Very thrilled to be able to share this preprint!

We found that the way TFAM interacts with UV-irradiated DNA is very different than how it interacts with non-irradiated DNA.

Check it out and read about our very cool high-throughout DNA binding arrays we used to map TFAM binding across the mitochondrial genome and see some stunning AFM images!

Tomorrow at 12pm ET! @DukeSuperfund trainee @dilloneking defends her dissertation on sex differences in mitochondrial function and susceptibility.

Come learn about her great work in-person at Field Auditorium or join by zoom! https://t.co/7n7W173UHR

@bevthescientist This is great, this field in particular really needs this! I will also shamelessly plug this article I wrote last year addressing this. https://t.co/CjbMxJNGMm

We are HIRING!

The Evans Lab is currently looking for a postdoc. If you are interested in mitochondria and neurodegeneration and want to work in a young and vibrant lab...you should join us!

Check out this great piece on making undergraduate cure courses! https://t.co/zBTDe4f2PE

Congrats to our current and former trainees @dilloneking and @TessLeuthner who presented their research at the International Conference on Environmental Mutagens in Ottawa this week! They're both doing awesome work on how environmental exposures can impact mitochondrial DNA

[Rose Schrott, PhD @roseschrott]

Excited to share my first postdoc publication! Novel approaches to identify epigenomic biomarkers of early-life exposure are needed. We review the role of DNAm as a useful exposure biomarker & highlight promising new directions for the field!

I’m very excited to share that my recent opinion piece “The inclusion of sex and gender beyond the binary in toxicology” is now published! A huge thank you to everyone who provided feedback for this piece. https://t.co/mZISHFci7R

[Martin Picard @MitoPsychoBio]

How does sex and gender get "under the skin" all the way to the mitochondria? Are mitochondria different between women and men, and are they shaped by sociocultural gender? A preliminary roadmap to integrate sex and gender in mitochondrial science: https://t.co/YM5nmWqwpt

[Dillon King, PhD @dilloneking]

@kmortpro @OdedRechavi Yes but I’m done now for real. No new projects

[Dillon King, PhD @dilloneking]

I’m a super proud mentor this week!

[Dillon King, PhD @dilloneking]

Come check out my amazing undergraduate student and her poster at #SOT2022! Her work focuses on investigating sex differences in mitochondrial function and susceptibility in C. elegans.

13 years since I published my first #Celegans paper
@ToxSci (https://t.co/9EPpOhXaza), I once again worked with @MeyerLabatNSOE and other colleagues to provide an update on the field (https://t.co/GmsXWuPFub). Looking forward to seeing more exciting #NAMs at #2021SOT!!!
