Happy to share that my final paper from grad school is out in @BiochemistryACS! We investigate how mutations at VLP assembly interfaces affect particle size, stability, and biological function. https://t.co/trQ8P3D6mb

Virus-like particle engineering:

@PaigePistono et al merge capsid mutations that enhance uptake with a mutation that switches particle geometry, with unexpected outcomes.

Thank to you everyone who helped put on another amazing EYH conference on Saturday! We listened to Dr. Hannah Larson talk about her path towards a career as a math professor, and students participated in workshops ranging from Bubble Bonanza to The Wacky Geometry of Earth.🧪👩‍🔬🔬

[EYH at Berkeley @EYHatBerkeley]

Thank you to everyone who donated to our crowdfunding campaign this year! We raised $7,280, which was 145% of our goal. We are looking forward to another amazing conference in March!

[EYH at Berkeley @EYHatBerkeley]

Help inspire the next generation of female scientists, engineers, and mathematicians! We are asking for your donations so we can offer conference scholarships, ensuring that the conference remains accessible to all young women. Thank you for your support! https://t.co/FFce5OzIaJ

EYH is a STEM conference for girls that I attended at UW-Madison in 5th grade, and now I'm starting my 5th year with the planning committee as Event Chair at Berkeley. We are aiming to raise $5000 in funding this year. Please consider donating! https://t.co/x57UUXuPyo

Can't wait for #ACSFall2023 next week!

[Francis Group 🧪 @GroupFrancis]

Come check out our work in the Francis Lab at #ACSFall2023! 🌁🏙🧪🧫

[Paige Pistono @PaigePistono]

Had a great time at CBBA day on Saturday learning about everyone’s awesome science, and hearing @CarolynBertozzi give an amazing lecture (as usual)!

[Francis Group 🧪 @GroupFrancis]

Chem Bio in the Bay Area (CBBA) day this weekend featuring a talk on MS2 fitness landscaping from @PaigePistono and the lab meeting Carolyn Bertozzi ���

[Chemistry Grad Life Committee @ucbglc]

Ready to celebrate being done with one more year of your PhD? Come grab dinner with the rest of your cohort and catch up on all the tea you have missed this past year! (I see you all post-qual grads). Please RSVP: https://t.co/ZJ3JV3R0AT

[Francis Group 🧪 @GroupFrancis]

Hot off the presses, some antibody modification chemistry with our colleagues at Merck and the @Toste_Group!

@GroupFrancis @paigeo78, Huang, @Brauer_DD @UCB_Chemistry designed locally supercharged MS2-based VLPs with improved cell uptake properties. https://t.co/K2QVaBQ5HL

[EYH at Berkeley @EYHatBerkeley]

Thank you to everyone who donated to our crowdfunding campaign! We raised $5110 which gives 300+ girls the opportunity to attend EYH 2023 this coming March. (1/3)

[Francis Group 🧪 @GroupFrancis]

Congrats to Paige and the team---Excited to share our latest application of fitness landscaping!

[Paige Pistono @PaigePistono]

Thanks especially to Paul, @Brauer_DD, and Matt, and everyone else from @GroupFrancis for making this possible!

[Paige Pistono @PaigePistono]

I'm excited to share that my 1st first-author paper is out now in ACS Chemical Biology! We've engineered MS2 VLPs with localized positive surface charge that show increased uptake into mammalian cells and can be used to deliver small molecule therapeutics. https://t.co/W8nhHu127f

[Chemistry Grad Life Committee @ucbglc]

First-years, please join us for the last FYI of the semester! Dr. Honigman (CAPS) will present on grad student mental health, followed by small group discussions & check-ins with your peers.

The FYI will be on 11/29 at 2 PM in Tan 775 or on Zoom. RSVP: https://t.co/KgWXRozJd5

We have been using Golden Gate cloning since the @cidar_lab MoClo toolkit came out; since then, loads of new kits and standards have been published. @JasBird1223 and @andrewgiachino have a new review out surveying the current state of Golden Gate: https://t.co/3jGv4hUw1N
