Samvida, an undergrad in the lab, presented a poster in the annual Princeton Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) Poster Session, an event that highlights the summer research of more than 50 undergraduate scientists. Her poster focused on her computational work to develop a user-friendly interface that maps subcellular proteome…

Graduate students Krystal (IFI16 dynamics) and Laura (HCMV-induced protein acetylation), in addition to Ileana (current lab research), were invited to speak at the IHW conference in Vancouver, Canada. Both Krystal and Laura also received a merit-based registration award for their talk abstracts, and Laura's talk was included in the IHW Spotlight…

This year's ASV conference, held at the University of Maryland, invited the grad students Cora (SIRT4 antiviral function), Katelyn (peroxisome biogenesis in HCMV infection), Tim (IFI16 oligermization dynamics), and Bokai (post-translational modification of cGAS) to give oral presentations. Ileana also chaired a Herpesvirus session.

Joel, Pierre, and Yutaka headed to California for the annual American Society of Mass Spectrometry meeting in San Diego. They also all presented posters on their work, representing our lab in subjects ranging from mechnical stress to organelle remodeling.

Xinlei, a graduate student in the lab, presented his work on protein acetylation at the annual herpesvirus symposium held at U Penn.

Xinlei, a graduate student, traveled to Boston, MA for a week to engage in a mass-spectrometry data analysis and computational workflows workshop.

Warm congratulations for Elizabeth, who just completed her PhD! Elizabeth is starting a career with McKenzie & Co. in September, 2018, and plans to travel the world in the meantime.

Todd, a postdoc, and three graduate students - Elizabeth, Krystal, and Xinlei - all had the opportunity to give talks at the annual US HUPO conference in Minneapolis, MN.

The CHDI Huntington's Foundation invited both Todd and Joel to attend their annual conference in Palm Springs, CA. Joel also presented a poster on their work to improve proteomic isolation methods and uncover the interactions between Huntingtin and other neural proteins. 

After nearly two years of participating in the NJ Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI), Cora accepts an offer to become the co-head of PTI. PTI organizes weekly college-level courses for prison inmates across New Jersey that are taught by current graduate students, and provide the inmates with college credit.
