Excited to welcome @tejashyamk.bsky.social to the ERC starting grant team, as he starts his PhD! Teja joins us from @sc-lab.bsky.social, where he built a solid foundation in biochemistry & #cryoEM 🔬 He’ll be uncovering new insights into norovirus replication and assembly. Exciting science ahead!

Double gain this week. Had a wonderful time @embo.org CEM3DIP 2026 cryo-EM workshop at @IIT Delhi & RCB. Also reconnected with my mentor Gabe Lander @landerlab.bsky.social and did GO grid prep with him. Was fun to be a mentee again. Thanks Manidipa Banerjee, Prem Kaushal and the organizers.

Another one flew off today. We all said Good bye to @tejashyamk.bsky.social with both joy and heavy heart as he heads to @danielhurdiss.bsky.social lab at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social to start his PhD. We wish him all the best and looking forward to his success and an exciting journey ahead.

My lab at UMass Chan Med School uses a variety of approaches to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of membrane traffic. Striving to make academic science a more diverse, equitable, welcoming and inclusive place. Incoming President for the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB)! Opinions are mine.

A SPIN90 dimer can either interact with a single Arp2/3 complex or two Arp2/3 complexes there either nucleating uni or bidirectional actin filaments, that can lead to multidirectional actin networks in cells for various processes. #cytoskeleton, #actin, #cellbiology

This study highlights the importance of the middle segment of SPIN90 and how it helps in its dimerisation. This is critical for each SPIN90 molecule to make unique activating interactions with different Arp2/3 complex subunits.

Also thanks to our collabotors Heidy Ortiz and Brad Nolen from @universityoforegon.bsky.social. This work would not have been possible without the support of #CSIR-India and #CSIR-CCMB.

Happy to share our lab's recent #cryoEM studies that show how a SPIN90 dimer activates Arp2/3 complex to form either uni or bidirectional actin filaments. Congrats🎉👏 @justusfrancis.bsky.social @achyutha-kp.bsky.social @tejashyamk.bsky.social @sridharskulkarni.bsky.social @kiranvyshnav.bsky.social
