Duronio Lab

Laboratory of Bob Duronio - @UNC Research interests: Epigenetic regulation of genome replication, histone mRNA biogenesis, and cell cycle plasticity

[Karlene Cimprich @KarleneCimprich]

Still thinking about @cshldnarep & the amazing science+people! Thanks to all participants - especially cochairs John (@DiffleyLab) and Bob (@DuronioLab) for their help. Time to step down but looking forward to the next with new cochair Agata Smogorzewska (@MaintainGenome)!

State of the Lab by @duronio_bob at the @DuronioLab retreat. 27 years, 25 grad students, 75+ undergrads, and a bunch of cool science! 🤯😀

[Megan Butler @meganbrienne]

Thanks for the ridiculously adorable photo display, super thoughtful and generous tour of Baltimore y’all planned for me, and for truly being the best lab I could’ve ended up in to start my scientific career. Love you all. See you soon. 🪰🥹🫶🏻 @DuronioLab

✨Harnessing the power of Drosophila✨ to ask Q's about the roles of canonical and variant histones in genome function and development.
A 🧵about this little journey, which was a pretty wonderful first project in the @DuronioLab and @DMcKay_Lab. 1/9

Very excited to share the work of @UNC_GMB graduate student @gene_marie_3 in her first, first-author paper now available in @GeneticsGSA. Fun collaboration with @DuronioLab!

Lab bucket list activity to help celebrate @acrain12’s wonderful thesis defense last week! Whoever thought of combining range golf with darts is an evil scientist genius.

[Megan Butler @meganbrienne]

Dr. Aaron Crain, everyone! I’m so grateful he was my first scientific mentor in the @DuronioLab, and I’m even more thankful to call him my friend. So earnest, compassionate, patient, and generous with his science, energy, and time. Watch out for this star, folks! @acrain12

Congrats to @miahoov23 who graduates from Carolina today! Mentored by @JamesKempJrPhD for her UG research; look out for their paper on HLBs later this year.

[Bob Duronio @duronio_bob]

Great to see my friend and long time colleague @mei_newt receive the 2023 Faculty Award for Excellence in Graduate Student and Academic Program Support for directing UNC’s @UNC_GMB PhD program! (With the support of the awesome John Cornett pictured with him of course!)

[Jeanne-Marie McPherson @gene_marie_3]

This one means a lot 🥲not funded on the first go around but stuck with it and here we are!
& a nice coincidence, the preprint of our manuscript stemming from aim 2 is now live on @biorxivpreprint! https://t.co/hCKbE1BwRt

[Megan Butler @meganbrienne]

Hey #Dros23 I’ll miss you. Thanks for the lovely new connections with the fly community, invigorating discussions about science, and unforgettable time with the @DuronioLab <3 I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this group of people.

[Mark Geisler @Histone_Mark]

If you like any combination of histones, gene regulation, pretty IF images, and the cell cycle stop by 459T today at #Dros23 🪰! I’ll be sharing some exciting findings from my work in the @DuronioLab on the negative regulation of histone genes!

[Duronio Lab @DuronioLab]

@DuronioLab, @McKayLab, and Matera Lab’s have arrived at #Dros23. Fresh off tacos and margaritas, looking forward to a great meeting! And Go ‘Heels on Saturday!!

[Jeanne-Marie McPherson @gene_marie_3]

Hot off the press!!
During my 1st yr rotations I took a 10-week deep dive into the world of nucleosome biochemistry while working with @a_skrajna in the McGinty Lab. Awesome to see some of the nucleosomes I made during that time used in this screen.

[Denise Montell @montell_denise]

Nice to see @NIH highlighting the value of small animals (not simple, not lower, not model) https://t.co/R6Rs5i7OCu

[Duronio Lab @DuronioLab]

Happy Holidays from the Duronio lab! Nothing like a lab party and gift exchange (with stealing of course) to get in the spirit!

[Pylayeva-Gupta lab @YPGlab]

Job alert! @UNC_Lineberger, in collaboration with @UNC_SOM and @UNC, is seeking outstanding candidates for faculty positions at all ranks in basic and translational cancer research. https://t.co/MDrG0S52YP #faculty #CancerResearch

[Megan Butler @meganbrienne]

So much @DuronioLab turnout to support our undergrad Lucy and all the other fantastic scientists! You can see me in the second photo having a proud TA moment as one of my former students shared his work with me :)
