Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt

Join Vanderbilt! @VandyBioSci & Physics & Astronomy are recruiting tenure-track faculty in the area of Molecular & Cellular Biophysics. Single-molecule & advanced microscopy approaches encouraged. Deadline is 10/31/2024: lnkd.in/eWReHfrd. #postdocs #BlackInBiophysics

Very excited to share that our latest paper (in which I'm a co-first 😊) is now out on PNAS!! In it we show that the circadian clock in cyanobacteria can be manipulated to increase production of bioproducts! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The Behringer Lab at Vanderbilt is looking to hire a research assistant! A great position for trainees interested in microbiology, evolution, & genetics while gaining experience in anaerobic cell culture, experimental evolution, & genome editing. Details at quote tweet below! ⬇️

My first first-author publication is live! In this review, I outline the current state of knowledge of the DNA glycosylase NEIL3 and gaps in our understanding ranging from its role in disease to ICL repair. Thank you @BFEichman for the learning experience! doi.org/10.1016/j.dnar…

Don't forget today's Frontiers talk delivered by Prof. Tomkinson from Univ. New Mexico. Talk at noon, 214 LH.

Congratulations to all the NSF GRFP awardees and honorable mentions! To compose, edit, and submit a grant proposal is an accomplishment in itself- all applicants should be very proud!

One of my fabulous undergrads, Kyle, presented his research on SASP trends in retina regeneration today!! He's revolutionized our labs' usage of bioinformatics, and I couldn't be more proud of his hard work!!

New paper: The mechanism of cytoplasmic incompatibility is conserved in Wolbachia-bearing Aedes aegypti mosquitoes deployed for arbovirus control. Collaborative project was led by @KaurTweets and @Symbionticism . Many thanks to @Cole_Meier_ ! doi.org/10.1371/journa…

🔬Exciting breakthrough in #DNA replication #research! @VandyBiochem professors @BFEichman, @ChazinWalter & colleagues utilized @VanderbiltCSB Cryo-EM Facility to visualize a multi-functional protein in action. 🧬 Find out more in this Q&A👇 medschool.vanderbilt.edu/basic-sciences…

Today I gave my first seminar talk and shared my research in progress with the Toxicology training program here at Vanderbilt! Not much beats Mexican food, NEIL3, and getting valuable project feedback 😄

Not all budding yeast can bud! Learn more about cell morphology traits including the diversity of shape and size of the yeast subphylum, Saccharomycotina, in my recent review! Thank you to awesome co-authors @MarizethGroene1 @HittingerLab @RokasLab academic.oup.com/femsyr/article…

Congratulations to @adricortee for another successful publication!!

This December was a fun one for the Graham Lab. Not only do we have a new doctor in the house @adricortee but @mariana_jimnz02 pulled us together for holiday cheer!! Can’t wait for the new adventures of 2024!!!

An excellent talk today!!

Attention postdocs! Faculty cluster hire at Vanderbilt in Infection, Immunology, Inflammation, Metabolism, or Neuroscience. Multiple positions supported by the NIH FIRST program. 🔬 🦠 Please share and apply!

Tomorrow, the wonderful @adricortee will be defending her thesis!! 2PM in 1220 MRB3

Excited to share our latest work in @CellCellPress on a spatial multi-omic atlas of human colorectal precancer-to-cancer transitions #CancerResearch. Huge congrats to @cody_heiser, Lau Lab grad student, for leading the charge as the first author! (1/8) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
