how messy research is.

[Chapman Lab @Chapman_Lab]

What we learn from this is to not be too attached to any one answer early on that paints us into a corner.

More information makes our answers better.

It is on us all to think critically about new information and to ask the right questions.

So proud of this paper and all the hard work that went into this story. Bacterial curli fibers produced in the gut can accelerate alpha-syn aggregation in the brains of mice @Jain_Lab https://t.co/OyR7K0FSK0

Surprisingly on time! Wow! First time for everything at the #chapmanlabsymposium
