Assistant professor of Biochemistry @CU Boulder. We study Ubiquilins and how dysregulation of the virus-like protein PEG10 contributes to neurodegenerative disease upon UBQLN2 mutation. I'm lucky to lead a great group of scientists in a beautiful place!
I do a meandering stitch, for some reason that’s the easiest for me. But the beauty of having your machine is that you can practice whenever you want! Jealous!

We were hugely inspired by the great work on TEs in disease published by @joshdubnau.bsky.social, @bessfrost.bsky.social, @mollygale.bsky.social, @lyleostrow.bsky.social and many others who really laid the foundation for this exploration into retroTEs and their role in nervous system function!
