Extremely proud of JJ: first Ph.D. exit seminar of the Heffern Lab. It is hard to say goodbye to the 1st generation of students, but it also reinforces the awesome job I have to raise scientists who will do more than I can alone. Congrats @JustinOSulliv17!! #asstproflife

[Madeline Bright @Maddy__Bright]

Officially a future DoubleDoc!
So many mentors got me to where I am today and the opportunity to choose @ZuckerSoM for the next 7 years. Special shout out to @David_lab_UCD showing me I can't live without research.

If you're interested in DNA polymerase mechanism, check out our latest perspective from @Freudlab and @WashingtonUiowa published in @COSB_CRSB.

We highlight new insights into DNA polymerase mechanisms provided by time-lapse X-ray crystallography!

[Dana Sowa @danajsowa]

Happy to announce that our research focused on understanding the interaction between DNA repair proteins Ku and LigD has been published in nucleic acids research! Thank you to @monicamwarner for her contributions to the project and @structureSara for her amazing mentorship! 🤩

BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

[Alexandra Pike @amimspike]

In our recent preprint, we tested the requirements for the ssDNA-binding protein RPA in different stages of eukaryotic DNA replication…

I have an NIH/VA-funded postdoc position available in my lab to study UV DNA damage responses in non-replicating cells and in human skin from young vs. geriatric individuals. Please share!

[Mekedlawit Setegne @MekedlawitTS]

Happy to announce that we won Best Poster at the 1st annual @QBI_UCSF Bay Area Chemical Biology Symposium. So proud to represent @FangFangShen1 , @lmkdassama, Liting, @lisha_ou , @JeandeleElliot, and I's work on targeted delivery and degradation of "undruggable" proteins in SCD!

[Orlando D. Schärer @orlandoscharer]

Excited to share our new preprint reporting an HPLC-MS based approach to quantify cisplatin DNA intrastrand crosslinks in cells. Fantastic effort by postdoc Arnie Groehler to develop a new tool to investigate the basis of resistance to cisplatin therapy

[Nina Perryman @NinaHoward92]

my favorite thing about getting my PhD at UCD was quite literally the friends i made along the way. @JoePerryman1 and i were in the same cohort. 6 yrs later, we were married by his PhD advisor @Velazquez_Lab with 4 UCD grad students standing beside me. grad school isn’t all bad!

[Julian Grünewald @grunewaju]

Extremely excited to kickstart my lab @TU_Muenchen with Emmy Noether support from @dfg_public. I’m very grateful to @JKeithJoung, my friends in Boston, and to A. Moretti, K.L. Laugwitz & C. Kupatt in Munich.
More details & website coming soon. #CRISPR 🫀

The UC Davis Chemistry Department is looking to hire a new inorganic tenure track Assistant Professor! For more information on this position use the following link. https://t.co/U8NKShcenH

[Kurumizaka Lab @KurumizakaLab]

Our latest paper on pioneer transcription factor p53 is out. In this paper, we reported the cryo-EM structures of p53 bound to the nucleosome, in which nucleosomal DNAs are partially released from the octameric histone core.
