Looking for a PostDoc? Exciting science and great city! Join us Albert Pol Lab Albert_Herms in Barcelona IDIBAPS to work in an European Research Council (ERC) funded multidisciplinary project to study how lipid droplets attract and kill bacteria. image by @LabParton : clinicbarcelona.org/uploads/media/…

Dear #LipidDroplet friends, We are so much looking forward to the 2nd edition of our #EMBOLipidDroplets Workshop. Join us 21-26 September 2025 at beautiful Costa Brava! Abstract submission deadline is 10 June 2025. EMBO The Company of Biologists

Ever wanted a virtual assistant that you could show your #microscopy images to get help with visual understanding, hypothesis generation, and experiment design? I'm pleased my team contributed to this reasoning benchmark led by James Burgess (at ICLR 2025) to test these abilities using current MLLMs

Mark your calendars & repost! Join us for the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplets Conference! July 26-30, 2026 in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. Best of all: The FASEB Lipid Droplet meeting is co-locating with the FASEB Phospholipid meeting. Two wonderful lipid communities together!

Really interesting plant work in Developmental Cell examining ER sub-domains where peroxisomes and lipid droplets bud. cell.com/developmental-…

Excitation Spectral Phasor Microscopy (ExSPM) unveils spatiotemporal heterogeneities in polarity of intracellular lipid droplets biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Reminder: The 1st FASEB #Ferroptosis Meeting is this summer! Spectacular speaker lineup + short talks selected from submitted abstracts. It is going to be awesome! Trainees, newcomers & all interested are welcome! 📅 Abstract deadline: June 1, 2025. shorturl.at/QA6T1

My lab's first paper is out in nature. We show that lipoprotein uptake protects tumors from ferroptosis by delivering the lipid antioxidant α-tocopherol. Surprisingly, tumors use sulfated glycosaminoglycans—not canonical receptors—to capture lipoproteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…
