Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function
Hundreds of mitochondrial-destined proteins rely on N-terminal presequences for organellar targeting and import. While generally described as positively charged amphipathic helices, presequences lack ...

Could not have made it this far without the amazing mentorship of @nieminm.bsky.social !!
VERY proud that @kerikozul.bsky.social has been selected as a finalist for the UMDF Accelerators Grant!! Keri has been outstandingly productive in her first year in the lab, making discoveries that form the basis of this grant. Congratulations, Keri - there is no one more deserving! 🥳 #ProudPI
I am incredibly humbled and grateful to be selected as a finalist for the UMDF Accelerators Grant!!
Thank you to the UMDF for this opportunity! I look forward to pitching my research and continuing to learn from the Mito community through this inspiring initiative!
