Work from Robert McGinty & colleagues solved cryo-EM structures of nucleosomes in complex with lysine demethylase KDM2, revealing that KDM2A anchors to the acidic patch to direct histone H3K36-specific demethylation. Free to read: rdcu.be/c5MAP nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
And that’s a wrap on my undergraduate work in @McGintyLab's lab! This project gave me the best introduction to structure-function biochemistry I could've asked for. So grateful for @gabbygrowsxtals for being the best mentor through it all 🫶🏼

Congrats @catler4ohsu & @a_skrajna @gabbygrowsxtals @actualDNA @nate_wesley3 of @McGintyLab & all authors on your new pub Structural basis of paralog-specific KDM2A/B nucleosome recognition out today 2/16/23 in Nature Chemical Biology! #xraycrystallography #cryoEM
I'm incredibly proud to share with you my latest work, published today! nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Many thanks to all the co-authors especially the first-co author @catler4ohsu (formerly in the @McGintyLab) who solved the CryoEM structures! @gabbygrowsxtals did x-ray studies and @nate_wesley3 developed the TR-FRET for nucleosome interactions!
One of the most influential professors I have ever encountered!!

Our students are incredible. They give me hope for the future and I see how they are ready to go out and change the world. As we finish the semester, here are a few of their stories. unc.live/3k0Wjtl
Had a great time speaking with Kingswood students! Cant wait to see them grow into amazing scientists!!

We would like to thank Dalal Azzam for speaking to our 5th graders about her personal STEM journey, advice for becoming successful student, and informing students about her current research and classes at UNC-CH.

I want to take a moment to recognize the support systems I have had by my side the whole time. It takes a village and I wouldn’t be where I am today without so many people including @biochemgabby @McGintyLab and @CSS_Science
They grow up so fast 🥲🥲🥲

Yesterday I gave a speech and it was the first time I publicly pronounced my name correctly. It was very empowering. I think I’m going to do it more often ❤️
