Biophysics PhD candidate in the Woodson Lab @ Johns Hopkins | NIH F31 Fellow | Bridging the gap between MD simulations & experiments in the RNA (+Hfq) realm.
Baltimore, MD
Joined March 2011
Iβm honored to have been awarded the NIH F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) fellowship from @NIAIDTraining! So thankful to my awesome mentor @woodson_lab for all her support & guidance. Go RNA (and Hfq)! #WomenInSTEM #Gotthegrant π©βπ¬π§¬

Excited to share our new #ribozyme paper in.@NAR_Open! We used activity assays, high-throughput sequencing & all-atom MD to show that the evolution of the glmS ribozyme is constrained by a need to avoid non-native helix interfaces! #RNA @woodson_lab

Iβm late, but π happy #Pride2024 π to all! Iβm Elise (she/her/hers), a PhD student in the @woodson_lab at Johns Hopkins @JHU_Mol_Biophys. I study Hfq-RNA interactions + ribozyme folding. Non-science hobbies: tennis, hiking, watching Netflix/Hulu & exploring new places ππ

Our story about structural switching in the fluoride riboswitch is out in @NAR_Open ππ Check it out!.
(1/3) Excited to share our newest publication!! Fun collaboration with the Chen and Severinov labs to investigate how the fluoride riboswitch rearranges a pseudoknot to form a terminator. See movie generated by @elisew00 and Alan Chen (@TheRNAInstitute).

So grateful to have been part of this collaboration! We fused in vitro assays with all-atom MD to show how the pseudoknot in the aptamer domain of the fluoride riboswitch regulates structural switching ππ.
Preprint alert! "The Effect of Pseudoknot Base Pairing on Cotranscriptional Structural Switching of the Fluoride Riboswitch" in @biorxivpreprint by @Laura_M_Hertz @elisew00 @angelamyu et al. Lots of cool data (including transcribing RNA at 65 Β°C!)
