Trump freezes $200 million in UCLA science and medical research funding, citing antisemitism The Trump administration has frozen roughly $200 million in National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and other federal agency-funded research at UCLA, citing allegations the school discriminates in admissions and has failed to protect the civil rights of Jewish students.

Thank you Luis!

Thank you Antje!

Thank you Joachim!

Excited to join you at UCLA!

Thank you Zikang!

Thank you Sam!

My lab is opening in November 2025. If you are interested in working in my lab, please email me at: jasonzhanglabrecruitment@gmail.com. I am currently recruiting masters, PhD, and postdocs.

Excited to share that I’ll be joining UCLA Bioengineering as a tenure-track professor! My lab will focus on AI-driven molecular engineering to study cellular signaling. As someone 100% educated in US public schools, I’m proud to continue working in public education and inspiring future scientists!

Ah, thank you for the clarification!

I’ve been trying to find some reliable news about this. Are there funding cuts to NIH and NSF proposed in the Big Beautiful (really Ugly) Bill? If so, how much are the cuts?

Was so nice to meet up with @grocklin.bsky.social and talk about science! So much to learn from him. Hopefully we can be neighbors soon!

De novo designed Hsp70 activator dissolves intracellular condensates Protein quality control (PQC) is carried out in part by the chaperone Hsp70 in concert with adapters of the J-domain protein (JDP) family. The JDPs, a…

Excited to share my recent work on designing new Hsp70 activators to regulate condensates, and thus reveal their functions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @uwproteindesign.bsky.social @cp-cellchembiol.bsky.social

Very cool work from my undergrad buddy! If you are interested in virology, high throughput techniques, and biochemistry, please take a read!

If you consider all the institutes and hospitals associated with Harvard and MIT as part of their respective schools (eg Boston Children’s with Harvard, Whitehead with MIT, etc) then I bet this figure goes up to 75% 😮

Thanks! You are right that FRET FLIM may be more quantitative than FRET ratios. I haven’t tested FRET FLIM yet though due to the lack of microscopes available to me to do FLIM measurements.

Done!

I made a protein designer starter pack ⚛️👨‍💻👩‍💻! Please feel free to DM me if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/JcMhjLw

Great! Thanks! Hope to see you at a sensor meeting soon!

My favorite probe is the one I made: Ras activity sensors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Computationally designed sensors detect endogenous Ras activity and signaling effectors at subcellular resolution - Nature Biotechnology Computationally designed sensors map the activity and signaling environment of Ras.

Can you please add me? My favorite probe is the one I made: Ras activity sensors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We love signaling!

Thank you so much!

Please add me!

Just started my BlueSky account! Wondering how this will go 🤔. Will still post on my Twitter (@jasonzxzhang) as well for the time being.
