Big day for the Corbett Lab! Dr. Maria Sterrett presents her public presentation in support of her thesis work! Student #26 from the lab, but they are all special. In Maria’s case, we share a passion for teaching and mentoring that has made this experience special! @EmoryBCDB

[Dr. Maria C. Sterrett, PhD @MariaCSterrett]

Impressive work led by the amazing @LaurynHigginson in the @DMortonPhD lab that checks all the boxes🤩
✅Cell specific transcriptomic changes from #disease mutations in the RNA exosome 🧠
✅Cool #RNA sequencing techniques 🔎
✅ #Drosophila model organism biology 🪰

Check it out!

[Dr. Derrick J. Morton @DMortonPhD]

🚨 The lab's first preprint is out! Led by rockstar graduate student @LaurynHigginson, we present the first cell-specific transcriptome analysis of the RNA exosome, a conserved RNase, in a fully developed Drosophila brain! #RNABiology #Neuroscience 🪰🧠 🧵 https://t.co/yEyyp4ifem

@ColbySchweibenz @ColbySchweibenz @TennessenLab this makes me so happy! Sounds like a great session 🙂

[Dr. Maria C. Sterrett, PhD @MariaCSterrett]

This project means so much to me as it represents the intersection between #mentorship, #RNAbiology and #STEMeducation across undergraduate and graduate programs! 😍 (3/3)

[Dr. Maria C. Sterrett, PhD @MariaCSterrett]

Extremely proud of my newest publication! Check out our study assessing a #cancer mutation in the #RNAexosome. Using #yeast we assessed how the disease-linked changes impact a highly conserved interaction of the complex! 🧬🧬🧬 (1/3)

[Dr. Maria C. Sterrett, PhD @MariaCSterrett]

This project idea originally came from a conversation after I presented work in @EmoryBCDB grad student seminar and much of the data was collected by a mentee for her @emorycollege student honors thesis! (2/3)

[Sarah Strassler @sarah_strass]

I’m honored to have been named the @EmoryBCDB Program Scholar of the Year last night! I’m so grateful to be part of such a supportive graduate program 🥰

I wrote an article for Science ATL to highlight the achievements of John Cornforth - just one of the many deaf scientist who has made incredible contributions to their field!

[Matthew Kan, MD, PhD @matthewjkan]

New review on CRISPR therapies by me and Jennifer Doudna. Written for gen med & students to explain how CRISPR works, new tools, current trials. We hope it inspires young docs & new therapies! @doudna_lab @igisci @ucsf @JAMANetwork #medtwitter
