Latest collab out in Cell: ~1 mil ribos are embedded per human genome, non-random in distribution. Telomeres are a hotspot with a distinct G-strand rA signature. Watch for future work on their impact on telomere biology! Wonderful work led by Storici lab. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

This was a fun collaboration. One of the many reasons why I love science.
1/ Latest publication from the Freudenthal lab in @Biomol_MDPI: 8oxoG:A base pairs are structurally accommodated in the nucleosome, yet effectively invisible to MUTYH. @abbey_vito and @Biochem_Ling. doi.org/10.3390/biom1607099

How does a DNA repair enzyme find a needle in a haystack? 🧬
Our latest paper in NAR, led by the one and only C-trap queen @kaitlindehart, uses single-molecule imaging to watch APE1 scan DNA and lock onto AP-sites. @LUMICKS_US

This past weekend we hosted the 25th annual Midwest DNA Repair Conference at KUMC. Got to hear about a lot of great science going on and caught up with some friends. (Happy to say I won best post-doc poster as well).

Grateful to host Sen. @JerryMoran and @NIHDirector_Jay in the Freudenthal Lab today. I’m incredibly proud of our trainees, who showcased their work using the @LUMICKS_nl C-Trap and the KU Cryo-EM Facility. Their dedication highlights how federal investment drives discovery and cancer research at @KUcancercenter.

Great way to end two summer student internships with the @KUcancercenter symposium. Fantastic work by Carson Gray (undergrad) and Esther Solange (high school student)!
Kudos to @abbey_vito, @peyton_oden, and @Biochem_Ling for being wonderful mentors.

My lab at UVA is looking to hire a Postdoc to study mechanisms of DNA repair in chromatin using biochemical, biophysical, and structural biology approaches!
Feel free to share with anyone you think may be interested.

Discovery of the chromatin structural determinants of 8-oxoG repair and the mechanisms of repair of KBrO3-induced 8-oxoG-induced mutations. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-5… #CancerResearch @natrescancer
Excited to share some really cool work I was apart of (with @tylermweaver1) during my post doc in the @Freudlab. Was a really great collaboration!

Excited to share the final piece of my postdoctoral work (with @benny_ry) in the @Freudlab, where we determine the kinetic and structural basis of gap-filling DNA synthesis in the nucleosome by Pol β. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
