6th lab paper published!
Piedade WP and Famulski JK. E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated regulation of vertebrate ocular development; new insights into the function of SIAH enzymes. Biochem Soc Trans. 2021 Feb 26;49(1):327-340. doi: 10.1042/BST20200613.
This review outlines the association of E3 ubiquitin ligase function associated with the development of the visual system, with a particular focus on our favorite E3 ligase SIAH. We highlight our recent findings of SIAH regulation of both optic fissure fusion as well as our newly discovered regulation of photoreceptor development, in particular the function of a retinal specific catherine, CDHR1.
Meet and Leo join the lab!
After completing their spring rotations, Meet Patel and Leopoldine Galopin have decided to pursue their PhD degrees in the Famulski lab, yey!
Meet will be following up on our work with Siah1 and Cdhr1a during photoreceptor development and homeostasis
Leo will be joining team POM, following up on our single cell transcriptomic data.
WELCOME TO THE LAB!!!
Brandi Bolton joins the lab!
Brandi recently completed her BSc and decided to join the Famulski lab as our new Fish Facility Manager. We are grateful for her dedication to our most important resources, our fish!
Welcome aboard Brandi!
