Reposting my offer for 1-1 mentoring for anyone… email me and we'll find a time! Especially happy to talk with those from diverse backgrounds and non-traditional career trajectories.
Really cool work from @thehornerlab.bsky.social and colleagues highlighting a role for the UFMylation post-translational modification system in flavivirus viral particle production!
Congrats to Julian and others from @ramlabuw.bsky.social on this cool work that finds that the loss of the RNA-binding protein CELF2 leads to accumulation of endogenous RIG-I ligands! #RNA #innateimmunity #IFNs
I'm thrilled to announce I'll be joining the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at the University of Florida in January 2026! My lab will study RNA virus-host interactions with a particular focus on the spatial regulation of viral replication and innate immune activation. genoyerlab.com

We have an open faculty search for TWO positions in microbiology and virology at the University of Illinois! We have world class core facilities and a fantastic collaborative group of young faculty...you could be next!
Please re-post/skeet!
Last Saturday morning ☕ saved for this gem:

CRISPR screening reveals TRIM25 as a pH-sensitive sensor that specifically targets foreign RNAs entering through endosomes. N1-methylpseudouridine helps repel TRIM25 binding & enhances protein production.
Check out our new publication, a collaboration with Giovanni Luchetti and Vishva Dixit @ Genentech.
We show that the E.coli effector NleL inhibits intestinal epithelial cell extrusion after #inflammasome activation via degrading the kinases ROCK1 and 2!!

If you want to know what 3′UTRs with long conserved sequence stretches do, check out our BioRxiv preprint doi.org/10.64898/202....
They form functional intermolecular 3′UTR-3′UTR interactions that enable co-folding of proteins to rapidly induce transcriptional programs.
