Colleague Shan Yan doing a great job highlighting our Genome research at the NC Biotech Summit at the newly opened Pearl campus in Charlotte!

Had a wonderful time visiting Marquette University Biological Sciences to share our recent work on the Hsp70 Chaperone Code! Thanks to Emily Sontag for inviting me! Such a beautiful campus and loved talking with the students and faculty about the exciting research going on 🔥🔥🔥#hsp70

This study, led by Megan Mitchem & Ashley Choi at the Truman Lab (@trumanlab.bsky.social), provides a resource for dissecting the functional landscape of Cdc37 post-translational regulation & highlights new regulatory sites w/potential relevance to chaperone-kinase network dysregulation in disease.

Dissecting the Cdc37 Co-chaperone Code: Functional Roles in Chaperone-Mediated Stress Adaptation Cdc37 is a kinase-specific co-chaperone that scaffolds protein kinase clients to the Hsp90 chaperone system. Although phosphorylation at residues S14 and S17 is known to regulate Cdc37 function, the b...

Excited to share our new work "Dissecting the Cdc37 Co-chaperone Code: Functional Roles in Chaperone-Mediated Stress Adaptation" in press at the Journal of Biological Chemistry www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Friday was the 10th anniversary of setting up my lab! My amazing team hosted a party-the showstopper was the video they made that contained messages from all my previous students, mentors and collaborators!Finished the day by failing Beat the bomb in Charlotte!

@ronbeavis.bsky.social Hi Ron, I teach a graduate course on cell signaling and each year do a couple of classes on PTMs. I love showing the students how to use the gpmdb for their studies but can’t access it anymore from the US. Do you offer paid access/educational discount for those in the US?

Excited to begin my new role as Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte 🔥🔥

Great time celebrating the achievements of the lab at Fahrenheit restaurant-graduations, proposal defenses, papers and grants! So grateful for the hard work and energy my team bring!

Beautiful work!

A really important skill for trainees to learn is to be a “closer” of a project-that is to take it over the finish line for publication. This means doing the experiments, getting the figures/text ready for submission and being prepared to do review corrections 😀

Classic NIH shenanigans-R03 scores:
A0: ND
A1: 26 (need 25 to be funded)
Revised A0: 40 😭

On adaptation to a mesophilic environment and the chaperone network in Archaea

Hopla il est là et je ferais une petite explication de ce que j'ai cherché à comprendre dedans. Mais ça parle de chaperonnes et d'archées et de relations entre évolution et HSP70.

Grateful to have been awarded the first UNC Charlotte Klein College of Science award for Research and Scholarship (KNOBEL) 🔥🔥🔥

Another Hsp70-Hsp90 complex spotted in the wild 🔥🔥🔥

Is it your talk?

Congratulations to you both!

Proud of undergraduate students Shreya Patel and Erica Flores on doing a great job presenting their work at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Undergraduate Research Symposium! Incredible findings on the Hsp70 and BiP PTM code!

I started using Merlin about a month ago and my kids aged 7 and 11 love it! We have found so many cool birds in Charlotte :)

Yep :)

My action figure:

Good luck!

You are doing that on a daily basis?

I have the 5 and love it

The Pacific Northwest Yeast Club is holding their annual meeting on June 20th, 2025 in beautiful Vancouver, Canada! There are only 100 spots and registration is open now: www.pnwyc.net

Hi everybody! The Yeast journal is finally on Bluesky! Follow us to keep updated on the latest research articles, reviews and special issues on #Yeast biology and more! 🙂

The celebration of UNC Charlotte reaching R1 status was such a positive and inspiring event! Go Niners 🔥🔥🔥

Our inaugural Rising Stars in Proteostasis seminar was a roaring success! Thanks to Dr. Ian Guldner for visiting from Stanford University and giving an amazing talk on the decline of proteostasis in aging 🔥🔥🔥 #proteostasis #charlotte
