Really excited to share our preprint on #Galvanotaxis! We identify Galvanin, a membrane protein acting as an electric field sensor that guides cell migration. Check it out: https://t.co/ejJ6uyYKMu #CellBiology#CRISPRi#Migration (Thanks for the support @JCChildsFund and @NIGMS)
Happy to have this work out! Some of my postdoctoral work with Julie Theriot. https://t.co/vwdQeUKx1N (thanks for the support @JCChildsFund and @NIGMS)
Excited to share a new preprint! We do a pooled, imaged-based CRISPRi screen on the complex shapes and cytoskeletal structures of human U2OS cells:

Co-led with R. Lorenzo Labitigan in Julie Theriot's lab, with special shoutout to Cynthia Hao! 1/10
Swarming bacteria, when confined, form a 'single-swirl' coherent pattern, as opposed to confined planktonic bacteria, which form less organized 'multi-swirl' patterns. Another mesmerizing gem from Mani and Tang labs. https://t.co/Z1W3SpDHXL
Excited to share a major story from my PhD on @biorxivpreprint!
Molecular processes are stochastic and noisy! How do cells suppress this noise to perform robust behavior? We turned to the beautiful, smooth leading edges of migrating HL-60 cells. (1/7)

Although I believe in the preprint philosophy, it feels really good to finally have this paper out!

If you are interested in gene regulation and information processing in cells, you might want to check it out.
Proud to announce that SCHEEPDOG is out today in @CellSystemsCP feat. co-lead author @GawoonS, @Rossello_Alex, Linus Wang, and fearless leader @DJCohenEtAl!
Read on to see how we herd collective cell migration using electric fields!

Happy to share that my recent paper on CRISPR-tagging of actin got the cover of Cytoskeleton! Check it out at https://t.co/m6T7vxmTc2. Was a fun project with helpful contributions from many other members of Julie Theriot's lab (and honorary member / my husband, @bioSavinov !).
The 1st paper from my thesis is up on @biorXivpreprint!
Main question: how do skin cells know when (and where) injury has occurred nearby?
A 🧵 about how #zebrafish embryos sense wounds via osmotic AND electric cues, with plenty of cool movies! (1/12)
