Thank you so much Tina!! I truly appreciate your guidance, support, and encouragement throughout this journey!!
Congrats to @RunChesterZhang on a fantastic thesis defense! His thesis developed activity-dependent proximity labeling tools for activated neurons—displaying a mastery of protein engineering, optimization, & characterization of enzyme modules. We will miss you in the lab, Run!

Thanks to my mentor @tinakim_neuro for the guidance and support, Kim lab members @LatinaNeuroNerd, Sophia Lin, Joshua Chandra, and Sruti Vadde for all the hard work to push this project forward, and our great collaborators @DEOlsonLab and Isak Aarrestad to make it a robust story.

Here we present the very first paper of our lab for a calcium-dependent version of split-TurboID (CaST). It allows rapid and non-invasive labeling of active neurons for both in vitro and in vivo applications simply by exogenous biotin administration.
And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today @naturemethods! Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles:

Excited to share the first paper from our lab! https://t.co/sqfHd5couA We engineered a new kind of time-gated calcium integrator, CaST, that can rapidly and non-invasively tag activated neurons in vivo with a small, biochemical handle. What makes this tool special and unique? 1/6

Kim Lab’s first SFN, featuring new postdoc @jessie_muir! Also Day 1 of #FairUCNow. These people ARE the lab, and they deserve fair compensation and livable wages. It’s going to be an intense ride, and we’re here to support it.
