I am looking to recruit 2 postdoctoral fellows to the lab to work on a recently funded project focused on class switch recombination in B cells. If you are interested in immunology, gene expression, and RNA and protein single molecule imaging, please reach out ([email protected]). Please share!

My lab is currently recruiting 2(!!) postdocs in RNA structural biology/biochemistry! Full details can be found below and on our website (sites.lsa.umich.edu/keane-lab/op...).
Our new paper is out! Using 19F NMR, we show that Hfq rewires the conformational dynamics of a model sRNA in a site-specific manner. Uridines at the rim undergo faster exchange (~100 μs) than those in the proximal pore (~300 μs). Congrats Elise! 🎉🎉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

As baseball season ramps up, it is time to re-post my favorite inspirational quote of all time from the great Mets left fielder and philosopher, Mookie Wilson.
Very proud of UGs Sydney and Jocelyn. Sydney was awarded a GRFP and Jocelyn received an honorable mention! Both are off to Princeton for grad school this fall!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Biochemist/molecular biologist Joan Steitz was born #OTD in 1941.
She (& team) figured out how our cells read/use genetic instructions to make proteins. A key person who helped crack the code on RNA—the molecule that acts like a messenger between DNA & and the proteins our bodies need. #WomenInSTEM
