Biophysical Society in LA. Congrats to Hallie on receiving SRAA!

Welcome aboard, Debleena!!

Congratulations on the publication, Shane! "The Lassa Virus Stable Signal Peptide Undergoesa Conformational Change to Aid Viral Fusion"…mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Congratulations to Dan on his publication in JBC! He demonstrated the significance of positive residues in the SARS-CoV-2 fusion domain. Notably, the K825A mutation increased fusogenicity, which could have implications for the future variant. jbc.org/article/S0021-…

Summer Gathering/ Dan’s Farewell Party. It was good to see all the students and the weather was beautiful. Congratulations again to Dr. Birtles(@Dbirtless), and best wishes on your new journey in the UK. @JinwooLeeLab

The Isaacs group invites applications for postdoctoral fellow positions available immediately #chempostdoc. The NIH funded projects focus on the synthesis and evaluation of #cucurbituril and #pillararene compounds as sequestration agents. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The first Ph.D student from our lab, Dr. Patrick Keating. It is a great honor to award him the hooding ceremony. His thesis is about the role of the transmembrane domain of LASV. Good Luck with your future endeavors, Patrick! @ChemBiochemUMD @PatrickKeatin18

The @JinwooLeeLab at UMCP found that the endosomal resident lipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) promotes membrane fusion initiated by the SARS-CoV-2 fusion domain via its detrimental impact on lipid packing. @ChemBiochemUMD go.acs.org/8I2

Congrats to Shane Collins for receiving the Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowship. @ChemBiochemUMD

Congratulations to Dan and Wafa @ChemBiochemUMD for publishing the work about BMP lipids on SARS-CoV-2 membrane fusion @JPhysChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

7 rules of life from the middle school

We welcome Moses and Kiruthika to join our lab. They will focus on understanding how different genres of ArenaVirus SSP play a role in membrane fusion. Welcome aboard!

Hallie Pennington and Collin Vincent fell in love while on their Ph.D. journeys at @ChemBiochemUMD—and got engaged at a @TerpsFootball game last fall! Read more about their love story at #UMD this #ValentinesDay: go.umd.edu/valentine

Our lab is in Philly #BPS2024. Don’t forget to stop by our lab posters.

You don't want to miss out on the February 2024 edition of the BPS Bulletin. Our very own Dan Birtles is featured in the Student Spotlight, so check it out and give him a big congratulations next time you see him! @ChemBiochemUMD

Our lab at the Univ of Maryland has an NIH-funded #postdoc vacancy to investigate the structural basis of #SARSCoV2 hijacking of host trafficking #proteins. We use #cryoem, #Crystallography, & #OctetBLI. And #Rockville is an aewsome place. @UMD_IBBR @UMBaltimore @ChemBiochemUMD

Congratulations to Hallie on her publication about the Lassa Virus Fusion Domain. @HailstotheYes @ChemBiochemUMD @ACSPublications pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our @ChemBiochemUMD department is searching for a full-time, long-term lecturer to join us! We have a history of continuity for our professional-track faculty with clear promotional pathways. #chemjobs Please retweet! ejobs.umd.edu/postings/116121

Our Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Univ. of Maryland @ChemBiochemUMD @UMDscience is carrying out a national search for a new Department Chair! The year 2024 will be an exciting year with our new building coming online and lots of room for growth! Please repost!
