Such a fun conversation with Rob Phillips, Hernan Garcia and many others in this virtual seminar series. Check out more amazing talks here!
Megan enters the workforce!
Masters student Megan Couture submitted her thesis and landed a job - in the middle of a pandemic! - in clinical data entry at the Jewish General Hospital. Congratulations!
[Editorial note: It is truly the end of an era. Megan was the first person to join the Weber lab, and it has been such a pleasure to watch her grow from a naive but enthusiastic undergraduate to a thoughtful scientist and confident person. Good luck out there in the “real” world! We’re so proud of all that you have accomplished.]
PUBLISHED!
The lab's first research paper is accepted at PNAS!
We celebrated with a socially-distanced picnic and soccer game. So wonderful to see everyone in person after four months on Zoom! Congratulations to Baljyot, Stefan and many others!
Baljyot presents at the IDPSIG virtual symposium!
Congratulations to PhD student Baljyot Parmar on his first international talk! He presented his single-molecule tracking work on bacterial RNA polymerase. Steve the Shark is now trending on Twitter;)
Thrilled to share our preprint on bacterial RNA polymerase condensates!
This was a major team effort. Thank you and congratulations to Anne-Marie, Baljyot, Stefan, James, Graydon, David, Albright, Nic and Rodrigo!
Working from home during the pandemic
Weber lab is doing our part to Flatten the Curve and protect our community from COVID-19. We’ve donated RT-PCR reagents for testing and personal protective equipment for medical staff. Still holding remote lab meetings over Zoom!
Weber Lab welcomes a new postdoc, Pinaki Swain!
Excited to have another physicist join the team! Check out his doctoral work on the E. coli nucleoid here:
Megan, Baljyot and Peng present at the Molecular Retreat!
From single molecules to aging worms, the Weber lab put on a strong show at this year’s Molecular group retreat. Great work, everyone!
Peng's review makes the cover of Non-coding RNA!
Our new microscope finally arrives!
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Weber lab celebrates 2019 at Juliette et Chocolat! Great to see lab alums Matias, George and Albright!
Lights, camera, action!

Congratulations to Peng on a critical review of the literature! Check it out here.
The lab kicks off a new semester with, what else? Ice cream!
Welcome to new postdoc, Stefan Biedzinski; new PhD student, Brendon McGuinness; and new undergraduates, Alyssa Trantino and Laura Wu! We’ve now got a full house!
Fantastic work by summer student James Wall
Not only did he characterize the phase behavior of a bacterial protein, but he maintained an immaculate lab bench!
Our intrepid postdoc moves on to ABIF
Anne-Marie was the first person to join the Weber lab. She literally built the lab from the ground up (twice!), spearheaded the bacterial project and served as a strong role model for all of us (students and professor alike). Thank you and good luck in your new position!
Megan attends her first international conference
The worm community is truly international! Thanks to Dan Starr and many others for their feedback on Megan’s project.
Three summers, two students and we FINALLY have liquid protein droplets!
Congratulations to James, and David, for their persistence and hard work! Let the in vitro assays begin! :)
