Ramen was awarded the 2023-24 UC Merced senate award to study a novel inhibitor of the neuronal activity-induced gene transcription. The proposal is titled, 'A study of BAF complex functions in neurons using novel inhibitor '704'.

We have released our latest preprint, titled: Activity-assembled nBAF complex mediates rapid immediate early gene transcription by regulating RNA Polymerase II productive elongation. This study was led by Karen Cornejo as a part of her thesis project. Andie Venegas and Morgan Sono were amazing...

Andie Venegas was accepted in the QSB Ph.D. program. Andie has chosen to pursue her Ph.D. with us and will start as a graduate student in Spring of 2022. We are excited to have Andie in the lab as a graduate student (along with Morgan and Karen). Welcome Andie!

Check out our review on all host forward genetic screens that have been performed on Apicomplexa parasite infections in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology. Reviewed are the many forward genetic studies over the past several decades that have revealed multiple aspects of host-parasite...

Felipe Rodriguez, undergraduate researcher then mentored assistant in the Jensen lab, was accepted into UC Davis Graduate School in the Program of Immunology. We are so proud! Congratulations! Our socially distanced going away party below.

More awards! Wow! At this years 22nd Annual Woods Hole Immunoparasitology Meeting (WHIP) graduate students Angel Kongsomboonvech and Scott Souza win AAI Young Investigator Awards for their oral and poster presentations, respectively. Congrats Angel and Scott!! I imagine there will be more in the...

Congratulations to postdoctoral researcher Juan Sanchez-Arcila who received a Young Investigator Award (BioLegend) for outstanding oral presentation at the Midwinter Conference of Immunologists (MCI) 2023. This is well deserved, and his work on the Collaborative Cross is super interesting! Pictured...
