#PhF25 predoc awardee Anh Cong @MayoGradSchool is researching how to protect the heart during #chemotherapy. She's studying the proteins targeted by anthracyclines, which are effective against #cancer but can cause heart issues.

Topobexin is an inhibitor that targets Topoisomerase IIβ's ATPase domain—protecting the heart from anthracycline chemo damage without reducing anticancer power. Read our article about this potentially game-changer in cardio-oncology @natcomms.nature.com https://t.co/Iy9LYen8pB.
Endoxifen is known to be a more potent inhibitor of ER alpha compared to tamoxifen. Based on an unbiased proteomic screen, we identify protein kinase beta as a new endoxifen drug target, resulting in suppression of AKT signaling and apoptosis

We are so excited to present “Structural insight and characterization of human Twinkle helicase in mitochondrial disease” in @PNASNews https://t.co/NONARu3nHT
Alpha fold definitely has its uses, it’s great starting model, but then there’s oligomerization, conformational change, protein-to-protein interactions. We aren’t out of a job! #structuralbiology
One of my fav lab hacks: store your E coli pellets in freezer bags. They freeze in 5 mins, resuspend in under 3 mins (in the bag!), take up less freezer space, and don't waste conical tubes!
