Really excited to share our preprint on #Galvanotaxis! We identify Galvanin, a membrane protein acting as an electric field sensor that guides cell migration. Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #CellBiology #CRISPRi #Migration (Thanks for the support @JCChildsFund and @NIGMS)

Happy to have this work out! Some of my postdoctoral work with Julie Theriot. nature.com/articles/s4146… (thanks for the support @JCChildsFund and @NIGMS)

Excited to share a new preprint! We do a pooled, imaged-based CRISPRi screen on the complex shapes and cytoskeletal structures of human U2OS cells: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Co-led with R. Lorenzo Labitigan in Julie Theriot's lab, with special shoutout to Cynthia Hao! 1/10

Please apply and share!

Swarming bacteria, when confined, form a 'single-swirl' coherent pattern, as opposed to confined planktonic bacteria, which form less organized 'multi-swirl' patterns. Another mesmerizing gem from Mani and Tang labs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share a major story from my PhD on @biorxivpreprint! Molecular processes are stochastic and noisy! How do cells suppress this noise to perform robust behavior? We turned to the beautiful, smooth leading edges of migrating HL-60 cells. (1/7) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Mind-blowing as always!

Although I believe in the preprint philosophy, it feels really good to finally have this paper out! #fulltext" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1… If you are interested in gene regulation and information processing in cells, you might want to check it out.

Proud to announce that SCHEEPDOG is out today in @CellSystemsCP feat. co-lead author @GawoonS, @Rossello_Alex, Linus Wang, and fearless leader @DJCohenEtAl! Read on to see how we herd collective cell migration using electric fields! doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

Happy to share that my recent paper on CRISPR-tagging of actin got the cover of Cytoskeleton! Check it out at doi.org/10.1002/cm.216…. Was a fun project with helpful contributions from many other members of Julie Theriot's lab (and honorary member / my husband, @bioSavinov !).

The 1st paper from my thesis is up on @biorXivpreprint! Main question: how do skin cells know when (and where) injury has occurred nearby? A 🧵 about how #zebrafish embryos sense wounds via osmotic AND electric cues, with plenty of cool movies! (1/12) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
