I'm thrilled to shared my very first scientific publication 🥳 MctB and CtpV are two transmembrane proteins from M.Tuberculosis. In this work the two proteins were used as antigens in a new thermostable vaccine formulation. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Any Ph.D. students near the end of their thesis and not in Texas, looking to PostDoc in Texas? The Welch Foundation now provides fellowships. If you are interested in chromatin, HDX, or proteins in general... let's chat! welch1.org/grants-programs/p…

Check out our latest paper by first author @JoyShaffer17. We show how RanGTP partially releases H2A-H2B from Importin-9... just enough that H2A-H2B can release to an assembling nucleosome. Read for free for the next 50 days: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hJ-F…
