New @CellPressNews study by @Wagnerlab_RNA gives details about a regulator of Integrator Complex, which manages RNA production in cells. Misregulation of the regulator or Integrator impacts neuro development & cancers. Nice work team! 👇#URochesterResearch https://t.co/L72gsyuRlE

I'm very excited to share that I've accepted a Tenure Track Assistant Professor position in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of North Texas @UNTsocial , starting this fall! My new lab will study epigenetic regulation of gene expression during embryogenesis.

Led by @AVSamuelson @ThakarLab, a stellar grp of postdocs/grad students👇 identified a kinase (HPK-1) in C. elegans that helps maintain homeostasis & likely mitigates natural age-associated physiological decline-Cool work! @UofR @eLife #URochesterResearch https://t.co/P72v00Luye

"Overall, I have reassured confidence that I am capable and qualified to be a successful graduate student." - @JJ4Science on her PREP experience.

Read more about what our outgoing cohort has planned and, of course, welcome our new PREP students! https://t.co/uUxxWrWjb0

A team of Rochester researchers developed a new quantum simulation system using photonics-based synthetic dimensions that could be used to help explain complex natural phenomena. #URochesterResearch

Prof. Portman's recent research found that biological sex can act to regulate the way that neurons work. His lab works with 🪱C. elegans to understand genetic control of sex differences in neurobiology & disease. @URMCBMG

Thanks to @URochester_SMD @UR_Med for the support!

[URochester SMD @URochester_SMD]

New #URochesterResearch in @ScienceMagazine upends the idea that #CRISPR mounts its defense only by cutting RNA/DNA. It found a Cas protein works w/ a membrane protein 👇to stop infection in bacteria. What?? @mitchellrayoco1 @arica_vanderwal @kellogg_liz   https://t.co/cudOvRWIkq

Our very own, Alayna E. Loiselle, PhD, associate professor of Orthopaedics at URMC, has been awarded a five-year, $2.94 million NIH grant to study age-related impacts on tendon structure and function. Congrats, @Loisellelab! Way to go! #URochesterResearch

How does our brain simultaneously process external info- like 👁️👂🚶- & internal info?

@NathanASmith1 & co-authors in @TrendsNeuro believe astrocytes may play a key role.
