It's really happening! There was an EMAIL!

Hi everyone,

I am very pleased to announce that Anne ------ (Chemical Biology) and Leah ------ (Medicinal Chemistry) will be conducting their PhD thesis work in our laboratory, starting in early May. These additions clearly strengthen and extend our core abilities. Please join me in welcoming them back!

Anne will be working to understand how Hsp70s and J proteins converge on specific substrates to make fate decisions. She will be using proteomic and genetic approaches to understand how this multi-protein complex forms and how it is regulated.

Leah will be finding new ways of targeting Hsp27 to impact neurodegenerative disease. She is interested in using this system as a model for how complex, homo-oligomeric, non-enzymes can be targeted in drug discovery.

Cheers,

Jason

:D ;___♥ :DDDD

CONGRATULATIONS, BB!

I know you'll do well. You deserve this.

TEEHEE. It kind of is! Our babies decide whether other proteins go on to live happy lives or if they get CHOPPED INTO TINY PIECES. It's all very dramatic. :D

Thank you hon! <33

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Heee it REALLY is. Thank you hon! <33

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hee, maybe one day I will sit down and put my research into layman's terms. But in the meantime, SO EXCITED! Thank you! <333

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

*beams* Thank you!!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's okay! It was mostly preserved for my own memory. :D Thaaaaank you bb! <3

And isn't it awesome that it's ladies? After three dudes graduate from his lab next year, it's gonna be six ladies and three dudes, plus some lady undergrads. Girl power! :D

Definitely terrifying, but mostly awesome at this point. :D Thank you!!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, thanks babe, I'll need that!

*glomps back* Yaaay, thank you! <33
