Vermont summers are short but sweet! The Glass Lab is making the most of it by soaking up some sunshine at The Spot on the Dock. Also, someone may have sketched cryo-EM plans on a napkin. Stay tuned. ☀️🌊 #GlassLab #UVM #VermontSummer #LabLife

Associate Professor of Pharmacology, University of Vermont College of Medicine We study how the histone code is read and what the words mean. #epigenetics
5 years ago the Glass Lab moved to UVM’s Larner College of Medicine. Since then we’ve dug into the histone code, published our first cryo-EM structure of the human ATAD2B ATPase, mapped bromodomains in malaria & cancer, and started designing proteins with AI. Grateful to my team. 🧬 #cryoEM
Congratulations to James Petersen on his UVM Cancer Center Summer Research Fellowship! 🎊 James is a UVM senior who will continue in the accelerated M.S. in Pharmacology Progam. James will spend the summer digging into chromatin reader proteins and histone acetylation in cancer-relevant pathways.
Live Webinar Coming Soon! 🚨 Chromatin regulation goes beyond enzymes. Chemical reactivity and metabolism are reshaping gene expression. Join Dr. Yael David to see how CUTANA™ CUT&Tag maps histone glycation in T cells. 📅 May 7, 1 PM EDT 🔗 https://ow.ly/tqX050YP6MS
Congratulations to Sam Rosenbaum on receiving the 2026 CAS Biochemistry Research Award! Sam is a sophomore Biochemistry major, and his work in the Glass Lab is on the structure and function of ATAD2B and its link to breast cancer. Incredible things ahead! #UVM #UVMLarner #UVMCC
Proud PI moment: Annika Lathrop defended her Honors Thesis on chromatin recognition by the SAND domain of SP110C. Her rigorous biochemical and biophysical work illuminates immune-related mechanisms and opens doors for future therapies. Congrats, Annika! #Epigenetics #UVMCC #UVMLarner

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
Very proud PI moment. We have a newly minted PhD! Congratulations to Dr. Malone!
