The lab welcomes our new research technician, Jackson Chen! Jackson joins us after recently completing his BS from Stony Brook University, where he worked in the lab of Dr. Michael Frohman. Jackson is working to understand the molecular sensors that recognize if cells have enough rDNA copies or not. 
Jackson Chen The most recent paper from Jonathan's postdoc is now published in PNAS! This study finds that asymmetric division of germline stem cells is essential for their ability to restore rDNA copy number, suggesting rDNA maintenance is a major reason why these cells divide asymmetrically.  Source: Nelson et al., PNAS, 2023 Stony Brook undergraduate researchers Abijot and Tomasz join the lab! They are working to identify genes that regulate germline rDNA copy number maintenance activity.
The Nelson Lab is now open in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology and the Center for Developmental Genetics at Stony Brook University!  |
