honored to receive the community engagement award this year 😊 we made an onboarding handbook for *ALL* postdocs at Cornell, and we organize monthly professional development workshops for postdocs across departments - truly a team effort!! news.cornell.edu/stories/2026...

Large serine integrases are great genome engineering tools. How do they go downhill both ways? See our set of structures for both the integration and the excision pathway! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... Many thanks to collaborator @femijohn.bsky.social and postdoc @heewhanshin.bsky.social

Excited to share our work on bacterial immune signaling! Our preprint reveals how RNA-guided Cas13 cleaves host tRNAs to generate small-molecule messengers that activate 2TMβ, linking RNA recognition to membrane damage and phage defense. 1/11

Super excited to share my postdoctoral work at @imbavienna.bsky.social @viennabiocenter.bsky.social - We discovered that some retrotransposons, or "jumping genes" 🧬, are able to spread from cell to cell via a new viral infectivity route. A short thread: 🧵👇 (1/7)
