Our annual retreat this year started at Limantour Beach onto the Muddy Hollow Trailhead, and continued with a short drive to Point Reyes Station Farmstead Cheese for tasting of delicious cheese and dessert selections. Those, who did not have to rush to the city to recover before the SF Marathon the next day (go Allison, […]
Almost 10 years after our first Jurassic Park-themed happy hour on the 4th floor at CVRI, we had done it again! Thanks for all Herbivores and Carnivores for showing up!
Congratulations Hayarpi, Michael, Devan and our collaborators! This paper concludes our long quest for obtaining a high resolution structure of the PEAK3 pseudokinase revealing its unusual binding mode to 14-3-3, and the importance of its interaction for the modulation of PEAK3 role as a signaling scaffold.
Megan has been named as one of the ten finalists in this year’s Grad Slam competition. Congratulations Megan!!! We are looking forward to support you together with the Klein lab on March 19th at 4PM in Byers Auditorium where she will be distilling her entire graduate career into a 3 minute talk! Can’t wait!
Congrats Raph on publication of the review article “Receptor Tyrosine Kinase activation: from the ligand perspective” in Current Opinion in Cell Biology! It is now available for download. Great job with highlighting the diversity of RTK ligands and the mechanisms by which the ligands bias signaling responses downstream from the activated receptors.
Back at our favorite RAMP to celebrate Kim’s first week as our lab manager (joint with the Minor lab). We are so excited to have you Kim! We also used this opportunity to give proper welcome to our Winter quarter rotation students Anna, Fred and Wilson. Better late than never!
Very excited to welcome Anna Morrison and Fred Santana from TETRAD, and Wilson Nieves Vasquez from the Biophysics program for the winter quarter rotations in the Jura lab!
Congratulations to Raph who was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft !!!
Congratulations Devan on the well-deserved award!!!
On November 12th, 2019, Mitch has presented his thesis seminar, entitled: “Ascending a new PEAK: Characterization of the PEAK3 pseudokinase and its regulation of cell morphology”. Congratulations on successful completion of your thesis Mitch, and best of luck at your new position at Encoded Therapeutics!!!
