🎉 Huge congratulations to @MpiBrain director Erin Schuman @erin-schuman.bsky.social on receiving the 2026 Nakasone Award for her groundbreaking work on the function and plasticity of neuronal synapses! 🧠 @hfspo.bsky.social ‬#neuroscience #HFSP #NakasoneAward 👉 bit.ly/4m6g40P

Congratulations! The new Advanced Grant winners are great news. But yet again, many scientists - around 260 - with ground-breaking ideas were rated as excellent, but remained unfunded due to a lack of funds at the ERC. Hope that more funding will be available in the future!

We are accepting applications for a PhD opportunity at @scilifelab.se this is part of a MSCA Doctoral Network on the topic of metabolic regulation of genome function and cell identity. A EU funded generous fellowship is offered with possibility of industry experience. Apply here:

@scheiffelelab.bsky.social and I discussed the unique properties of synapses onto parvalbumin interneurons, the current knowledge & future aspects of the molecular mechanisms regulating these synaptic inputs: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Exploring brain circuits, one cell type - or more - at a time" www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... This one is for all the #ChandelierNeuron fans out there #sciArt #sciComm #neuroscience #neuroskyence

🎉 Big congrats to @marcvoo.bsky.social for winning the Best Talk Prize sponsored by Proteomes at the Annual Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2025! 🎉Congratulations to all other prize winners！ 👏 Warm congratulations to the organizers on the successful completion of the event! #proteomes #proteomics

Glad to see our new paper finally out! We show how the GPR158 receptor controls synapse maturation and function by silencing an intrinsic inhibitory mechanism. authors.elsevier.com/a/1l7HS5Sx5g... Work from Ben Verpoort and colleagues, with special thanks to our collaborators.

We are happy to share our new work on glutamine addiction in cancer cells. By characterizing the exchange rate and dynamic metabolite response to extracellular glutamine deprivation, we shed light on long standing questions about glutamine addiction. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A tissue-specific atlas of protein–protein associations enables prioritization of candidate disease genes - @pedrobeltrao.bsky.social @imsb-eth.bsky.social @opentargets.org go.nature.com/3Z1q0PM

Teamwork is crucial for proteins. Little is known, however, about which protein teams are actually active in which tissues. A new large-scale study by systems biologists at ETH Zurich is now redrawing the map. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Our work on deriving protein-protein (functional) associations across different human tissues from proteomics data is now published. There is quite a lot in this paper, so I will just touch on a few highlights: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New Preprint out ! The proteasome maturation factor POMP moonlights as a stress-induced transcriptional regulator www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Lead by: @sgiando.bsky.social with: @muellermara.bsky.social , @erin-schuman.bsky.social , @marcvoo.bsky.social and many more Short thread below 🧵1/4

50% of all proteins localize to multiple locations - but check this out, a proteasome maturation factor that acts as nexus linking protein turnover with RNA biogenesis! Congrats Stef & @erin-schuman.bsky.social from @mpibrain.bsky.social ! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

On the value of exploration of nature and "fishing" expeditions. Hypothesis driven research is important but so is simply observing, measuring and looking for cool new unexpected things.

Exciting paper - lots of things to discover in the data and the approach!

❗Serious consequences for the Swiss economy and society – the SNSF urges the abandonment of the proposed cuts to research funding in "Relief Package 27," as they threaten the country's innovative capacity and competitiveness. ➡️

❗Gravierende Folgen für die Schweizer Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft: Der SNF fordert den Verzicht auf die im «Entlastungspaket 27» vorgesehenen Kürzungen bei der Forschungsförderung. Diese würden die Innovationskraft und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Landes gefährden. ➡️https://buff.ly/eorZPvl

Postdoc opportunity in the heart of Europe! Check out the flyer below. Join our team on an international project with Anthony Holtmaat exploring synaptic plasticity and specificity in cortical and thalamocortical circuits.

My lab at CUHK (QS: 36th) is hiring! We are looking for motivated Research Assistants, PhD students (urgent🚨) and Postdocs who love solving problems. To understand the mysterious brain, we use a range of fun techniques. Please spread the word and get in touch if you are interested!

🚀 Excited to share our latest article in #singlecell proteomics published in Cell! We've developed SC-pSILAC to simultaneously measure protein turnover and abundance in single cells, unlocking the first large-scale, 2D proteomic insights at single-cell resolution! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
