Hayne Lab

Inspired by her own experience with childhood cancer, @Cassandra_Hayne looks to understand genetic mutations that can lead to developmental disorders in children. biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/features/…

@PhoebeARice and I developed an outreach module using paper models to share our passion for nucleic acids and structural biology. Now, you can use it too! #UChicagoBMB #structuralbiology #biochemistry #womeninstem Check it out: cdn.rcsb.org/rcsb-pdb/gener…

The Center for Motor Neuron Disease (CMND) has announced the six recipients of the CMND Trainer & Trainee Pilot Awards - a new funding opportunity that supports the generation of exploratory data in the field of motor neuron disease. Read more: neuroscience.uchicago.edu/cmnd-announces…

We are delighted to announce our next RNA Society Member Spotlight! rnasociety.org/prof--cassandr… Prof. Cassandra Hayne just opened her lab at the University of Chicago, and her work focuses on uncovering the structural and biochemical basis of disease-relevant RNA processing complexes. In this month’s piece, written by Dr. Jennifer Porat, she shares the inspiration behind her decision to pursue a science career, her approach to mentorship, and her creative pursuits that have recently led to some very enviable lab gear.

Check out our fresh review on TSEN biology brought together by the @TheHayneLab, @RobinStanleyLab, @TrowitzschLab, and @vanHooligans now available at JBC jbc.org/article/S0021-…!
