Two WALII researchers, Alejandra Arroyo (undergraduate student) and Sheila Ferer (research assistant) from the Tapia Lab at CSUCI, recently presented their work at The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) 2024 in Washington D.C.  

​Alejandra’s talk, “Drying Without Dying: Small Metabolites Counteract Proteotoxicity During Desiccation,” was a presentation on how trehalose can help organisms survive desiccation and the role trehalose may play in mitigating desiccation induced protein aggregation.  

Sheila presented a new method for studying how yeast cells modulate protein expression levels and localization throughout dehydration and rehydration in her talk called “Global proteome rewiring in times of desiccation and rehydration.” Sheila also discussed her plans for utilizing automated-microscopy and custom machine-learning algorithms in high-throughput experiments the Tapia lab plans to conduct to further characterize proteins/proteins families that change localization under desiccation conditions.  
 
In addition to their presentations at TAGC, Alejandra and Sheila were recently featured in a CSUCI News Release.
