Ever wonder why tRNAs have introns? Our brand new PNAS paper suggests it may be because a tRNA methylase needs the intron in tyrosine tRNA. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be.– F Jacob

"If you can generate humour, you're half way to generating discoveries."
Gary Ruvkun asserts that comedy is a form of intelligence. He employs humour and play to help his colleagues overcome their fears and facilitate new discoveries.
As today marks the practical joker's birthday, we can expect a great deal of laughter will be heard coming from his laboratory.
Ruvkun and Victor Ambros were jointly awarded the 2024 medicine prize for their discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Keep an eye out for a new interview featuring Gary Ruvkun - coming soon!

Our work on TRMT1L's role in tRNA modifications is finally out!
It was a memorable learning experience and a significant milestone in my PhD journey.
I'm truly grateful to my wonderful mentor @Denicourt_Lab, the programs @UTGSBSGnE @MTBatGSBS, and the school @MDA_UTHGrad.
Thrilled to share our new story on tRNA modifications! @SseuPei @MDA_UTHGrad

“I would like to sound one note of warning.”
During his 1945 Nobel Prize lecture, Alexander Fleming was already concerned about bacterial resistance to penicillin. Today, the world faces the challenge of curbing antibiotic resistance.

Delighted to share our latest publication in @NatureMicrobiol - a dream of mine, symbolized by the purple line, that has now become a reality.
Discovery of a very widespread mobile island which play a crucial role in bacterial survival and competition.
