Excited to share that I’ve started my lab as an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Thank you to all the mentors, friends, and colleagues who have supported me throughout the years!

The results are in: top codes in Stanford #RNA 3D Folding @kaggle.com competition are competitive with CASP16-leading humans Vfold, beat AlphaFold 3. Top team’s trick was template-based modeling, not #DeepLearning. Congrats: john, odat, Eigen, + all 1706 participants! www.kaggle.com/competitions...

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...
Covariation MS uncovers a protein that controls cysteine catabolism - Nature
A mass spectrometry-based approach globally identifies protein regulators of metabolism and reveals the role of LRRC58 in controlling cysteine catabolism.

We are seeking a life science research professional/technician (medcareers.stanford.edu/job/stanford...) and a postdoctoral fellow(postdocs.stanford.edu/prospective/...). If you are interested in using mass spec and machine learning to understand protein function and druggability please reach out!
