Awesome work! Still so much to learn about ribosome hibernation!
Here is a link to my student Mitch's final published paper on the activity of Rad51 and Rad54 during the homology search.

How does a DNA repair enzyme find a needle in a haystack? 🧬
Our latest paper in NAR, led by the one and only C-trap queen Kaitlin Dehart, uses single-molecule imaging to watch APE1 scan DNA and lock onto AP-sites. @lumicks.bsky.social

Happy to share that I will be joining the Biology Department and Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at University of Iowa as an assistant professor in summer 2027! My lab will study how recombination is regulated to prevent non-allelic repair and genome rearrangements, and their relation to cancer.
I’m so honored to be included in this Hypothesis Fund cohort and grateful for this investment in our research! 🥲
5/ Awardee @heatherfeaga.bsky.social is investigating how bacteria decide when to go dormant💤 (ie, form spores). Her project could lead to important new advancements in the management of spore-forming bacteria in the environment, hospitals, & food supply.
🎉 Congrats Dr. Feaga!
