Fun to catch up with lab undergrad alum and current superstar Yale School of Medicine student Kane Wu today! #proudofalumni

Tour de force #lipidtime study in Cell from Farese & Walther Lab SKI_CellBio showing that the phospholipase D3 and D4 can synthesize the uniquely late endosomal/lysosomal lipid BMP!

It’s #lipidtime and UCSD Chem Biochem week CornellChemistry! Super fun to host Neal Devaraj for seminar today — and look who showed up early for his visit next week Itay Budin!!

Very proud of Reika Tei for her first single-author publication: a thoughtful minireview on lessons learned and challenges that remain to decipher phosphatidic acid metabolism. Bravo! #proudofalumni #lipidtime

New review at Journal of Lipid Research on the nexus we see between mitochondrial lipid metabolism and biophysics, with a focus on lipid curvature jlr.org/article/S0022-…

Phenomenal talk today CornellChemistry by Itay Budin — innovative methods for imaging membrane biophysics and lipid transport and roles of unique lipids in helping membranes stay fluid in the extreme pressures of the deep ocean! #lipidtime

Check out our J Cell Science At a Glance review and poster on "Imaging interorganelle contacts" - part of the special issue on Imaging Cell Architecture and Dynamics! Maria Clara Zanellati Sherry Hsu journals.biologists.com/jcs/article-lo…

Finally recovered from almost a week in beautiful Ithaca giving a CornellChemistry seminar, collecting data with Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, and seeing all my old haunts. Thanks Ando Lab Jeremy Baskin for hosting me 🍁🍂🍃

Happy Halloween from the Bertozzi lab, no catalyst needed for #BOOrthogonal click chemistry! Lindsay Guzmán Carolyn Bertozzi

Thrilled to welcome Cassie and Jade, two new CornellChemistry PhD students, to the lab! Cassandra Ohnmeiss joins us from UBuffalo, and Jade Xia comes to us from Wake Forest University. blogs.cornell.edu/baskin/lab-mem…

Our work describing extensive gene divergence on laboratory timescales with upgraded OrthoRep systems is now out in Science Magazine here - science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. X thread describing the preprint is quoted below. Congratulations to Gordon Rix and team!

I am very skeptical of the AI/ML/computational methods to predict protein-protein interactions. Prove me wrong. I present a challenge for anyone who claims they can predict protein-protein interactions. 1/n

🥳A tuneable minimal cell membrane reveals that two lipid species suffice for life: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We chemically minimized the membrane of the Minimal Cell...they survived, but with some interesting shapes, like this 'Death Star' phenotype Isaac J. Craig Venter Institute

Looking for a fluorescent biosensor and don’t know where to start? Want a comprehensive overview of the field? Check out our new review in Chemical Reviews online now as an ASAP article! From co-first authors Dr. Anneliese 💖💜💙 @AyseZSahan Yanghao Zhong doi.org/10.1021/acs.ch…

Super excited to start my lab National Centre for Biological Sciences in March 2025! The lab will primarily be powered by chemistry, and we will build chemical tools for biology with a strong focus on fluorescence imaging. We will collaborate widely and are open to any relevant areas of biology.

Great “tools of the trade” piece by Xiaofu Cao in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology about her recent paper exploiting cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation to make a conditional protein relocalization tool! ToT piece: rdcu.be/d0Utp Original paper (Nature Cell Biology): nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our latest paper is now out in ACS Chemical Biology! Key takeaway: If you're working with fatty acid-conjugated bifunctional molecules containing amide bonds, exercise caution—these bonds may be cleaved by gamma-secretase (and other proteases)✂️ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great profile of former lab undergraduate researcher Chris Diaz #proudofalumni!
