Murat Can Kalem

Postdoc @UCSF Microbiology Dept. | Ph.D. from @UBuffalo | exploring post-transcriptional gene regulation in fungi

[Murat Can Kalem @muratcankalem]

📢My first article from grad school is available online. It is a story about how Puf4, an RNA binding protein, controls cell wall biosynthesis mRNAs and antifungal resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans. #mycology #fungalgenetics

@Maribelnm @UniversidadMH Congratulations Maribel! 🎉 So excited for you!!

[SheqLab @ShechnerLab]

Beyond thrilled to present our O-MAP—now *published* @naturemethods (!!!)

O-MAP is a powerful new method for biochemically "dissecting" the subcellular microenvironment around an RNA of interest, using off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. 🧵

Together with the talented biophysicist Iana Kalinina, @AlyssaHudson83 also captured binding of the TG11 antibody to growing #Rhizopus arrhizus spores live in a #microfluidics chamber. #mucormycosis https://t.co/VDfs2ZLSJH

[@[email protected] @BallouLab]

Today I'm delighted to share #mucormycosis #bioimaging work from Doctors @AlyssaHudson83 and Dora Corzo León (aka @forestcita), just published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases and funded by Noah's Pink Balloon Leukaemia Fund @NoahsPinkB https://t.co/W13FtUd4QQ

The selected candidate will work closely with me to explore post-transcriptional mechanisms (RNA structural elements, translation regulation, RNA decay...) involved in temperature sensing. This is an excellent position for a recent graduate with a bachelor's or a master's degree.

@JezewskiAndrew @EPICClemson Congratulations, Andrew! Super excited for you!

[Murat Can Kalem @muratcankalem]

Thank you, Asiya! Appreciate your support.

[Hailing Jin @hailingj1]

Excited to share our new work—Plant mRNAs,in addition to small RNAs, move into a fungal pathogen via #Extracellular Vesicles to reduce infection. Big thanks to ⁦⁦collaborators ⁦@ceiabreu⁩ &Paul Birch and great job ⁦⁦@shumeiwang5⁩ & team! https://t.co/ZbSqpH9Rgt

Here are our bibliometric estimates of the size of fields in medical mycology with candida > aspergillus > cryptococcus. For some perspective - the size of the tuberculosis field is larger than all of medical mycology. @dragotakes

Don't underestimate fungi

This is one of the biggest fungal outbreaks we've seen

Almost 50,000 student workers across the University of California system are striking for livable wages and job security. Student workers are essential; their success is everyone's success. I stand in solidarity with the strike—despite my very small stature.
