Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Indeed, this is a fantastic work from the lab of @nadlerlab.bsky.social. Congratulations André and the team!

Have you published lipid-protein interactome data? Please let us know, we’d love to include it in the repository. The goal is to build a centralized hub for the scientific community. Huge thanks to Gaelen Guzman, a graduate student/postdoc in the lab who built it from scratch.

🚨 new paper alert 🚨 Here, we present a method for designing protein nanoparticles with two unique faces that can bring together distinct biological targets at controlled distances! This project was led by Dr. Sanela Rankovic is out now in Nature Materials: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great news!! Does anyone know what bill will determine NIH funding levels?

Promoted to Full Professor with tenure! This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible trainees, past & present, who made the science & the journey meaningful. Grateful to my mentors, colleagues, & collaborators. Excited for what’s next- here to the future! 🙌

Excited to share our new preprint 🥳. We dev’ed a high-affinity nanobody that binds MR1 & blocks MR1-restricted T cell activation, a powerful tool to dissect MR1 biology in infection, inflammation & cancer. @jburkevic.bsky.social @ohsunews.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It’s finally out! Started this project as a PhD student in the @holthuislab.bsky.social lab & finished by my PhD student. Full-circle moment and the end of an era. 😊 Thanks to Gaelen and everyone who made this happen. @ohsummi.bsky.social @ohsunews.bsky.social pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40473211/

Excited to share our latest preprint! Using integrated global lipidomics and proteomics, we show that SARS-CoV-2 variants induce conserved changes in host lipid metabolism pathways. Congrats to Scotty for leading the work. @ohsummi.bsky.social @ohsunews.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This cool study on compounds that can kill Plasmodium inside mosquitoes and can be applied to bed-nets was contributed to by the Riscoe lab at MMI!

Have you ever wondered how repeated vaccination shapes our immune responses, and whether timing between doses matters? Check out our latest work! @ohsunews.bsky.social @ohsummi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Congratulations to the groups of Eric Barklis and @tafesselab.bsky.social for reporting an analysis of factors that regulate HIV-1 fusion in reverse pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Excellent work!

I had an amazing time visiting University of Victoria @uvic.ca It was wonderful meeting students and faculty- thank you so much, John Burke @jburkevic.bsky.social, for hosting me! #lipids and #nanobodies

The early bird deadline may have passed but there is still plenty of time to register and submit abstracts for the 2025 FEBS/ICC! Come to historic Varna for sun, sea, and sphingolipid science!!

The Obeid award was created to honor the legacy of the late, great Lina Obeid, a giant of the Sphingolipid field and a strong proponent of women in science. We are privileged to present this award at FEBS/ICC 2025 and are very grateful to CaymanChemical for their sponsorship.

The Kester award honors the legacy of Mark Kester, a sphingolipid researcher with an entreprenurial drive, and a leader in sphingolipid therapies, particularly ceramide nanoliposomes. We will present the award at FEBS/ICC 13 2025 and thank CaymanChemical for their sponsorship.

This is terrible for science, and will have huge consequences!
