Congratulations to Jingwei and Nathan on their paper in ACS Central Science!

Congratulations to Jennifer and team on their paper in Biochemistry profiling readers of oxidized RNA!

Congrats to Nathan and team on their preprint describing the role of human DUS proteins in translational regulation.

Congrats to Danyang on his bioRxiv preprint reporting a new method for RNA structure probing using metabolic labeling with 2′-aminocytidine.

We welcome Tyler Schwarz, our newest lab member, who joined the lab in September as a G1 in Chemistry.

We celebrated two PhD defenses in June and July. Crystal and Josh both defended and passed with flying colors. We are sad to see them go but wish them the best in their future pursuits!

The lab had several papers come out this summer. Misha and Danyang’s manuscript on oxaliplatin was published in Cell Chemical Biology and Josh’s TRIBE-ID paper was published in Nature Chemical Biology. Oh, and Ralph penned a review in ACS Chemical Biology on the lab’s work over the past several years. Congratulations to all!

Our collaborative work with the Hsu lab describing small molecule-modulators of RNA-protein granules is out in JACS. Congrats to Josh!

Our collaborative work with the Purse lab (SDSU) using metabolically incorporated fluorescent nucleosides for live-cell RNA imaging is published in JACS! Congratulations to Danyang, Emilia and the rest of the team!

Congrats to Emilia, Ang, Xuemeng, Tanner and Elisabeth on their paper in Nature Communications studying RNA 5-methylcytidine dioxygenase enzymes! Write-up on the Department website.
