Tomorrow we have another exciting thesis defense from the Freudenthal lab!

This time it is our rock climbing, dessert loving, MD/PhD candidate Luis Cortez. 🥳DM for a zoom link if interested

I ❤️ this new paper on RAD52 at replication forks, just published @nature.com. Cryo-EM reveals a unique double-ring structure that blocks reversal of replication forks.

Excited to share our new pre-print. Direct, ensemble FRET assays developed by our lab reveal that assembly of Rad51 filaments at stalled replication sites via RPA/Rad51 exchange causes complete & irreversible PCNA unloading. Big implications for interplay between human DNA damage tolerance pathways

By attacking science:

We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care.

We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit.

We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.

One more bioRxiv update (v3) on MDC1 and DNA repair dysfunction in #lobular breast cancer:

We worked w @foundationmedicine.bsky.social to see whether ILC mutations manifest as repair 'loss of function', and tumor genomes say... nope :). The ILC phenotype is unique!

🔥🔥🔥Deadline for your abstract submission today! Don't miss out on the most exciting conference on The Ageing Genome in 2025!

I have written to Sen McCormick about my concerns on the defunding of US science. I finally received a response! He is supportive of research & thinks the F&A rates should be returned to previously negotiated rates! Thanks to @audreydrotos.bsky.social & @laurenkreeger.bsky.social for talking to him!

Annika rightfully points out that though this is positive, this is going to SERIOUSLY burden an NIH staff that is actively being further depleted.

Be nice to your SROs, POs, and GMSs, folks...
