Excited to share my PhD work in the Kranzusch Lab published in @nature.com!

Two key discoveries:
- Nucleotides can act as negative regulators of antiviral immunity
- Ion channel activation is gated by DNA

Thank you to our all collaborators! @soreklab.bsky.social

Celebrating 14 years of science, teamwork, and resilience! To mark our lab’s anniversary, we traded pipettes for pottery—turns out shaping clay is just as therapeutic as shaping experiments. With NIH funding uncertainties, a little calm goes a long way. Grateful for this team! #LabLife

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science

But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities

With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

Excellent study demonstrating that chronically low NMNAT2 levels in neurons leads to NMN-induced SARM1 activation and subsequent axon degeneration. Their findings provide critical insight into the pathogenesis of partial loss-of-function mutations in NMNAT2 in humans with early-onset neuropathy.
