Congrats to our latest PhD candidate @richardyheudean.bsky.social on passing his A exam!

Congratulations to @jeremybaskin.bsky.social (2017 #BYI), one of three recipients of the 2025 Ono Initiative Breakthrough Science Award for research on “Control of Protein Degradation by an Unusual Protein Modification."

How do cells sense & respond to lipid imbalances? What happens when a disease-relevant enzyme is blocked? Shiying Huang investigates phosphoinositide lipids with the Balla lab & discovers an integrated cellular response that boosts alternate lipid synthesis pathways! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Came in to this lovely surprise today — the lab is 10 years young this summer! 🍾 I’m so grateful to all trainees past and present for getting us to where we are and taking us to a bright and exciting future of #lipidtime #chembio discoveries!

More insights into #glycoRNA, this time found within exosomes! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s an honor to receive the ACS Chem Biol Young Investigator Award! I’m most grateful for the contributions from all past & present lab members — it is an award for all of you as much as for me. (& also grateful to still be considered young 😅) axial.acs.org/chemical-bio... @acsbiol.bsky.social 1/2
