2020-21 will be a year to remember, not because of the pandemic, but for the success of Kim Marinelli and Gita Mallya in their graduate research. Congratulations on receiving your Master’s degrees from the Viticulture and Enology program. Looking forward to drinking your success in the future!
It was never in doubt. Congratulations Taylor for earning your PhD in Food Science. An amazing colleague to have in my group who is off to blaze new trails in data science.
Not to be left out, Ryuta had a paper accepted on non-coding RNA based nucleosome positioning and transcriptional regulation in fission yeast. Congrats!
Congratulations to Theresa, our newly joined BMCDB PhD trainee, for being offered a trainee position in both the Molecular and Cellular Biology and NIEHS T32 training programs at UC Davis. While she was only able to accept one of these positions, we are thankful for the support of both programs and the NIH. A great start Theresa! We sure look forward to the annual T32 retreat at Fallen Leaf Lake and many more such awards in the future.
Congratulations to Aniketa for graduating this past June and landing a job as a junior specialist at UCSF. Best of luck with your scientific adventures!
For Azra, this has been a great summer. She defended her PhD with great acclaim, published a methods paper on single molecule imaging, and had her most recent work accepted to eLife describing a novel role for Dbp5p in tRNA nuclear export. No wonder she has her own cheering section.
Arvind has been accepted into the prestigious Yeast Genetics & Genomics course at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with a travel award too! Way to go Arvind!
We have grown again with the addition of a postdoc to the lab, Ryuta Asada, who performed his PhD work in Japan using fission yeast to study transcriptional control. Looking forward to introducing him to the other yeast!
