Excited to share our new pre-print. Direct, ensemble FRET assays developed by our lab reveal that assembly of Rad51 filaments at stalled replication sites via RPA/Rad51 exchange causes complete & irreversible PCNA unloading. Big implications for interplay between human DNA damage tolerance pathways

By attacking science: We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care. We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit. We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.

One more bioRxiv update (v3) on MDC1 and DNA repair dysfunction in #lobular breast cancer: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We worked w @foundationmedicine.bsky.social to see whether ILC mutations manifest as repair 'loss of function', and tumor genomes say... nope :). The ILC phenotype is unique!

I have written to Sen McCormick about my concerns on the defunding of US science. I finally received a response! He is supportive of research & thinks the F&A rates should be returned to previously negotiated rates! Thanks to @audreydrotos.bsky.social & @laurenkreeger.bsky.social for talking to him!

Annika rightfully points out that though this is positive, this is going to SERIOUSLY burden an NIH staff that is actively being further depleted. Be nice to your SROs, POs, and GMSs, folks...

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

A great pleasure to share our newest paper out this morning @cp-molcell.bsky.social. We show that damage to nascent RNAs should not be ignored, and under certain conditions, these can turn into DNA breaks. We call this phenomena RDIBs (RNA Damage Induced Breaks). www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Exciting new preprint led by @glowingtelomeres.bsky.social reveals how 6-thio-dG (THIO drug) targets telomeres in cancers. This drug “traps” telomerase in a non-productive state to prevent telomere lengthening and cancer cell growth. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
