Our postdoc Chun Yang got awarded this year's S. Walter Englander Prize for Postdoctoral Research from @BB_UPenn. It's a nice combination of biochemistry and cryo-EM as well as yeast genetics from the Kaplan lab @TriggerLoop .

Congrats @TriggerLoop and @PennMurakamiLab on transcription start site scanning and contributions from everyone’s favorite general transcription factor TFIIH https://t.co/0lCF2VpkoS
Humbly sharing my first author paper, Structure of Hir histone chaperone complex. (yeast version of HIRA) Collaborative work from Murakami Lab, @MarmorsteinLab, @GarciaLabMS, @TriggerLoop and thanks for @bradyajohnston's MolecularNode. https://t.co/Ref5ekFtZS open access.
A great new review from our amazing @BMBGGUPENN PhD student Leon Palao III, highlighting the use of combining cryo-ET and single particle analysis to investigate structurally heterogeneous DNA-protein assemblies!

Happy Monday! Next up for our member spotlights we have our Social Chair, Leon Palao III! He is a 2nd year student in @BMBGGUPENN and is mentored by Kenji Murakami and @yiweichang. His favorite spot on @Penn's campus is Penn Park! And, he loves @sacnas's community outreach!
Our new study led by @BMBGGUPENN grad students @josejgorbea & Leon Palao III combining cryo-EM single particle analysis and single particle cryo-ET to understand the structure and activity of transcription pre-initiation complex on a divergent promoter! https://t.co/RYmIpSoNqk
