So excited to see this announcement. Gary’s lab was right next door to my grad lab, and he chaired all my advisory committees throughout grad school.

Check out our surprising finding in nuclear invagination's function: regulating ribosome biogenesis. Nuclear tunnels = more ribosomes! I am proud of my talented student @YinyinZhuang, and inspiring collaborators @wtzhaolab, @ChrisEMiles, and @razorenovalab!
