New collaborative NSF-BBSRC grant!
We recently received funding from NSF-BBSRC to start a 3-year collaborative project with Dominic Campopiano (University of Edinburgh) and Ziqiang Guan (Duke). Our SynBioSphinx project will study the mechanism of bacterial sphingolipid synthesis with the goal of developing a platform for in vitro sphingolipid production.
AimB paper published in Biophysical Journal
It only took about 10 years, but our paper on AimB, a regulator of MreB function, is now published in Biophysical Journal. This was a fantastic collaboration with Zemer Gitai (Princeton) and KC Huang (Stanford) and uses experimental and computational approaches to determine the mechanism of action of this novel prokaryotic cytoskeletal regulator. Check out … Continue reading AimB paper published in Biophysical Journal…
