Once again, unto the breach; we brave the spring symposia! This year, James and Vlad gave talks, while Jacob, Daisy, and Neil presented their posters. James and Jacob also received awards for their presentations!

Congratulations to Pia on graduating with research distinction after presenting her research and defending her thesis! It’s a bittersweet goodbye after more than 2 years of excellent work in the lab, and we wish her all the best as she moves on to a gap year of EMT work and travel while she applies to medical schools.

In perhaps the most momentous day yet for the lab (coincidentally on Cinco de Mayo), our frustratingly small office sink has been upgraded! We shall henceforth be able to wash dishes larger than a thimble.

Congratulations to Katie on passing candidacy! After she finishes grading exams, she’ll be taking some much needed time to relax at home and prepare for some fencing tournaments this summer in Atlanta and Pheonix. When she’s back in lab, she’ll start working on a better way to control the oligomeric state of EphA3 (and getting the protein to actually behave well).

We’re thrilled to welcome Dana Al Disi to the lab! She is a first year MCDB student and is planning to study the mechanistic and developmental characteristics of Eph receptors in vivo. She also engages in interdisciplinary research concerning science in society.

The lab has returned to BPS, and to Cali! This time in San Francisco, Vlad’s old stomping grounds! Daisy, Jacob, and Vlad had very engaging poster sessions, and Neil gave a compelling talk on the enzymatic characteristics of different IRE1 oligomeric states. Of course, we enjoyed bountiful feasts and drinks across the city (and we obviously loved the famous SF cable car, even if it did get stopped due to a fire emergency!). We formed plenty of new research ideas and fruitful scientific connections on top of the fun memories!

What a major milestone for the lab! Our first paper gets published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Congrats to Jacob for driving this exciting story about ER stress signaling all the way across the finish line! The paper has something for everyone: engineered light-activatable proteins? Check. mRNA processing? Check. Cells coping with stress? Check! Read the work here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2025.111067

It’s that time of year again: symposia galore! The Belyy Lab was represented at the MBTP, CMBP, IGP, and Dow Symposia with posters by Ady, Daisy, Jacob, and James, and a talk by Neil. As usual, we enjoyed the diverse and novel works from across the OSU community, and we made interesting new connections and experiment ideas!
