As I can’t get it through airport security later, I celebrate having held my talk at #ASBMB2026 with „Trash talk“ IPA from the Yards Brewing Company while looking at the Potomac. Having got 2 questions, I don’t think my own talk was trash …
Former Hoskins Lab undergrad and @uwbiochem.bsky.social biochemistry major David Beier kills it at #ASBMB2026 with his work from the Pat O'Brien lab at Michigan!
Great #ASBMB2026 conference!

While I haven't been able to be at the whole meeting, I've been heartened and reinvigorated by the spirit of all of the great science so far at #discoverbmb2026 #asbmb2026 @asbmb.bsky.social ! Plus, look at all those great UMBC T32 CBI trainees networking and sharing their science. Inspirational!
The parasite that causes malaria exports hundreds of proteins to remodel the cells that it infects. #ASBMB2026 #ASBMB26

Did you you know that most of human biology runs under hypoxia? The brain 🧠 has only 3-5% O2, the colon lumen 0.1%, yet we typically do experiments at 20% O2. One if the messages from Ruma Banerjee‘s talk on H2S and its metabolic impact this morning at #ASBMB2026

Structural studies have provided new insights into lenacapavir's unique mechanism of action. Using electron cryotomography, researchers found that treatment of intact HIV capsids with lenacapavir causes capsids to rupture, with ruptures occurring first in areas of the capsid with the highest level of curvature. The walls of lenacapavir-treated capsids were observed to flatten during early time points and fragment over the course of the experiment. This process is shown in the animation, created by Rachel Torrez in collaboration with Owen Pornillos (University of Utah). The animation was created using pdb_00009pry and pdb_00009y7j and their corresponding models in the EM Data Bank, EMD-71816 and EMD-72657.

I’m at #ASBMB2026! What fun reconnecting with old friends. If you’re here and want to say hi, drop me a line
A fantastic session! So happy to be a part of this group of scientists and learn more about their exciting work at #ASBMB2026

Our Cell Death in Immunity and Inflammation session was phenomenal today at #ASBMB2026.
A pleasure to co-organize this with Cornelius Taabazuing @taabaman.bsky.social.

The March Molecule of the Month looks at Lenacapavir, a potent and long-acting drug that targets the HIV capsid #ASBMB2026
Looking forward to present some of our lab research at #ASBMB2026 @asbmb.bsky.social next month in DC! Appreciate the invitation.
At #ASBMB2026, keynote speaker Wes Sundquist (@uofuhealth.bsky.social) will describe the structure and function of the HIV capsid and summarize the journey to lenacapavir, a new injectable PrEP that can protect against infection for six months at a time.

Meet #ASBMB2026 speaker Roger Davis! The @umasschan.bsky.social professor — and ASBMB Vallee Award honoree — transformed our understanding of JNK signaling, showing it’s not a single protein but a family encoded by three genes & diversified by alternative splicing.
Biochemistry helped turn decades of HIV research into a powerful new prevention tool.
At #ASBMB2026, Wes Sundquist (@uuhsresearch.bsky.social) will show how HIV capsid research led to lenacapavir—a twice-yearly injectable PrEP with near-complete protection against HIV.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be attending #ASBMB2026 in Washington, DC from March 7–11! I’m looking forward to engaging discussions and connecting with colleagues working in mitochondrial biology and the broader metabolism–inflammation axis.
