Certain cancers are described as “glutamine addicted”. But how does this addiction arise, and how do tumors manage to bypass it? I am excited to share that the results of my postdoctoral work are finally published in @cp-molcell.bsky.social! tinyurl.com/hs7ep5sa 👇 Check the thread for more!

Check ⬇️ the latest paper from the @jourdainlab.bsky.social ab on glutamine addiction! Congratulation to @miriamlisci.bsky.social and all co-authors for the amazing work🥳

New article in Molecular Cell by @miriamlisci.bsky.social and @jourdainlab.bsky.social!

Our story on #FBXW7 and #biotin in #glutamine_addiction is now peer-reviewed and published in Molecular Cell! Heroic work led by the very first postdoc of the lab @miriamlisci.bsky.social. Have a look! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Thank you @fbm-unil.bsky.social for highlighting our work, just published on Molecular Cell! 🎊 @cellpress.bsky.social

We are hiring a postdoc! 🧪 ▶️ Project: nucleotide metabolism (genomics & biochemistry) ▶️ Start date: spring 2026 (flexible) ▶️ More info and application: tinyurl.com/3kjrbb2x Please share 🌏 @fbm-unil.bsky.social @dib-unil.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social @snsf.ch

Very excited to share the published version of our #uridine #CRISPR screen in naturemetabolism.bsky.social! 🎉 Led by Abigail Strefeler with @pagliarini-lab.bsky.social @zakbaker.bsky.social and team! #NUDT5 #DMQ @dib-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s42... 🧵1/17

How can mitophagy be an effective quality control mechanism if mtDNA mutations reach high enough levels to cause disease? This question led us into a dark path, full of concepts of evolutionary genetics, germline stem cell biology and mito-nuclear compatibility. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super excited to share our new preprint from @cssheehan.bsky.social on how the tumor microenvironment causes drug resistance in pancreatic cancer: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It was great to meet so many EMBO fellows from all around the world! Thank you EMBO for inviting us and for giving us the opportunity to discuss our projects and network with such a diverse group of scientist.

Pint of Science was again a great success in Lausanne, with >500 people attending our events! Kudos to co-coordinators @miriamlisci.bsky.social and @juliensluneau.bsky.social, and to the fantastic team of 19 volunteers at the bars 🥳! #PINT25 #scicomm

Get ready for a night full of surprises in Lausanne! With talks in both EN and FR, and topics ranging from AI & privacy, viruses and green revolution, your thirst for science in a fun and relaxed setting will be satisfied starting tonight! Time: 7-9pm Locations: Cylure, Sidewalk, On va où #Pint25

The latest pre-print from the lab is out! 🥳 In this work led by our PhD student Abigail, the @jourdainlab.bsky.social adds a piece to the puzzle of mechanisms balancing #pyrimidines and #purine synthesis, and hints at #NUDT5 expression as a potential predictor of chemotherapy resistance.

Check out our new pre-print from the @jourdainlab.bsky.social, featuring work led by @marcellharhai.bsky.social! How do growth and death screens compare when uncovering novel regulators of mitochondrial function? Is Ménière disease a mitochondrial disorder? Find out below 👇

Celebrating the New Year in style! Best wishes from the Jourdain Lab 🥌🫕🇨🇭

Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉 We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), and @gavsturm.bsky.social et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024...). Details below! 🔬🧵🧪

Could you live without glutamine? I am delighted to share our preprint @jourdainlab.bsky.social: we employed parallel nutrient and genetic screening to tackle the mechanisms promoting survival in glutamine-limiting conditions. Check it out 👇 more details below! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
