We are hiring a research assistant for the lab! Are you interested in stress biology and the search for better cellular protectants? Want to be a part of an energetic, collegial group? Apply here and spread the word! smu.taleo.net/careersectio...

📅 Save the dates! Join us for "Anhydrobiosis Across Organisms, Scales, and Disciplines" — a webinar series exploring the science of desiccation & survival. First Thursday of Feb, Mar & Apr 2025. Free & online! Register and learn more: walii.science/events

Our paper is out! To identify new protectant proteins we expressed tardigrade genes in bacteria and screened for those that could improve desiccation survival. It was a fun (and effective) screening approach. Check it out and see what we found! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A bacterial expression cloning screen reveals single-stranded DNA-binding proteins as potent desicco-protectants

Desiccation kills most cells. Some proteins have been identified to help certain cells survive desiccation, but many protein protectants are likely to…
