A round of applause to Erin for winning the 2021 Lakshmi Raman Graduate Research Award from the Department of Chemistry! This award is given to graduate students who have demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of women in higher education and in STEM fields. Way to go, Erin!
Here’s a super adorable cartoon of Agya and Herra made by the Beal lab resident artist, Kevin Pham! Together, Agya and Herra had been optimizing the purification of ADAR1 p110 and figured they should name their collaboration as Team Coomassie Blues Clues (LOL!).
Check out this really cool paper by Erin and Xander in JACS! Great job, guys!
Rational Design of RNA Editing Guide Strands: Cytidine Analogs at the Orphan Position
Check out this cool paper about the effect of acidification on ADAR activity! Well done Erin and Vandana on this collaborative work with the Emeson lab!
Congratulations to our three lab members who won poster awards during the recently concluded Miller Symposium!
Agya Karki – Best Graduate Student Poster
Herra Grajo – ACS Biochemistry Poster Award
Erin Doherty – Accounts of Chemical Research Poster Award
Good job, everyone!
Hats off to Erin for being the runner up for the Best Student Talk at the 2nd International Base Editing Conference (Deaminet 2021) last January 24-25. Erin did an awesome job describing her work on the rational design of oligonucleotide guide strands for site directed RNA editing by ADARs!
Congratulations to SeHee for completing her Ph.D. and for her new job as a postdoctoral fellow at the Joung lab in Harvard Medical School and Massachussets General Hospital! Thank you for your huge contributions to the Beal lab and we hope you enjoy Boston!
Congratulations Kevin and co-authors on their new publication, “Ester modification at the 3′ end of anti-microRNA oligonucleotides increases potency of microRNA inhibition.” Read the full text here!
