📢Two exciting #MembraneTraffic seminars this week! Join Fèlix Campelo, Francesca Bottanelli and me for some stellar science with Sarvenaz Sarabipour Sarvenaz Sarabipour and Wanda Kukulski Wanda Kukulski More information at felixcampelo.wixsite.com/membranetraffi…



Our tetrameric forms of the serotonin receptor 5-HT3R made it to the cover of the The EMBO Journal ! Paper here: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… It's our first cover and the first one since my PhD. Freddy Freddy Frischknecht shall be proud of me :)

The Martin lab has an open postdoc position at the interface of #cytoskeleton and #condensate biology, in a fantastic research community UNIGE_en Biologie - UNIGE Molecular & Cellular Biology Dept 🔬 Geneva 🇨🇭 LifeSciencesPhD_UNIGE If interested, do not hesitate to contact us: mocel.unige.ch/research-group… Please RT!




Registration is open for the 2025 iteration of the wonderful EMBO Events workshop on cell polarity and membrane dynamics #EMBOcellPolarity25 I am organizing with Ed Munro! Wonderful lineup wonderful please sign up and RT meetings.embo.org/event/25-cell-…

I'll talk about the mechanisms of selective lipid transport. There will also be two unpublished goodies: Lipid superresolution imaging (collaboration with Alf Honigmann) and Lipid CLEM (collaboration with Ori Avinoam). Looking forward to seeing you all!
