In this week’s journal club, we discussed how sugar-sweetened beverages - America’s sweetest legacy - may drive colorectal cancer metastasis. Glucose + fructose relieve CRC cells from NAD+ limitation through SORD to boost metastasis. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

In our recent journal club, we discussed an impressive paper published in Nature Microbiology titled “A shared alarmone–GTP switch controls persister formation in bacteria”. A comprehensive work on a (p)ppGpp–GTP antagonism pathway! Check it out: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We are happy to welcome Charleen Braun, doing her Master’s degree in Bioanalytics at Coburg University of Applied Sciences with a specialization in Human Biology.

At our annual Summer Symposium, Laurentz Schuhknecht from our Lab received this year’s DBM Research Prize, for his groundbreaking work in drug discovery and systems pharmacology, published in Nature Biotechnology (Nature Portfolio) earlier this year. biomedizin.unibas.ch/en/communica...

In our today's journal club, we discussed this impressive work by the Ralser Lab appearing this month in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In our recent journal club, we discussed insights obtained by in vivo NMR in the context of antibiotic resistance. Check it out! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

We are happy to welcome Sandra Pflästerer, doing her Master’s degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Ludwig-Maximilian University.

In our recent journal club, we discussed a nice publication from Nature: “Macrophages recycle phagocytosed bacteria to fuel immunometabolic responses”. These exciting findings open the door to approaches that regulate immunometabolism during bacterial infections. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are looking for highly motivated Master and Bachelor Students to work on computational projects to better understand how bacteria and cancer cells metabolically adapt to chemical perturbations. Write us and find out how to conduct your semester or master project in our lab! www.zampierilab.org

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 warm welcome to Dana Reddmann, Biochemistry Master's student at Freie Universität Berlin, starting her Master Thesis in our lab!

We are happy to welcome Elena Pintea, MSc-Student in the Drug Sciences program at the University of Basel.

Our recent publication has been featured in The Scientist! Thanks to Sneha Khedkar for such a clear and exciting presentation of our research. www.the-scientist.com/same-drug-ne...

In today's journal club, we discussed the work by Sunil Guharajan, Vinuselvi Parisutham and Robert C. Brewster from @brewsterlab.bsky.social, which was recently published in Nucleic Acids Research. doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

A warm welcome to Thomas Gosselin-Monplaisir, visiting PhD-Student from Toulouse Biotechnology Institute.

We are seeking for a talented semester or master student for a computational project on antimicrobial effects of drugs. Check it out! www.zampierilab.org/join-us/

Our work was featured in chemistryworld. Fantastic pitch of our research by Anthony King. www.chemistryworld.com/news/mapping...

Today in our journal club: impressive work by the group of S.M. Fendt KU Leuven, published in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Here they present how elevated pulmonary aspartate levels trigger a translational program that boosts the aggressiveness of lung metastases.

We are very excited to share that the recent research from our lab has been published in Nature Biotechnology! Thanks to our lab members and our collaborators for contributing to this project and especially to Laurentz for driving this exciting research! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today in our journal club: impressive work by Tofani et al. in Cell Metabolism. www.cell.com/cell-metabol...
