Yale MB&B's Karla Neugebauer and Guillermina Kubaczka have been featured in a new @natmethods.nature.com piece 🌍🔬 The article spotlights researchers bridging the molecular and planetary scales to address global health challenges. @karlaneugebauer.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to Susan Baserga, William H. Fleming Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, on being named a Fellow of the AAAS! Learn more about her recognition and the other Yale affiliates named to the latest class of @aaas.org Fellows:

MB&B's Dr. Christian Schlieker is featured in the Spring 2026 issue of Dystonia Dialogue from the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation. His lab has been dissecting the genetic networks underlying dystonia, a severe movement disorder. Check out the article for a look at where his work is heading.

From a Wisconsin dairy farm to Sterling Professor & HHMI Investigator at Yale 🧬 MB&B Chair Ron Breaker's discovery of riboswitches is now connecting to human health, with new findings on guanidine-sensing RNAs and spinocerebellar ataxia. Read more here: mbb.yale.edu/news/feature...

🧠Pain sensors need to switch on fast—and off just as quickly. In our new tour de force Nat Comms paper - led by the first Paulsen lab grad student - we show that calmodulin plays a key role in shutting down the TRPA1 pain receptor - a finding that could guide new pain therapies. 📰 rdcu.be/eJcMK

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s retreat at the Heritage Hotel. A special thank you to retreat coordinators Enrique De La Cruz, Rachel Agosto, and Liz Vellali!

🔬 Join us LIVE on Zoom this Wednesday, June 11, at 4 PM ET! We’re excited to co-host the RNA Collaborative Seminar Series featuring 🎙️ Dr. @siggyn5.bsky.social (Yale RNA Center) 🎙️ Dr. Alex Wesselhoeft (HMS Initiative for RNA Medicine) Registration 👉 lnkd.in/e-9Huhzd

🧬 June RNA Club at Yale 📅 Tuesday, June 10th, 2025 📍 Location: Bass Center 305, Yale Science Building (Science Hill) This month’s speakers: 🔹 Dr. Chengtao Xu (Ke Lab) 🔹 Dr. Jyotsna Kumar (Garg Lab) 📣 Come for the science—stay for the conversations!

We’ve pioneered a disease-agnostic screening platform for aberrant biomolecular condensates—cellular structures linked to incurable neurological diseases. We screened genes and FDA-approved drugs that modulate disease-relevant nuclear condensates: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Join us next week for MB&B's Computational Biophysics & Biochemistry Symposium on 6/17 in Bass 305!

we are beyond proud that our @yalembb.bsky.social @schliekerlab.bsky.social undergraduate researcher Sophia graduated as the sole @Yale Colleague '25 graduate with an exceptional distinction in the major! Congrats Sophia for this richly deserved honor!
