Last September 22, during the National Postdoc Appreciation Day, Glass Lab postdoc Jens Heller was one of the two postdocs awarded with the 2016 Postdoc Leadership Award by UC Berkeley’s Visiting Scholar and Postdoc Affairs office. In their own words, the award was given to them due to their “outstanding efforts to support the postdoctoral […]
The 2016 Meeting of the Mycological Society of America was held in Berkeley, CA in August. Our lab was represented by Louise Glass and Vince Wu, who gave a talk on “Neurospora crassa mRNA Reveals Secrets of Plant Cell Wall Deconstruction by Filamentous Fungi”. Good job Vince!
Postdoctoral researcher Lina Qin from the Glass Lab and the Energy Biosciences Institute gave a talk at the 2016 conference of the Society for Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology in New Orleans, LA. Good job Lina! “Deciphering the regulatory role of the SREBP pathway in protein secretion in Neurospora crassa”
