For the last 34 years I have been on the faculty of the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Biology and have never regretted that decision. This year we are hiring TWO new Assistant Professors in the broad area of Molecular, Cell, Developmental Biology 1/n bio.unc.edu

🚨Excited to announce a new preprint from our lab, where we describe an ancient metabolic axis that controls mitochondrial genome copy number; a mechanism we uncovered in human cells that stretches through evolution to control mtDNA in flies, yeast and even plants!

There is still time to register for @focalplane.bsky.social's inaugural plant imaging webinar tomorrow. #plantimaging focalplane.biologists.com/2026/03/30/n...

We are proud to support the 2nd Scottish Cell Biology Meeting on 4th September in Glasgow Register now! www.gla.ac.uk/events/confe...

Our new study is out in Nature Communications. Using TNBC organoid mouse models, we show that necroptosis in both tumour and stromal compartments cooperatively drives effective responses to immunogenic cell death–based immunotherapy. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's shaping up to be an amazing line up at the Gordon Cell Death meeting! Register now! www.grc.org/cell-death-c...

Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask? rdcu.be/eN1jm

Functionally dominant hotspot mutations of mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes in cancer

Nature Genetics - Analysis of 14,106 tumor genomes highlights recurrent mutations in mitochondrial ribosomal RNA encoded within the mitochondrial genome. Mutations occur at hotspot positions and...
