Hello San Francisco! I’m excited to be back on the west coast at #bps2026 for the great science and community.
I’ll be sharing some of the lab’s recent work and chairing the Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Platform Session on Monday at 10:45 in Rooms 209/210/211.
Hope to see you there!

Congratulations @castanedalab.bsky.social on this beautiful work! 👏🏻 This is a must read for #IDP enthusiasts. We discussed this work as a preprint in our lab journal club and it was a fan favorite that provides exciting new insights into how multivalent interactions control biology.

I am SO incredibly excited to announce the launch of a global list of Inspiring Black Scientists. You can use this list to nominate and connect with researchers. Please share and join us in highlighting these outstanding scientists for #BlackHistoryMonth and beyond!

I am recruiting postdoctoral fellows to develop new research directions in the lab. We study transcriptional regulation through biomolecular condensates in development and disease, with an emphasis on first-principles and mechanistic discovery. Please repost or share with colleagues.

This work was led by Jamie and Emma, two outstanding early stage graduate students, with support from rotation student (and former tech) Garrett and Stu from the UNC Biomolecular NMR core. Please join me in congratulating them for their first (of many) papers from our group!🎉

New preprint alert! We share some of our recent insights about sequence similarity in IDP protein families and find that conservative substitutions in well-conserved binding motifs of the CITED proteins have big impacts on their ensembles and functions. Take a look!

Happy Holidays from the Berlow Lab! I'm incredibly grateful to be closing out this year with such a hardworking, fun, and collaborative team.
We are already looking forward to sharing some exciting updates in the new year, so stay tuned for lots of great science (and more) in 2026!
Hey all, I reached out to the PO of my NIGMS MIRA to ask if the gov't shut down, and rescheduling of study sections, might allow for some accommodation to the standard rule that PIs cannot resubmit a MIRA while their MIRA (or other RPG) is under review (waiting in scores or summary statements) 🧪

Yesterday I joined a panel hosted by our local radio station to discuss the impacts of the many policy changes of 2025 on research, education, and community engagement. Thanks @wchlchapelboro.bsky.social for keeping our community informed about these important topics!

We’re proud to celebrate the outstanding Student Talks in our Scientific Communication class (BIOC710)! Olivia Maurer, Emily Sipko, and Gisselle Prida—shared their research with clarity and confidence which displayed the power of science communication and the incredible work happening in our labs.

It was a big day for the Berlow Lab at the BCBP departmental retreat last week. I am incredibly proud of Emily Sipko and Jamie Do for giving such wonderful presentations about their research and being recognized for their excellence in research and communication by our peers. Congratulations!!! 🎉

Announcing our 2025 Biochemistry and Biophysics Retreat Presentation Winners Emily Sipko from the Berlow lab won best talk: "Atomic-level insights into the roles of the intrinsically disordered proteins c-Myc and CITED2 in regulating gene expression" Jamie Do from the Berlow lab won best poster: "Characterizing the sequence determinants for multivalent interactions of the CITED intrinsically disordered proteins with the transcriptional activators CBP/p300"
Announcing our 2025 Retreat Presentation Winners
Emily Sipko won best talk and Jamie Do won best poster! Congratulations! 1/3
I am incredibly excited to share our lab’s recent work at the upcoming Intrinsically Disordered Proteins GRC! Many thanks to the organizers for the invite. We look forward to seeing all of our IDP friends there! #IDPGRC2026

🎉Excited to announce that Dr. Rebecca Berlow @berlowlab.bsky.social
will speak in the “Disorder in Pathogens” session at #IDPGRC2026!
The Berlow lab uses solution NMR and biophysical approaches to uncover how IDP sequence, dynamics & function drive transcriptional regulation.
The damage to science is irreparable. Scientists who are valuable are leaving now. This offered some hope, but now it’s clear reason has completely gone out the window.
A sad day for science.
For local people impacted by the storm: please call 211 for resources. They did not have any information a couple days ago, but they have now partnered with companies like Airbnb to offer temporary housing and other relief.

My dear friends and neighbors have been displaced from their home in Chapel Hill due to flooding from Sunday night’s storm. The number of families displaced by the floods are being hugely underreported and many people in our community need our help. Please help if you can.

It also includes search committee positions, review requests, letters of recommendation, P&T reviews (so, so many of these post tenure)—it goes on and on. And the social penalties for women saying no are so dramatically higher than when men say no.

The @berlowlab.bsky.social kicking off the next session at #PS39
If you missed his talk, Jake Simmons and Jamie Do of the Berlow lab will both be presenting posters at the afternoon session!
It’s been a very busy month but it is never too late to celebrate Jake Simmons and his advancement to candidacy in the @unc-bcbp.bsky.social PhD program.
Congratulations Jake! We are all very proud of you and can’t wait to see where your creativity and drive leads you on your scientific journey.
