Congratulations, Dr. Gebru! Niat Gebru successfully defended his PhD dissertation on the effects of FKBP51 in the brain. His dissertation research identified new proteins that may mediate the beneficial effects of FKBP51 deletion and identified a surprising effect of high FKBP51 on circadian rhythms...

New Blair Lab Publication in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules Research, spearheaded by Abigail Esquivel, was published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. In this work, we identify that DnaJ/Hsp40 molecular chaperones are enriched with regulators of tau...

New lab publication on Hsc70 inhibitors regulating tau In a collaboration with Dr. James Leahy's lab in the Department of Chemistry at USF, we characterized the properties of novel Hsc70 inhibitors. These inhibitors were based off of a prior Hsc70 inhibitor, JG-98. We found that substitutions that...
