Allan Yarahmady made this how-to video for performing cappilary gel electrophoresis on the Wes system (ProteinSimple).

We use biochemistry and cell biology techniques to learn how proteins acquire and maintain their specific folded shapes. We study an amazing group of proteins called molecular chaperones that function to keep our proteins correctly folded. Our team is working hard to help solve the mystery of why specific proteins stop folding correctly (called misfolding or aggregation) in diseases such as Alzheimer's.

It is the start of a new academic year for the Mok lab. We said goodbye to some of our members and welcomed some new people to our team.
Some of our team members are making some interesting videos! You can check them out below:

Emily McNamara made this how-not-to video for bacterial transformation. Enjoy!

We were very fortunate to publish with two of our amazing UofA collaborators this past year:
2021 BMC Biology Emily McNamara created a GFP-0N4R tau cell line in this study with the Westaway lab characterizing liquid-liquid phase separation events in aggregate seeded cells.
2021 Frontiers in Genetics Lion Budrass predicts miRNA regulators of J-protein chaperones in this collaboration with the Fahlman Lab.
