Fun with OCC students!
We had a great time hosting Onondaga Community College students Amina and Sam in the lab this week, courtesy of the NSF. Both had great hands as well as wonderful curiosity and excitement about research, proteins, phase separation and connections to diseases. Congratulations on giving awesome first presentations! Good luck with your last semester at […]

Our paper on the effects of polyUb chains on UBQLN2 LLPS is on bioRxiv!
We are very excited to share our work on the molecular mechanisms for how polyUb chains can either promote or inhibit UBQLN2 phase separation. Read more here.

Congratulations to Dr. Yiran Yang!
Yiran successfully defended her PhD thesis! She will stay with us for a little longer to finish up her papers! Congratulations Yiran.

Carlos speaks at PHASage.
It was a pleasure to discuss our work on the molecular mechanism of how polyUb chains modulate UBQLN2 LLPS at PHASage and to hear so many fascinating stories. Great few days of LLPS science!

Carlos speaks at IDPseminars.
It was a great honor to be invited to share our work on the LLPS-modulating interactions between the IDRs and folded domains of UBQLN2. Thank you Magnus and Alex for having me. There might be a great collaboration as a result. Stay tuned!

Our paper on how ALS-linked mutations affect the assembly of stress-induced UBQLN2 condensate in cells is published in Journal of Neurochemistry!
Congratulations to Jules, Peter (Hehnly lab) and Amber! Read more about this work here!

Our paper on how interactions between folded domains and IDR regions of UBQLN2 modulate LLPS is published in Protein Science!
Congratulations to authors Tongyin and Sarasi. Check out the paper here!

Congratulations to Dr. Tongyin Zheng!
Tongyin successfully defended his thesis to become the first Ph.D. student from the lab to graduate. Tongyin will soon join the Fawzi lab at Brown University for more NMR and protein LLPS. Good luck, Tongyin!

Congrats to Jules Riley ’20 on winning a NSF fellowship!
We just found out that our stellar undergrad Jules (graduated in May 2020) was selected to receive a prestigious NSF graduate research fellowship! She is currently part of the UPenn Neuroscience PhD graduate program, completing her rotations. CONGRATS JULES!

Our collaborative paper with the Hanes and Cosgrove groups on Ess1 is published in Commun Biol!
This work was a very successful collaboration between our lab and the Hanes and Cosgrove groups at SUNY Upstate Medical University. Our contributions include all things NMR related, led by grad student Tongyin. Read more about this cool story here.
