Congratulations to Anu, Javi, and Peter for presenting posters at the 2024 CBI Symposium last month! If you're wondering why Peter isn't pictured, it's because he's the man behind the camera! Thanks Peter! #research #science #biochemistry #CBI #UF #gators

New Preprint from our lab. The @BrunerLab and us developed yeast strains to perform functional genomics studies of the signal recognition particle. We were surprised strains with titratable expressions of the SRP complex did not exist, so we built some. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
