John is joining us all the way from the Loo lab at UCLA, where his PhD work focused on using and developing mass spectrometry-based techniques to discover unusual (or lesser studied) post-translational modifications in bacteria. We're stoked to have him here in Princeton, and look forward to what we can accomplish together!

Xinlei's final public oral was titled "Investigating the function of human sirtuin 3 in regulating mitochondrial morphology and function during viral infection", and friends and colleagues from all over the world tuned in via Zoom to see his beautiful talk! We are particularly thrilled that the talented Dr. Xinlei has chosen to stay as a post…

Starting from scratch, Katelyn worked to build an online platform geared towards communicating science and building relationships between Princeton scientists and the greater New Jersey communities. The site includes an event calendar, fun bios highlighting the unique perspectives of our MBOP volunteers, and public discussion forums. You can…

Featuring a diverse array of talented panelists from accorss the world (including our previous labmate, Laura Murray-Nerger), this workshop covered recent developments in proteomic technologies, analytical tools, and biological perspectives surrounding the discovery and interpretation of post-translational modifications in human disease.

Cora continues to shine with an award from the AHA, honoring her outstanding research goals and acheivements thus far. Super proud of everything you're doing, Cora!

Laura defended her PhD thesis today, giving a wonderful talk that captured her elegant work in defining mechanisms of protein acetylation and dynamic remodeling of the nuclear lamina. She will next be moving to Boston to join the lab of Dr. Benjamin Gewurz at Harvard Medical School as a post-doctoral researcher. We are so proud of everything you…

Ileana, Cora, and Dawei gave oral presentations; Jaime and Katelyn gave lightning talks; Josh, Jaime, Xinlei, Katelyn, and Matt presented posters; and the entire lab attended the 17th Annual US Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) conference. 

Michelle was one of three speakers to open the spring semester of Princeton's Molecular Biology Colloquium, giving an overview of the many computational avenues and accomplishments her PhD work has followed the past four years.

In recognition of her impressive graduate work thus far, Cora's application for an F31 fellowship with the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID) was accepted for funding. Congratulations on this well-deserved opportunity, Cora!
