We are fortunate to welcome Aldrex (Chemistry), David (Biological Chemistry), and Tommy (PCB) to the lab!

Slightly behind in posting… but we were excited to welcome Dr. Yaping Liu to you group earlier this year!

Our first main publication from the lab was accepted for publication earlier this month! 

To learn more about the thermodynamics of prfA RNAT unfolding, check it out!

Congratulations to Huaqun, Ian, Amos and Cookie!

Sicong Ma, a second-year Biophysics student in the group, has been awarded a Rackham Research Grant! Congratulations Sicong!

Sarah is one of 35 junior faculty to receive a Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award!  I’m very grateful to ORAU for the support! Excited to do some method development for RNA structural biology!

We are excited to welcome Mona to the lab! She joins us from UC Irvine, where she did her PhD in the lab of Andrej Lupták. Mona is an RNA biochemistry expert and we can’t wait to get some new projects going!

The Keane Lab is officially NIH funded! Our R35 grant on the biophysics of regulatory RNAs was recently funded!

Sarah is one of the 22 early career researchers to be named a 2020 Pew Biomedical Scholar! Thank you to the Pew Charitable Trusts for this support!

Biophysics graduate student Sicong Ma officially joins the lab!

Congratulations to Amos Nissley (Chemistry/Biophysics), Austin Wang (Chemistry), and Kirk Baughman (Chemistry) who have all accepted positions in prestigious graduate programs!

• Amos – UC Berkeley (PhD Chemistry)
• Austin – Northwestern (MD/PhD)
• Krik – Columbia (Biophysics)

Thanks for all of your hard work!
