Trilled and humbled to received the 2025 Outstanding Faculty Research Award by Department of Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte. Thankful to my mentors, collaborators, current/former lab members, friends and family. @emgsus.bsky.social @asbmb.bsky.social

Among the anti-recombinases, FIGNL1 rules them all. So much that inactivating it brings BRCA2-deficient cells to life. Who is responsible for RAD51 loading without BRCA2/FIGNL1, check out the paper to find out! Great collaboration with @raychaudhurilab.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our paper in Science is out! @souravagrawal.bsky.social, @rlynn.bsky.social, @susvirkar.bsky.social, and the rest of the team show human RPA is a telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our thinking about telomerase regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our #EMGS2025 Sam Wilson Award Lecturer, Mark Hedglin is presenting a wonderful talk in Platform 1: DNA Repair, "Rad6 Is Dynamically Accessible for Activation Within the Rad6(Rad18)2 Complex: Mechanistic Insights into a Ubiquitin Cascade Critical for Human DNA Damage Tolerance"!

Our #EMGS2025 Hollaender Award Lecturer, Dr. Carole Yauk is speaking now! Attendees: Don’t say you would’ve, could’ve, should’ve been there, and go see her talk, “The Eras Tour: A Genomic Journey Through the Evolution of Applied Genetic Toxicology.”

Our #EMGS2025 EMGS Award Lecturer, Dr. Dana Dolinoy, is starting off day four of #EMGS2025 with a fantastic talk on "Toxicoepigenetics and the Use of piRNA for Precision Environmental Health Research"!
