A Kv2 inhibitor traps itself in place. Our latest Research News highlights study (bit.ly/36rFYuE) from Matthew James Marquis and Jon T. Sack @sackyarov: bit.ly/3KK7EsM

Marquis & Sack @sackyarov (bit.ly/36rFYuE) show that voltage activation, but not channel opening, is required for RY785 to access the central cavity of Kv2 channels, where it promotes voltage sensor deactivation to trap itself in place bit.ly/3KK7EsM

Congratulations to Dr. John Dawson from @UCD_BPH & @ucd_physiology, who has been working with me, Prof. Colleen Clancy @clancyatheart and Prof. Yarov-Yarovoy @sackyarov! John conferred Ph.D. degree in Biophysics in May and had a great exit seminar today!

Image shows how RY785 modifies gating currents. Marquis and Sack @sackyarov show mechanism of use-dependent Kv2 channel inhibition by RY785. bit.ly/36rFYuE #Biophysics #MolecularPhysiology #MolecularPharmacology

Matthew James Marquis and Jon Sack @sackyarov show that the use-dependent inhibition of Kv2.1 by RY785 is consistent with gated access to a cavity within the channel that traps RY785. bit.ly/36rFYuE #Biophysics #MolecularPhysiology #MolecularPharmacology

Graduate Studies announced the first cohort of the Faculty Academy of Graduate Student Well-Being, which trains faculty to teach seminars on mental health and well-being to grad students. Learn about this innovative program and its participants: ow.ly/qtj550G5R6U #UCDavis

We are SO deeply grateful to Dr. Rabaud for her purposeful and persistent work with @MCIPUCD and now also @UCD_BPH Thanks Nicole for sharing your inspiring story and for your long lasting impact on improving the graduate student (and faculty) experience!
When Nicole Rabaud, Ph.D. '02 was a first-generation student pursuing her Ph.D., she felt lost. Now, as director of @ucdavisbiology grad programs, she uses her #FirstGen perspective to help grad students feel like they belong. Read her story: ow.ly/sE0p50FhPa8
