The Leading Edge Fellows gathered this week to celebrate Zara Weinberg, a beloved member of our community. Our 7th cohort of Leading Edge Fellows (2026) will be named in her honor. The Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Cohort application is now open! Due Feb 2. www.leadingedgesymposium.org/apply/

I am honored to have received an Early Stage Investigator award and the opportunity to present my work on mitochondrial biology in Costello Syndrome at the 9th International RASopathies Symposium. I am grateful for the chance to discuss science and life’s challenges with everyone at this meeting.

Welcome to the amazing @leadingedgeprogram.bsky.social !!!

Applications are still open for the 2025 Leading Edge cohort! Deadline is Feb 3, 2025.

I am really happy to share that our last work from the Philips lab is now out in Cell Reports! The differential interactomes of the KRAS splice variants identify BIRC6 as a ubiquitin ligase for KRAS4A. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

I’m excited to share new work out of the lab in Nature Metabolism today on the impact of tumor-relevant glucose concentrations on the response to pyrimidine synthesis inhibitors. t.co/9hOGW4x97T. PDF: rdcu.be/d1vkV

Very cool and inspiring lecture tonight from the Nobel Laureate @ardemp.bsky.social organized by The Harvey Society. I’m definitely a PIEZO fan now!

Hola Bluesky! 🌟 My name is Cristina, and I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Philips lab at NYU School of Medicine. During my PhD, I trained as a mitochondrial biologist, and I am currently exploring the fascinating role of this dynamic organelle in cancer and rare disorders.
