Priyom's preprint is out on biorxiv. See below for a detailed thread. In a nutshell, she has discovered and characterized the oscillator that times notochord and spine segmentation in zebrafish. Turns out that there are uniform Erk oscillations across the entire tissue that act as timekeepers!

1/27 We have a new paper out! Turns out that snowflake yeast have been hiding a secret from us - they've evolved a (very!) crude circulatory system. Not with blood vessels or a heart, but through spontaneous fluid flows powered by their metabolism. 🧪🔬 www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Another excellent opportunity to share some new ideas and thoughts about my ongoing research on renal physiology! It’s high time to tinker about electrophysiology, cardiology as well as neurobiology! 🤓

It was tremendous fun to give a department seminar like this one! 🥳

Super excited to wrap up the spring quarter as the last seminar speaker at UCSD Bioengineering! I’m thrilled to meet Shu Chien this morning, and looking forward to more discussions this afternoon.

Delighted to share that I will give a department seminar at UCSD 𝑺𝒉𝒖 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒏 - 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑩𝒊𝒐𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 on Friday, June 6th. be.ucsd.edu/seminar/2025... Join us in La Jolla at 2pm in The FUNG Auditorium.

I have been selected by the UCLA Molecular Biology Institute for the 2025 Boyer/Parvin Posteoctoral Award. 🥳🥳🥳 Initiated by Paul Boyer since his Nobel Prize in 1997, this honor is now supported by the Parvin foundation to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Boyer, beyond ATP synthase and the sodium pump.

Constantly mind-blowing to learn how mitochondria adapt bioenergetically during “intensive exercise”, especially in the case of long-distance avian migration!

Such an introspective conversation about the cognitive process of scientific inquiries! From a scientist who never fails to inspire. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Very much appreciate the opportunity to present my research and connect with fellow rising stars last week @salkinstitute.bsky.social lingyunxiong.github.io/2025/05/01/S...

It's fun to read about the scientific journey of Dr. Correa and her work. Truly delighted to have such role models in the department at UCLA.
