Angelica Guercio has won a 2020-2021 Summer GSR Award – Integrative Genetics & Genomics Graduate Group’s. Angelica will continue her PhD studies on plant receptors sensing mechanisms; and will initiate the development of advanced integrated computational strategy to using Virtual Reality tools.
Isabella Glenn (Izzy), our undergrad researcher, has been selected to be a Kevin Gardner Research Scholar as part of the College of Biological Science Dean’s Circle Summer Undergraduate Research Program. This fellowship will help Izzy to continue her research in the Shabek Lab during the summer.
Prof. Shabek receives the 2020 UC Davis Early Career Faculty Award for Innovation and Creativity. The award was established to honor and support the advances of outstanding tenure-track faculty members early in their careers. Read more about it: www.ucdavis.edu/news/innovation-award

As part of this program, Alex will be…
Congratulations to Dr. Shabek and the Zheng lab at UW on their paper “Structural insights into DDA1 function as a core component of the CRL4-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase,” published today in Cell Discovery (Nature).
Dr. Shabek’s work demonstrating structural plasticity of the D3–D14 ubiquitin ligase in strigolactone signaling is published in Nature! These findings reveal how D3 can utilize two distinct structural states to control strigolactone signaling. In its closed form, D3 binds to inactive D14. However, in its open conformation, D3 binds to hormone-bound D14 to enable strigolactone…
