The Molecular Cell Bio Group are pleased to welcome Brooks Crickard, an assciate professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics! He will be giving a talk titled “Should I stay or should I go now? How protein phosphorylation regulations two DNA translocases during homologus recombination.” Please find the specific abstract of his talk below. This event will be held in Weill Hall 226 @ 4PM on 05/02. We hope to see you there! Abstract: Rad54 and Rdh54 are two highly conserved DNA motor proteins that function to maintain genomic integrity during homologous recombination (HR). These motors are paralogs that function in a partially redundant fashion. Despite the overlap in function,  each motor makes unique contributions to HR during the repair process....

The Cornell Center for Innovative Proteomics (CIP@Cornell) is excited to launch the first edition of the CIP@Cornell Journal Club. If you are a graduate student or postdoc and are looking for an opportunity to present and engage your peers in a discussion on a recent publication in the field of proteomics, please consider signing up. The CIP@Cornell Journal Club will hold discussions of scientific articles that present current proteomics technologies, tools and resources, and their applications in life science. Articles can be selected from a broad range of fields including but not limited to biology, bioinformatics, genetics, chemistry, biomedicine, nutrition, and plant biology. The CIP@Cornell Journal Club will be held monthly in 421 Weill...
