New preprint alert! Here we show how SEC-MS is a powerful tool for host pathogen interactions profiling. We applied it to Jumbophages, which are large bacterial viruses (>300 genes) holding great potential as antibiotics. What did we find? 1\n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share the, now published, final version of my grad school research! Here are a few PhuN highlights from the full story. 🧵 #phage #jumbophage #cryoem #Sec25" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

Cryo-EM reveals how Hsp90 and FKBP immunophilins co-regulate the Glucocorticoid Receptor biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv




We optmized in situ cryoET to achieve 6 A reconstructions of mouse sperm doublets! The unique tertiary structures allow de novo protein identification of novel sperm proteins by computationally searching in the AlphaFold2 library of entire mouse proteome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




Our preprint on asymmetric axonemes of mammalian sperm revealed by FIB-SEM/cryoET: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks for the support from the Vale lab and Agard lab! This work would not be possible without my amazing collaborators from the Lishko lab and Janelia Research Campus.






Excited to share our findings about the self-assembly of the phage nucleus! In short: it’s primarily composed of a single ~70 kDa protein and forms a beautiful (I may be a little biased 😍) C2 symmetric lattice! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
