The Cancer Center at Illinois @CancerCenterIL has earned National Cancer Institute designation as a Basic Cancer Center, one of eight in the country and the first of its kind in nearly 40 years. Very proud to be part of this historical moment! cancer.illinois.edu/NCI-Designation

Thrilled to officially welcome cancer researcher Dr. Diana Ranoa to our school as an assistant professor of biochemistry! Learn more about Dr. Ranoa and the field of immuno-oncology: go.mcb.illinois.edu/ranoa

@indrajitnano Thanks, Indrajit!

@ZhangLab1 Congrats Prof. Zhang!!

Our first paper on Arc capsid assembly is online now! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Good job team. Thanks to all our collaborators and also MCB for reporting the work: mcb.illinois.edu/news/2024-09-1…

A team of researchers including @ZhangLab1 combined techniques in biochemistry, cell biology, and live cell imaging to determine the trafficking pathway used by Arc protein to communicate with other cells. go.mcb.illinois.edu/arc

We found that PI3P mediates Arc trafficking between cells. Congratulations, Kritika, on publishing our first paper on Arc! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@XuhuiHuangChem Thanks, Xuhui!

@ZhangLab1 Congratulations, Kai!

We published our first paper on optogenetic induction of cell death. Good job, TJ! Article Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thanks, UIUC News Bureau, for the report! news.illinois.edu/view/6367/6334…

Biochemistry prof Kai Zhang @ZhangLab1 will use Minflux super-resolution imaging to investigate assembly and interactions between supra molecular complex and organelles in cells.

mcb.illinois.edu/news/2023-09-0… Excited to be part of the team!

8 cross-disciplinary teams will receive awards in the final year of #Scialog: Microbiome, Neurobiology and Disease, sponsored by RCSA, Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group @AllenInstitute & Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, with Walder Foundation support. bit.ly/3OHarZ7

Happy to share that we received a #Scialog award. Very excited about this project with @ZhangLab1 @asuSOLS @ASUBiodesign

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The first protein structure solved by NMR was published in JMB back in 1985!

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… BLAST was published in JMB back in 1990!

Just came back from my first in-person editorial board meeting for JMB at San Diego. It is great to finally meet all the great colleagues! Peter, thanks for the 33 years of leadership!

Kritika's talk won 2nd place in the MCB retreat! Congratulations Kritika!

@Sanfilippo_JE @Parzivel Congratulations, Joe!

@XuhuiHuangChem Not yet. Will see how it rolls out.

@ZhangLab1 Are y part of this?

chanzuckerberg.com/newsroom/biohu… Exciting opportunity.

taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.… First edited book with Dr. Yubin Zhou on opsin-free optogenetics. Thank you all contributing authors! Hope to catch up with everyone in person soon.
