Congratulations to Qais and former lab member, Nathan Yu, on the publication of their RNABPP-PS study in PNAS! They found a new RNA modifying enzyme in B.subtilis that regulates ribosome assembly, protein translation, and cellular fitness. Nice work!

Welcome to Lauren McKinley and Sakshi Jain, two new postdocs that joined the lab in the last month!

Josh and Dhruv’s paper combining APEX proximity labeling with ribonucleoside LC-MS to spatially RNA modifications in cells is published in Cell Chemical Biology. Congrats to all! Also, here is a nice write-up by Wendy Plump.

Xuemeng’s paper on the metabolism of epigenetic ribonucleosides was publihsed in ACS Chem Bio. This was a collaboration between our group and the Rabinowitz and Brangwynne labs. Congrats to all the authors!

Congrats to Tanner Eggert on defending his PhD!

We welcome Inyoung Jeong as the newest graduate student in the group. Inyoung completed her undergraduate degree at Seoul National University and transferred to Princeton from UCBerkeley.

July was a busy month for the lab complete with two PhD defense. Congratulations to Jingwei!

We celebrated Xuemeng’s PhD defense today. Xuemeng gave an excellent seminar on her work complete with hand-drawn sketches!

We welcome Minjae Kim to the lab as a new postdoc. Minjae complete his PhD work in nucleoside medicinal chemistry at Seoul National University.

Congrats to Xuemeng for her recent paper in ACS Chemical Biology!
