3/3 Much gratitude and pride for Chook lab members especially PhD student @JennyJiou for the multi-year hard work of bringing CryoEM to @ChookLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… -

Hot off the press...new publication from @ChookLab! Congratulations to @NatEBernardes1! Structure of IMPORTIN-4 bound to the H3–H4–ASF1 histone–histone chaperone complex pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Proud of our STARS student and all of his hard work this summer!

Finally back to in person MB Symposium! Big congrats to @JennyJiou for winning "Best Talk!"

From our May issue #Review by Casey E. Wing, Ho Yee Joyce Fung & Yuh Min Chook expertly reviewing nucleocytoplasmic transport by karyopherins #Nuclear_Transport #exportin #importin #karyopherin @ChookLab @yuhminchook @UTSWGradSchool @MolBiophysUTSW go.nature.com/3KxxLnM

Check it out: preprint describing the first Cryo-EM structure from our lab: Importin-4 bound to the complex Asf1-H3-H4, from our postdoc @NatEBernardes1 @ChookLab @MolBiophysUTSW @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Drs. Fung and Yang on the cutest honorary member of the @ChookLab

Pretty pretty protein to brighten a Thursday afternoon!

Wishing congratulations to Chook Lab alumnus, @SCF13715659 on his new position as a Principal Scientist in the Translational Sciences Department at @SanofiUS !

We are so excited about our new postbac program, starting next summer! utsouthwestern.edu/ctplus/stories…

The Chook Lab is celebrating a big milestone today, we hit the big 2-0! Check out what we have been up to the past 20 years: chooklab.org/labwebsite/hom…

Awesome! 👇👇👇Especially because TWO @MolBiophysUTSW faculty (Chad Brautigam (who is behind @GUSSIsMind) and Kim Reynolds @kimreynolds_lab) are among the awardees. We have a bunch of great educators in the program. Who's next? 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫
