The Gestwicki Lab @UCSF uses #chemicalbiology and #biochemistry to understand the #proteostasis network. This account is student run.




Ellen Swallow Richards became MIT’s first female graduate when she earned her BS in chemistry on May 31, 1873 — 150 years ago today.

An alum of Prof. Jeff Kelly's lab, Nicholas Yan looks forward to a postdoc position in @UCSF's @GestwickiLab and @SouthworthLab, where he'll use cryo-electron microscopy to explore the structural basis of small molecules that target amyloid fibrils. More: scripps.edu/2023grads

…and another 1! 2nd paper in 1 wk @idferguson. Collabo w @gestwickilab @CellChemBiol: allosteric HSP70 inhibitors overcome proteasome inhibitor resistance in #myeloma #mssm. #proteomics finds surprising mechanism: block HSPA9 & destabilize mitoribosome! cell.com/cell-chemical-…



Check out our latest review article on non-canonical Hsp70 interactions—out now in Cell Stress & Chaperones! With the recent explosion of studies mentioning them, @oletaknowsstuff & Jason thought this timely. We hope it inspires new important research! link.springer.com/article/10.100…



Projects led by our PIs will use multiomics & functional genomics #CRISPR screens to understand molecular & cellular differences in gene expression & cell function due to H1/H2 haplotype inversion leading to new therapeutic targets for treating tauopathies geschwindlab.org/cwow/
