illuminating dark drug and cancer targets, novel data science for protein structure informatics, molecular and cellular basis of pH sensing, synBio for health
7th MCP Retreat ✔️
“Colab in the Cays” | Florida Keys
53 talks. 15+ labs. Every participant presenting.
Two days of deep science, new connections, and serious inspiration.
Our department is doing truly cutting-edge work—and becoming more interconnected than ever. Events like this push both individual and team science forward.
Huge thanks to the organizers: @danIsomLab, Jennifer Arcuri, and @BurnsteinKerry. Already excited for the next one. 🌴🧬
From the one and only Jacob Rowe. An Editorial Pick which highlights top papers at the greatest @jbiolchem ! Check it out- this is molecular engineering at its best.
We just made an app that walks you through designing a novel protein with AI from scratch. Takes about 5 minutes, requires zero biology knowledge.

The best part: we will actually synthesize 1000 of those protein designs in the lab and test their real world function as a therapeutic.

And at @SylvesterCancer@umiamimedicine, Zheng Chen, Alejandro Villarino, Yan Guo, @PeterHoseinMD, & Oliver McDonald will study an enzyme that they believe may drive tumor growth and immune suppression in gastric cancers & could be a therapeutic target.

Thank you for the delicious birthday cake, Shraddha (the DAPI staining on the cells was spot on!), and gifts from Jen, Jacinda, Sam, and Kyutae❤️ Who doesn't love purple owls?
@MayorDaniella, this resilient elderly woman struggling to make it down the stairs because the elevator (visible) and down escalator at Dadeland South are broken. @FixMetroMDT @iheartmiami305
@MayorDaniella: this morning at Dadeland South. I didn’t take a photo of the disabled man arguing with security because he couldn’t get up the stairs. I am sure there is cc video of that if you want to see it. @FixMetroMDT@iheartmiami305
Please, @MayorDaniella, help address the recent dramatic and consistent disrepair of MetroRail elevators, escalators, and turnstiles at many stations. I believe someone in your administration is asleep at the wheel on this issue.
