Assistant professor of Biochemistry @CU Boulder. We study Ubiquilins and how dysregulation of the virus-like protein PEG10 contributes to neurodegenerative disease upon UBQLN2 mutation. I'm lucky to lead a great group of scientists in a beautiful place!
We were hugely inspired by the great work on TEs in disease published by @joshdubnau.bsky.social, @bessfrost.bsky.social, @mollygale.bsky.social, @lyleostrow.bsky.social and many others who really laid the foundation for this exploration into retroTEs and their role in nervous system function!
