We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to investigate mechanisms of DNA damage response, APOBEC-mediated mutagenesis, innate immunity, and double-stranded RNA sensing. Located in Southern California, UCI offers an outstanding scientific environment and exceptional quality of life.
Many thanks to @pedroorteg.bsky.social for leading this work, and to @johnmaciejowski.bsky.social and the Abby Green Lab for their contributions to the story.
A beautiful News & Views by @unterholznerlab.bsky.social highlighting our latest paper in @natsmb.nature.com, where we show that transcription stress triggers an inflammatory response through the release of IL-1α. rdcu.be/ehkTV
Today, we report that APOBEC3B targets unprotected single-stranded DNA at replication forks upon ATR inhibition, triggering a reaction cascade involving UNG2 and APE1 that leads to fork collapse and hyperactivation of PARP1, causing replication catastrophe.

Today, we report our new study demonstrating that PACT functions as an inhibitor rather than an activator of PKR, and works together with ADAR1 to suppress aberrant activation of PKR by self-derived double-stranded RNA. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very sad to read about the science funding situation in the US at the moment. I am waiting for some funding decisions in the coming weeks, but I will likely have opening(s) in my lab in Switzerland in the coming weeks (PhD student/postdoc). As a PhD candidate, you need to have a Master's degree.
