The Merg lab visited Dos Palos High School and gives a presentation on nanotechnology in front of high school students. Great job Emil, Anthony, and Douglas for leading this event and providing high schoolers the opportunity to learn about graduate school, research life, and some exciting new...

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!

The preprint " Accurate sequence-to-affinity models for SH2 domains from multi-round peptide binding assays coupled with free-energy regression" is out on bioRxiv.
