Ribo-ITP is a novel strategy that leverages the principles of microfluidics and isotachophoresis (ITP) to fundamentally alter how we isolate ribosome footprints. Spec...

In a wonderful collaboration with Palazzo Lab, we used ribosome profiling to demonstrate that PKM expression influences translation dynamics. Specifically, we observed significant changes on tr...

Addressing the lack of standardized, scalable software for Multiplexed Assays of Variant Effect (MAVEs), we introduce 'satmut_utils', a flexible, high-performance tool for variant simulation and q...

Ian presented his recent work on a high-throughput approach to measure variant effects at the Molecular Biosciences retreat. His talk won the best talk award. Congratulations Ian!

Our paper, on the function of the NSP1 protein on SARS-CoV-2 infection, recieved the RNA Journal Prize on biology, genetics and cell biology. We congratulate Shilpa for leading this wo...

Amber was awarded $150,000 by winning the third place at the National Regeneron Science Talent Search among 1800 participants. She received this wonderful award for her project in the l...

We are thrilled to share our latest preprint describing our new ribosome profiling approach: Ribo-ITP. This work is the culmination of six years of development by many talented scientists. S...

Our paper, on the function of the NSP1 protein on SARS-CoV-2 infection, is highlighted on the September 2021 issue of the RNA journal. From the abstract of our manuscript: "Viruse...

We are very happy to see Alia join our team. Alia recently graduated from UT and she is our new research associate.

We are sad to see Tori leave our lab for medical school. She made crucial contributions in establishing our lab as well as starting our projects at UT. She will be missed in Cenik Lab! We wish T...
