Brown fat is a cool system for learning new about mitochondria. Choline is an important nutrient, and its metabolism involves import into the mitochondrial matrix. How does Choline get there? Check out our new paper by Tony Verkerke and colleagues! cell.com/cell-metabolis…

First Z-lab PhD graduate to start her own lab! Couldn't be more proud of Rosalie @scienceyrosalie, who has been consistently stellar throughout her PhD and postdoc career and is just getting started. Great discoveries to come out of the Lawrence lab, stay tuned!

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Our new preprint by Ashley Segura ashley segura and Rose Citron dissects a deep connection between autophagy and PKA in neuronal signaling, with implications for neurological disease. Great collaboration with Mancias Lab!

We’ve worked out how the molecular machines that create acidic compartments can recruit autophagy (self-eating) machinery when they can’t maintain a pH gradient. We are really pleased with this discovery, out in Molecular Cell cell.com/molecular-cell…. 1/16

We are pleased to welcome neuronal cell biologist Dr. Melissa Hoyer as an assistant professor in our Department of Neurodegenerative Science. Her innovative research aims to prevent neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. vai.org/article/van-an…

1/Out today @nature, a paper from Divya Bezwada and DeBerardinis Lab Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern about metabolism in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Divya identified an unexpected metabolic change that allows these tumors to metastasize. 🧵below.-RJD nature.com/articles/s4158…

I am very proud of the superstar postdoc Haojun Yang, who discovered how to translation control underlying fasting and ketogenic diet in health and cancer. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Just a few weeks left to apply to this Human Genetics position in Berkeley IB! Over the last 7 years IB has hired 12 assistant professors (!including me!) and is an incredibly supportive environment. I can't wait to welcome a new colleague! aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04502

This is an amazing opportunity! Masha is the most dedicated Mentor I have ever worked with and Dresden will become THE location for lipid research in Germany! Apply, apply, apply!!!

Researchers David Shackelford, Roberto Zoncu + Rushika M. Perera are using advanced techniques to track interactions inside cells. Here you can see mitochondria (🟢) + lysosomes (🔴) interact, they impact cell health, behavior & survival.

Excited to teach this innovative class with Dan Nomura and Fyodor Urnov . Enrollment 50% up from last year’s first edition. Passion for drug discovery runs deep UC Berkeley!

POST-DOC POSITION AVAILABLE. Interested in understanding the role of chromosome instability and micronuclei in cancer development? We have a postdoc position IEO to work on this exciting topic and to follow-up on our recent paper. Starting date November 1, 2024

Great opportunity to join an amazing community of scientists, colleagues and friends in the Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology Division of UC Berkeley MCB !

Exciting first talk of the ‘24-‘25 #MTx seminar series by Michael Fischbach Michael Fischbach, enthusiastically introduced by Rapé Lab !
