So excited to see this announcement. Gary’s lab was right next door to my grad lab, and he chaired all my advisory committees throughout grad school.
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Check out our surprising finding in nuclear invagination's function: regulating ribosome biogenesis. Nuclear tunnels = more ribosomes! I am proud of my talented student @YinyinZhuang, and inspiring collaborators @wtzhaolab, @ChrisEMiles, and @razorenovalab!

I'm delighted to share my grad student Vini's publication! doi.org/10.1016/j.pneurobio.… (open access to all) One of the first major publications to come from my lab. He started off with a very basic question: how do neurons **sense** injury to their dendrites?
