Had a great time at the SMART International Symposium on Protein Sciences in Shenzhen last week.
Really impressed by the students, their projects, curiosity, and sharp Q&A questions.
What’s happening in China right now feels like a major shift in academic research (and clearly beyond).
The deadline for applying to the open postdoc position in our lab is coming up!
Reach out if you have questions about the project, our lab and ISTA!
Huntingtin binds and bundles F-actin!
Thrilled to team up with the Humbert (Sorbonne Université) and Song (KAIST) labs on this discovery.
We had a blast doing cryo-ET on this unexpected complex — and now so many new questions lie ahead!
