🚨New preprint! ❄️🧊 How does TRPM8 sense cold/menthol? We combine cryoEM and HDX-MS to uncover the hidden dynamics that drive cold activation. A great case where thermodynamics + structures together uncover conformational landscape & function. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Dynamic allostery drives autocrine and paracrine TGF-β signaling: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/… A new dynamic allostery model of avb8 mediated TGF-b activation, result of a 10+ year collaboration with Steve Nishimura lab at UCSF. Congratulation to MJ, Rob and all co-authors!
Dr. @yifan_ucsf is our 5th guest on #ThePlungePodcast with Dr.'s @mcianfro, @kellogg_liz and @mimi1inh! Tune in today to hear about his unique path from #semiconductor #physics to #cryoEM. bit.ly/3uWf8Dy
No two #cryoEM careers are the same. Tune into episode 5 of #ThePlungePodcast featuring @UCSF professor Dr. @yifan_ucsf and his trajectory from a degree in #physics, to an x-ray lab, then on to electron #microscopy and cryo-EM! bit.ly/3FpbtmE
2022 Berlin marathon, 25 minutes to start! Kipchoge will lead the pack
San Francisco marathon! Ran with buddy and lab members! A beautiful day and a beautiful race!
I am looking for a PhD student and a postdoc to join my lab @BIO_UCPH to work on developing polymers for native nanodiscs and transporters. 🧪❄️🔬 Read more and apply here: hautzen.com/openings
