It was wonderful to see the fascinating research conducted by our CCBM CREST Fellows from October 2023 to April 2024 during the CCBM CREST Symposium. Congratulations all! CCBM UC Merced U.S. National Science Foundation

Great work by Tajin, George, and Parker in collaboration with Alison Butler (UCSB). Here, we report insight into the adhesion and oxidation of catechol analogs toward developing pH-tolerant wet adhesives for use in diverse environments. The Adhesion Society

We have an exciting postdoctoral researcher opportunity to work in my lab in the molecular mechanisms of transcription by single-molecule methods.
Check out the job opening here:

and apply if interested. Retweets are most appreciated.

🎉It's finally out!! We show that intramolecular interactions in IDPs are strong enough to hold in the cell, but flexible enough to respond to cellular volume changes. A labor of love of many people, mainly recent graduate David Moses and Karina Guadalupe. shorturl.at/cdyR2

If you are working with QCM-D data, you should check pyQCM-BraTaDio. A handy tool to visualize and mine data from QCM-D experiments. Supports files from various commercially available QCM-D setups. Check the pre-print, source code, and video tutorial:
