🧵 New paper alert! Today on bioRxiv, we show how a microtubule (MT) associated protein, MTCL1, links 2 regulatory layers: mechanical MT stabilization and writing of then tubulin code. A multi-lab effort driven by @Juanmabertoldi1 and Julie Dang spanning atoms to organisms. 1/n

Molecular imaging pioneer Eva Nogales awarded the 2026 Vanderbilt Prize in Biomedical Science news.vumc.org/2026/06/30/mol… I am truly honored to receive this prize and incredibly grateful to have worked with so many talented lab members over the years.🙏👩‍🎓🧑‍💼

Excited to share our new preprint with the Yildiz and Janke labs on how Ndc80 and Ska complexes cooperate on microtubules through a SKA3 tether and tubulin tail interface to stabilize attachment! Congrats to Ju and Ipsita for leading this exciting study! biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Congrats to Ana Galic and Kevin Li, who just graduated with honors in MCB, and to the brand new Dr. Trinity Cookis @trincookis 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓🤩. Very best wishes for your next endeavors 💝.

Congrats to my @berkeleyMCB colleague @AndyMartinLab who just received the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award of the @ProteinSociety. Andy's studies have made the proteasome one of the best understood molecular machines in biology. Well deserved!! 🥳🥳

Another fabulous PEW meeting, this year at Palm Springs. So lovely to share time with both exlab members @vignesh_k757 and @kellogg_liz and @UCBerkeley colleagues. LatinAmericanFellows, please send me photos by email! Science was simply wonderful!! 🧬🥇

If you are a senior undergrad, master or starting PhD student, interested in molecular biophysics, consider applying to the @BioPhySal2026 International Biophysics Course. Amazing lecturers and beautiful Salamanca city. Traveling grants available. biophysal.org

An honor to share the closing Keynote session @CellBio2025. Thank you American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) and EMBO for an amazing meeting and for making us feel part of a community of inspiring scientists.

Excited to share our new preprint in collaboration with Ahmet Yildiz's lab. Check out how our team uncovers a novel binding footprint and motor regulation mechanism for MAP9 Congrats to Burak Cetin and @AryanTaheri4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
