JSB – the Journal Cover Page featuring our BAM8 paper.
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.
DOE Award to the Shabek lab
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…
Our new paper is out – Role of E3 Ligases in Chloroplasts
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.
New NSF grant to the Shabek Lab!!!
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!!
Natalie received the 2022-23 Summer GSR Award!
Congratulations!!! Natalie Hamada has won the 2022-2023 Summer Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) Fellowship Award .
