If you like transcription regulation and its mechanisms, this WIP list is for you.

I'm sure I've forgotten lots of people, so don't hesitate to let me know so I can add you to the list.

News in the history of molecular biology. The Science History Institute in Philadelphia has acquired a huge archive of correspondence and other scientific material from the pioneers of molecular biology (Franklin, Klug, Perutz, Delbrück etc, with items from Crick and Watson, too). 1/n
History of Molecular Biology Collection
This unparalleled collection includes Rosalind Franklin's historic 'Photo 51,' which revealed the double-helix structure of DNA.

📢 New publication on the Glucocorticoid Receptor IDP domain in collaboration with @alirezamashaghi.bsky.social lab. Always a pleasure to learn from new approaches & techniques. So much still to understand from #nuclearreceptors
On disordered topologically compact states in intrinsically disordered proteins! We explored this concept in the context of the human Glucocorticoid Receptor.
