I'm a scientist at Harvard Medical School and I specialize in mass spectrometry, proteomics, and bioinformatics. I spend most of my time thinking about protein-protein interactions!

I’m at the airport a and ready to fly to Toronto for this year’s HUPO conference. I’m looking forward to talking about AP-MS tips and tricks at tomorrow’s pre-conference workshop on protein-protein interactions and sharing our latest BioPlex results in a poster on Wednesday!

Check out this thread from @haopengxiao.bsky.social on his recent paper! I’m happy I was able to help out on what has turned out to be a really cool story.
We developed a MS and machine learning approach to globally identify protein regulators of metabolism. We found protein LRRC58 controls cellular cysteine catabolism by mediating degradation of CDO1, the rate-limiting enzyme of the catabolic cysteine shunt to taurine. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A mass spectrometry-based approach globally identifies protein regulators of metabolism and reveals the role of LRRC58 in controlling cysteine catabolism.

Hey @haopengxiao.bsky.social - it’s great to see you on BlueSky!

Could your new account be a sign you might have something cool to announce soon???? ;-)

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab. We show that PTMs like phosphorylation & glycosylation dynamically reshape proteome-wide ligandability in cells, including proteins like KRAS. Great collaboration with the Huang Lab, @forlilab.bsky.social and BMS. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Post-Translational Modifications Remodel Proteome-Wide Ligandability

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

#ASMS2025 is fast approaching, and I'm looking forward to catching up with friends and seeing a lot of great mass spectrometry research. If you’re there, check out my Tuesday talk (TOE 3:10 PM) to learn how BioPlex is enhancing drug discovery!

Harvard's president tells NPR he finds Trump's recent measures "perplexing."

"Why cut off research funding? Sure, it hurts Harvard, but it hurts the country," he said, adding that those dollars are awarded to efforts deemed "high-priority work" by the government. https://n.pr/43hPDhX

NIH's work saves lives—& Trump is gutting it.

Straight from D.C. I headed to Seattle Children's to hear from researchers & patients alike about the importance of NIH funding—it's not just about lines in a budget, it's about lifesaving discoveries.

We ALL need to speak up to save it.

This essay from @erinbakerims.bsky.social does a good job summarizing the challenges facing scientists in the current climate and is well worth reading.
