The first paper from our lab is now out in peer-reviewed form @LSAjournal. Huge congratulations to the first author Mary Bergwell, @STEMinistSkater, now in grad school at UPenn, and second author @JY_Park102! I am very proud of their hard work. They even let me do a few expts!

Can't wait to try this out. Seems like a very simple (yet elegant) adaptation to our CUT&Tag protocols that we should be able to implement immediately.

Fingers crossed for everyone with NIH grants in the system

I am honored to receive this prestigious award in honor of Dr. Neufeld, with Dr. Tamar Harel. A heartfelt thank you to @usisraelbsf .

This looks really cool

Great @SACNAS #NDiSTEM2024 meeting in Phoenix this year representing @OMRF and @OUHSC_Grad So many inspiring students. Till next time!

Today, we announced that the first patient has been dosed with FHD-909 in the Phase 1 trial for SMARCA4 (BRG1) mutated cancers, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as the primary target patient population. Read the announcement to learn more: bit.ly/3NkA4NH

Our collaborative work with the @NAT_machinery lab on NAA80 is now published in @LSAjournal. Actin is a critical component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, it undergoes unique N-terminal processing by dedicated enzymes, resulting in a mature, acidic, and acetylated form. In humans, NAA80 catalyzes N-terminal acetylation, the final step in this process. To investigate the loss of NAA80 function, our labs created zebrafish models for Naa80. Our findings demonstrate that zebrafish Naa80 acetylates various forms of actin, including muscle and non-muscle actins, and plays a crucial role in normal hearing.

Congrats Sedona! Can't wait to see what your group accomplishes.

A win for basic science

Welcome Zach!

Constant work-in-progress and always happy to share! chorylab.com/lab-handbook

Excited to share the first part of my PhD work, revealing a major role for HIRA-mediated histone H3.3 deposition in maintaining 3D organization of active chromatin across scales, supervised by @GAlmouzni in collaboration with @mamartirenom @leonidmirny biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Point of View: Applied research won’t flourish without basic science doi.org/10.7554/eLife.102368 From leaders at the NIH! This is absolutely true and we need more support from Congress to allow for exploration and fundamental studies.
