This month's faculty focus interview features Bronwyn Lucas!
On running a lab: "It’s about equipping the people in my lab to tackle challenges & mentoring them as they develop their own approaches."

Congrats to MCB's Bronwyn Lucas @bronwynalucas and Ziyang Zhang @bignerdzzy on being among the 2024 #NIHHighRisk New Innovator Awardees! @NIH_CommonFund 👏🎉https://t.co/yb9NcofEqm
1/8 ❄️🔬Excited to share our latest work published in @NatureComms! Led by @kaitlyn_m_abe and in colab with @GrantCryoEMLab, we've discovered a simple, cost-effective way to mitigate sample damage at the air-water interface during grid preparation. #CryoEM https://t.co/4Iui3Ita1k
Check out the latest story from the Sternberg group: phages coopted transposon-encoded nucleases (TnpB) and repurposed them for regulation of host genes!

Thrilled to see this work in print, & a huge thanks to my amazing co-authors!!
Congrats to MCB's David Savage @SavageCatsOnly on his promotion to Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology! 👏🥂 https://t.co/B5OJ0KiTdH
Recently, @KimiHerath, Matthew, and I were lucky enough to become the Lucas labs (@bronwynalucas) first graduate students. We‘ll be spending the summer finding proteins inside cells, learning and raiding the stellar snack cupboard at the @cziscience imaging institute
Cellular repair of DNA breaks enables editing of the human genome.
Do human cells repair RNA breaks, and can we use it to edit transcriptomes?
Our work with @ANemudraia and @WiedenheftLab is now online in @ScienceMagazine!

What limits rubisco function? Is it the chemical mechanism? Evolution? In an updated pre-print @prywes et. al explore this question by assaying >99% of single amino acid mutants in Form II rubisco (1/7)
New preprint! @ben_a_adler and I @doudna_lab, in collaboration with @Emy_nim and @JoePogliano, unveil a mechanism for Hachiman immunity. The punchline - Hachiman is a genome integrity sensor. @UCB_Chemistry@igisci @HHMINEWS

The Santiago-Frangos lab is open and ready to do some exciting research on CRISPR biology and CRISPR applications!
Ecstatic to be on UPenn's campus amongst such a supportive group of excellent scientists!🤓
Our team at #CZImagingInstitute is excited to share the #CryoET Data Portal beta release.
With over 13,000 tomograms, it’s the start of what we hope will be a large, open-access portal of high-quality, standardized & annotated cryo-ET data.

Please join me in congratulating @dominick_faith on advancing to PhD candidacy! Congrats Dom!
Special thanks to @WiedenheftLab for joining us from Montana State this morning
📢I'm hiring! Postdocs, PhDs, and Research Techs at Dept. of @PennBiology at @Penn! We'll use bioinformatics 🖥️, biochem 🧪, and cryo-EM ❄️🔬, to study how CRISPR systems work & applications. Work on cool science with a supportive mentor!
