LJI Asst Prof Sam Myers shows how to screen 1000s of post-trans mods to explore biochem pathways and circuits at scale - here, to explore T cell activation. Am beaming with pride at our new recruit and all he is building. @SAMyers_lab @ljiresearch.
New from @SAMyers_lab! Combining genome-wide CRISPR–Cas9-mediated base editors with temporally resolved phosphoproteomics enables the functional screening of thousands of post-translational modification sites involved in T cell activation.

Absolutely beautiful #Ebola cryoET on infected and transfected cells with surprising insights. The most satisfying thing, after 20 years in this field, is how early biochemical puzzles are now fitting together @ReikaWatanabe2 @ljiresearch.
We are excited to share our first in situ cryo-FIB-ET manuscript from @ljiresearch in biorxiv! We have revealed the nucleocapsid assembly process and presented the atomic model of the intracellular nucleocapsid of the Ebola virus, which causes highly lethal hemorrhagic fever.

New on biorxiv, the Ebola virus nucleocapsid has an additional outer layer: NP+genome on the inside; alternating 1-up, 1-down VP24 in the mid; and a newly visualized outer layer of NP held RNA-free by VP35. CryoET @ReikaWatanabe2 #teamtomo @ljiresearch

Dr. Grifoni's lab is doing insightful work @ljiresearch. Her #Tcell research changes how we think about immune responses to #SARSCoV2 and other deadly viruses #SanDiego #Immunology.
LJI Research Assistant Prof. Alba Grifoni (@Alba_Grifoni) investigates how we might harness #Tcells to better fight #SARSCoV2, #Lassa and more. "You need to consider both T cell and B cell responses in vaccine design.". Read our Q&A with Dr. Grifoni:
