Welcome to Daniel Taub!
Welcome to Daniel Taub, Ph.D., who has joined our faculty as an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology, Physiology & Biophysics! The Taub Lab will examine central neural circuits in somatosensation (the sensations of touch, temperature, and pain) and how these circuits change in different pain states and conditions, notably inherited peripheral neuropathies. The lab is also […]

BU CryoEM Core Facility workflow validation achieves a structure of apoferritin at 2.04 Å!
The BU CryoEM Core Facility validated its Glacios II microscope and Vitrobot plunge-freezing sample preparation device for high-resolution data acquisition by freezing a sample of apoferritin and determining its structure to a resolution of 2.04 Å from a dataset of 930 exposures. The core facility’s external processing workstation running cryoSPARC LIVE provided a preliminary structure […]
