Excited to share that our latest work has now been published in PNAS! This project has been years in the making, and I'm incredibly grateful to all of my collaborators and trainees who helped bring it to completion. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

DENV-4 infection suppresses transcription of DNA repair genes | PNAS

The molecular mechanisms behind Dengue virus-dependent host pathogenesis, especially genome instability, remain largely unclear. This RNA virus cau...

Chemist & X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin's meticulous research was instrumental in uncovering DNA's molecular structure. Most famous for her role in the DNA double helix discovery, her work also revolutionized our understanding of viruses & coal. She was born #OTD in 1920. #WomenInSTEM 🧵

A classic, black-and-white studio portrait of a young Dr. Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958), the pioneering British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose data was foundational to uncovering the double-helix structure of DNA. Captured from the chest up, Franklin sits in a three-quarter pose, her body angled slightly toward the left while her gaze directly meets the viewer. She possesses a calm, intelligent, and subtly enigmatic expression, with her dark hair neatly parted on the side and styled back away from her face. She wears a dark, long-sleeved button-down blouse with structured shoulders, a sharp collar, and fabric buttons down the front placket. The background is a soft, minimalist studio gradient of neutral grays that creates a gentle vignette effect, casting a soft light on the right side of her face. The composition is clean, formal, and balanced, evoking a mood of quiet determination, dignity, and brilliant intellectual poise characteristic of the early 20th-century scientific vanguard.

It's the best feeling in the world when your graduate student defends their Ph.D. successfully! Dr. Victor began his Ph.D. training at the start of COVID and persevered through all crises and obstacles. He is looking for an industrial position, if anyone is hiring.

It’s brutal in academia right now. A lot is out of our control, but it doesn’t cost anything to remember that there are humans behind papers and grants…reviewers, program officials and funders can be more empathetic in the face of unprecedented chaos in the US scientific enterprise.
