So glad to be invited to speak at the FASEB Protein Aggregation: Polymorphic Species conference - a real privilege to be among such thoughtful voices. Thank you for having me and I am looking forward to the conversations. events.faseb.org/event/protein-…
Recently out! An awesome commentary on our bacterial ESCRT-III work rdcu.be/ei98N - big thanks to John McCullough and Wes Sundquist for this. And of course big shout out to #NSMB for the tasty cover!
We developed a new siRNA drug candidate for prion disease, a @broadinstitute / @RTI_UMassChan collaboration. We now have an open IND meaning FDA has given us permission to start first-in-human trials. Work remains before trials can launch. The full update: cureffi.org/2025/04/14/ope…
If you crave to prove your beloved hypothesis, you'll always find a way to do so - and you'll *almost* always be wrong. (For the same reason, even the most brilliant intuition will never be as powerful as hypothesis-free genome-wide perturbation).
Apply by 18 May 2025! mankalab.org/blog/fully-fun…
Thanks @ISN_society for the shoutout and great summary! linkedin.com/posts/internat…
This may be the structural basis for interspecies transmission barriers, but it also suggests that these barriers are not absolute, and can be overcome.
This may be the structural basis for interspecies transmission barriers, but it also suggests that these barriers are not absolute, and can be overcome.
In this narrative review at @JNeurochem I propose that independent misfolding subdomains in PrP of different host species support prion diversity lacking any universally conserved conformational motifs across those species. Check it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
