Our new paper is out! Using 19F NMR, we show that Hfq rewires the conformational dynamics of a model sRNA in a site-specific manner. Uridines at the rim undergo faster exchange (~100 μs) than those in the proximal pore (~300 μs). Congrats Elise! 🎉🎉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



This bunch of RNA lovers knows how to unwind! Enjoying A-U-tumn and apple picking 🍎🍏




Our new paper is out in PNAS! We show that competition for binding to the Hfq matchmaker disfavors mismatched sRNA-mRNA combinations while allowing matched sRNA-mRNAs to form stable pairs. Kudos to Jorjethe Roca and Yi-Lan Chen for their fantastic work! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…








Today we're thrilled to announce our 2024 #HannaGrayFellows! Please join us in welcoming and celebrating these outstanding early career scientists! This cohort includes scientists working in research areas ranging from treatment-resistant cancers to sleep dysregulation to how animals evolved to live on land.
