Happy Birthday to me!! Check out our latest work led by a talented grad student @PatrickExconde Here we developed a platform that allows us to generate new PRRs that convert protein degradation into a cell death phenotype, enabling functional genetics! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

What if protein degradation didn’t have to be a silent molecular event? 🤔 Today, I’m excited to share DIPTAR (Degradation-Induced Pyroptosis TArgeting Receptor) — a synthetic biology platform that converts protein degradation into a measurable cellular phenotype. 🧵👇🏼

Excited to share ABTA’s New York BT5K! As a PhD student studying glioblastoma and a host committee member, I’m proud to support this event raising funds for brain tumor research, patient support, and advocacy.
LISTEN NOW We’re gearing up for the American Brain Tumor Association’s 2025 NY BT5K💙 CBS News highlighted how this inspiring event brings survivors, families, and supporters together to fuel brain tumor research and hope. Ahead of the race, organizer Drew Flugstad-Clarke and survivor Matthew Zachary shared why this community matters so deeply. 🔗 Watch the story: cbsnews.com/newyork/video/am… #BreakthroughForBrainTumors #BrainTumorAwareness #BrainTumorStrong

Proud of everyone on this paper, especially @PatrickExconde!!! 😀
Early X-Mas 🎁! My lab's first paper is finally out @CellReports and our 2nd collaborative paper with @BrodskyIgor and @SunnyShinLab redefining how the Casp11 inflammasome forms has been accepted. Stay tuned for the final version of that but first, a 🧵👇🏾 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

proud of my dad for making it into the last 10 seconds of this video (and for his contribution to research)!
Check out how @DRDC_RDDC researchers and partners are developing a prototype freeze-dried plasma kit, a potentially life-saving product for trauma patients who have lost a lot of blood. Read more: science.gc.ca/site/science/e… #DefenceScience

Introducing our newest method, CytoCommunity, for tissue spatial domain analysis. By using a graph pooling strategy, it enables de novo identification of condition-specific tissue domains that can be used to construct predictive models. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
