Group leader, Charlotte Group for Proteostasis Research | Associate Chair for Research in Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte | Interested in the role of Hsp70 PTMs in yeast and mammalian cells | www.trumanlab.org
- We are looking for talented graduate students to join our group for Fall 2026 studying the role and regulation of Hsp70 PTMs! If you are interested please check out www.trumanlab.org
- Super excited to share our latest work on the Hsp70 chaperone code "Mechanosensor-mediated Hsp70 phosphorylation orchestrates the landscape of the heat shock response" out now in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Colleague Shan Yan doing a great job highlighting our Genome research at the NC Biotech Summit at the newly opened Pearl campus in Charlotte!
- Had a wonderful time visiting Marquette University Biological Sciences to share our recent work on the Hsp70 Chaperone Code! Thanks to Emily Sontag for inviting me! Such a beautiful campus and loved talking with the students and faculty about the exciting research going on 🔥🔥🔥#hsp70

- Excited to share our new work "Dissecting the Cdc37 Co-chaperone Code: Functional Roles in Chaperone-Mediated Stress Adaptation" in press at the Journal of Biological Chemistry www.jbc.org/article/S002...
- Friday was the 10th anniversary of setting up my lab! My amazing team hosted a party-the showstopper was the video they made that contained messages from all my previous students, mentors and collaborators!Finished the day by failing Beat the bomb in Charlotte!
- @ronbeavis.bsky.social Hi Ron, I teach a graduate course on cell signaling and each year do a couple of classes on PTMs. I love showing the students how to use the gpmdb for their studies but can’t access it anymore from the US. Do you offer paid access/educational discount for those in the US?
- Excited to begin my new role as Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte 🔥🔥
- Great time celebrating the achievements of the lab at Fahrenheit restaurant-graduations, proposal defenses, papers and grants! So grateful for the hard work and energy my team bring!
- Beautiful work!
