Thompson Lab - UC Merced

This account will disappear soon... keep up with the lab at thompson-lab.bsky.social Hope to see you over there!

@klausenhauser omit map?

Do you believe it?

Check out our latest preprint with @Chica_lab where we demonstrate the creation of highly active artificial enzymes by incorporating experimental crystallographic data into the design strategy...

Professional update 1: As of July 1st I am now the graduate group chair for Chemistry & Chemical Biology @UCMChemistry - so if you have questions about graduate studies, how to apply etc. to our amazing campus please get in touch! 1/n

@htkratochvil @DeGradoLab @_jackn_ @MeiHongLab @UChiChemistry @ChemistryMIT @UCSF @ucsfpharmacy Very cool!!

It's finally out! Many thanks to all my co-authors and collaborators! @DeGradoLab @_jackn_ @MeiHongLab @UChiChemistry @ChemistryMIT @UCSF @ucsfpharmacy Join me on an abbreviated journey: A 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4155…

@FindlaterGroup That's why we have robes

quick poll... can I wear shorts & flip flops to an outdoor commencement, temps will be nearly 90F

They were all so so good! #GradSlam

I am so excited to share that I will be starting a lab in January 2024 as an Assistant Professor at @OHSUSOM in Portland! I am building my team, so if you are interested in cellular cryoelectron tomography, computational structural biology, and working in PDX, hit me up!

@Dr_JeremyGBird seems like dirty glassware

The universe is mocking me. This is the same media in each bottle, autoclaved at the same time.

Excellent news - Wenyan Guan (Patricia LiWang Lab @ucmerced) won the poster competition at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting (2/19/2023) for chemokine research. We are very happy for her achievement. Congratulations! #research #academictwitter

Going to #bps2023? Would love to catch up between sessions or in one of the poster sessions. Here's what's coming from our lab: @FengYu_Bio is presenting his newest preprint at the IDP I platform, Sunday 9:00 AM in Rm. 6C

@amtcastle @dgonzales1990 We really like to select the best, so I ask them to do it in 12

@dgonzales1990 "As part of your interview for a spot in my lab, I'd like you to write a successful grant proposal in the typical amount of time (16 hours)."

🙌 Thank you @MikeThompson and the @ThompsonLab for inviting @JulienJorda to present Pythia's use of #AI to design AB Initio Protein Binders at the CBC Seminars @ucmerced. In case you missed it, here are some pictures of him in action!

What is mentorship to structural biologist @stevendamolab1? “A collaborative partnership with goals for both the mentee + the mentor.” 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾🫱🏼‍🫲🏾#NationalMentoringMonth

@ClementYChow except it worked

Here we present a method that can scale and merge data from different types of diffraction experiments -- monochromatic, polychromatic, XFEL, and more! Give it a try! Check out the examples: github.com/rs-station/car…

Look how many University of #California #NobelLaureates I was able to gather in just 2 minutes. A great public university and a national treasure @UC_Berkeley @UCLA. #NobelWeek

The Thompson Lab (@MThompsonLab) studies protein structure and function using X-ray crystallography. They develop new methods with a collaborative approach to science. Projects include protein design, drug discovery, and temp sensing. They're hiring! tinyurl.com/3zuk952n

@FindlaterGroup This is awesome! Who did the artwork?

Well that turned out rather lovely

👩🏾‍🔬⚗ Join us in two graduate recruitment seminars on Nov. 17th and Dec. 6th!! Faculty will give an overview of research in the department, general tips on grad school applications, and will answer all of your questions. International attendees welcome!! shorturl.at/nwy78
