Check out our latest collaboration with @KlannLab on light-triggered and cell-type specific proteomic labeling! Privileged to continue working with such talented neuroscientists @harrisontevans.
Hot off the press: our latest work detailing a novel method for the light-inducible, cell-type specific labelling of newly synthesized proteins. This work is the fruit of a wonderful collaboration between the @KlannLab and @DirkTrauner labs!

Pre-print four our latest work is out! We use a photoswitchable #PROTAC as a tool to control synaptic function in mouse brain slices. @DirkTrauner @CG_JOU @aa_fenton @xmr128 . Could be used to study and even manipulate memories!.

Well, time to pack up 📦🚚🫡.
I am honored to announce that I will join the University of Pennsylvania this summer as a PIK Professor.
