Congratulations to the Shabek Lab especially Angelica and Fuai – Our NSF funded research with Dudareva group at Purdue University is now published in Science – more discoveries on KAI2 signaling pathway:Volatile communication in plants relies on a KAI2-mediated signaling pathway.
Hats off to Dr. Angelica Guercio, the latest Ph.D. graduate from our lab! Congratulations on this remarkable well-deserved achievement! Proud of you!
Our new paper on new role of the C-terminal of SCF-D3/MAX2 ubiquitin ligase in KAI2-mediated signaling. Published in New Phytologist: Tal, L., Guercio, AM., Varshney, K., Young, A., Gutjahr, C., and Shabek, N. (2023). LINK
Our postdoc, Dr. Fuai Sun, is the recipient of the 2023 Plant Biology Chair’s Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow Award. So well deserved, keep it up!
Congratulations, Angelica!!! The recipient of the 2023 Dean’s Grad Students Mentoring Award. For her outstanding devotion to train & mentor undergrads and junior researchers in the lab.
Congratulations to Dr. Lior Tal, one of our lab’s first postoctoral fellows (since 2019), for landing a PI/Assistant Professor position and will start the Tal Lab at Tel Aviv University (Plant Sciences) in Israel! Proud of you, well done and good luck, Lior!
Congratulations to the Shabek lab (Fuai and Malathy) recent publication – our Cover Page (credits to Dr. Shabek:-) has been selected as the cover page for September 2022 Volume of Journal of Structural Biology.
Congratulations!!! The Shabek lab just received a huge grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) – Biological and Environmental Research (BER) division. This funds will support our lab in collaboration with Justin Walley group (Iowa State U) and Andrew Groover (USDA Forest Services) to investigate the ubiquitin system in trees and drought response using multiomics…
Katherine Hand and Dr. Nitzan Shabek’s new paper is now published in International Journal of molecular Sciences. We highlighted recent studies that reveal new function of E3 ubiquitin ligases and their roles in chloroplast function.
Congratulation on new funded project!!! Together with Natalia Doudareva from Purdue University, Dr. Shabek received $1.5M to study new hormone-like pathway. This would be our third NSF Award in two years!!
