UCSF’s Kevan Shokat, PhD, just won the $1M Stephenson Global Prize for research in pancreatic cancer. He cracked KRAS, a cancer driver long considered “undruggable.” Drugs built on his work now treat lung and pancreatic cancer. ow.ly/xVlw50ZRSXh

I’m thrilled to share that our paper is out in Molecular Cell! We developed Ribo-Tweezer, a new technology that lets us rapidly and reversibly remove specific proteins from mature ribosomes to ask what they actually do in translation.

This work was led by the incredible @Chenyx_Ribo and @ChingPinCheng1 , with Kitra Cates and many wonderful collaborators. Deeply grateful to the whole team and to our collaborators @RuggeroDavide , Sharon Pitteri, @anshulkundaje , and others.

We hope Ribo-Tweezer opens the door to dissecting how ribosome composition, ribosome-associated proteins, and specialized translation programs shape development, disease, and cell fate. Paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1n8Ig…

Protein synthesis is not equally accurate across organs.
Excited to share our new preprint:
biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
We developed a new mouse model to quantitatively monitor translation errors and uncovered the spatiotemporal dynamics of the “quality” of protein synthesis.

SDB is sad to announce the passing of Gail R. Martin (1944-2026) after a short illness in San Francisco. Martin served as SDB President in 2007 and was the recipient the Conklin Medal in 2002 and the @FASEBorg Excellence in Science Award in 2011. bit.ly/4aIfu5d

Ok, as some of you know I love fashion, art, and science. I just read about this amazing artist Ires Van Herpen who was featured in Nature on how she combines science in her fashion. I wonder whether more scientists know about her work? It is absolutely amazing!!
