Given recent news, I cannot in good conscience continue to use X. I have migrated to Bluesky (bsky.app/profile/amirbi…) and hope you'll follow me there! I plan to close my X account within the next week
Shame on @nytimes for normalizing, even slightly romanticizing an activity as reckless as approaching the ocean during a tsunami warning. What if the waves had materialized? Nobody could have saved these people.. nytimes.com/2024/12/05/us/…

This article is technically correct but way over the top There is still zero evidence of person to person spread of avian flu Yes a lot of testing remains to be done and we’ll know more soon And it is possible there was human to human transmission But right now? Not much

Highly recommend auditioning!
Excited to announce that the Shakhnovich Biophysics Lab @HarvardCCB is now on Twitter! Follow us for lab-related news, interesting science, and new publications. Stay tuned and join our scientific journey! 🧬🧪🔬
Great and accessible feature on the ways in which AlphaFold has, and hasn't solved the protein folding problem

Was wonderful and nostalgic to visit my former choir, @LongwoodChorus last night. They sound amazing (check out their coming May concerts in Boston!) and are doing great work combining music and medicine. Thanks @jeremyfaust for letting me come by!
Expressing my true Bostonian roots in my mass spec sample naming conventions (To my labmates reading, not to worry, this is MilliQ water!)
Excited to share a review I wrote on co-translational protein folding, now published in Current Opinion in Systems Biology! Many thanks to my fantastic co-authors Will Jacobs and my former doctoral advisor Eugene Shakhnovich: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Congratulations Prof Eugene Shakhnovich for being named a 2024 Society Fellows by the @BiophysicalSoc! Read more about the honor here: biophysics.org/news-room/biop…
My latest PhD paper combines experiments and simulations to investigate how a crucial protein in SARS-CoV-2, the RBD, attains its structure and avoids potentially detrimental misfolded states. Thanks to my fantastic co-authors Kibum Park, @EuSerebryany, and Eugene Shakhnovich

Using a combination of experiments and simulations, scientists unveil that pre-existing disulfide bridges avoid non-native misfolding and aggregation and facilitate the native folding of the SARS-CoV2 RBD. ow.ly/7AXI50PBYHG
