Steven J. Moran, Ph.D.

I’m thrilled to share our paper published in the Journal of Virology! We investigated the role of actin filaments in mediating the active diffusion of vesicular stomatitis virus RNPs in the host cell cytoplasm. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

@ChirayuPhD @JeffWilleyLab @BCMSpaceHealth @NASA @WakeBME @WFUbiomedgrad @WakeMCB @AtriumHealthWFB @JAXA_en Congratulations!

I am excited to announce that I have successfully defended my PhD dissertation at @JeffWilleyLab. I am also happy to announce that I am joining @BCMSpaceHealth and @NASA for a postdoctoral position in science strategy and management! #RR18 #MHU8

How do "molecular motors" fold the genome? A new #SciencePerspective looks at insights that are starting to yield an understanding of the mechanism by which these motors extrude loops of #DNA to structure genomes. scim.ag/5jJ

The wonderful world of microbes 😅

A new probiotic-guided CAR-T platform uses engineered bacteria to infiltrate and produce synthetic antigen targets, enabling CAR-T cells to find, identify, and destroy tumor cells in situ. 📄: scim.ag/4xG #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4xF

Finally taking time off, but my brain keeps thinking about new experiments to try when I return to lab 😅

Almost 5 months into my postdoc…oh they’re making me WORK 😭

Telling my family what I do as a postdoc My job is just….science

@mollybeck93 @wakeforestmed Thank you, Molly!

Today I officially graduated with my Ph.D., and I’m kind of at a loss for words. I’ve met such wonderful people @wakeforestmed that I will dearly miss. They along with my family made completing a Ph.D. possible. I’ll be forever grateful to them

@KridelSteven @wakeforestmed Thank you, Dr. Kridel!

@SJvrMoran @wakeforestmed Way to MCB! Congrats Steven!

Not a student or a postdoc (yet), but a secret third thing for the next few weeks

@KridelSteven Thank you, Dr. Kridel!

@SJvrMoran Way to MCB!!

I passed my dissertation defense today!! I’m grateful to my wonderful PhD advisor who helped me get to this point. And my supportive committee, friends, family, and department! There’s a nice feeling to saying #PhDone

@ChirayuPhD Thank you!

@SJvrMoran Congratulations!

After months of writing, my dissertation is done and submitted!

(completely overwhelmed) will do!

Just filled out all of my intent to graduate forms. It’s all becoming too real 😵‍💫
