Here’s the big one: In collaboration with Alf Honigmann, Shevchenko Lab, Björn Drobot and Martin Hof we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Presenting the work on Tensins and biomechanics. The study is led by Anusha Shivashankar & supported by Avinash Soundararajan #CellBio2024 American Society for Cell Biology

With Dr. Borras (UNC-CH) and Dr. Carol Toris (UNMC/CWRU/OSU), Sanjoy The Bhattacharya Lab@BascomPalmerEye, Vasanth (Duke), and Sai Nair (UCSF) at the Trabecular Meshwork Society meeting.

Working with talented pool of postdocs and grad students is the best thing in academia. 2024 was good and productive. To a great 2025. Anusha Shivashankar #MichelleSurma Avinash Soundararajan #RodahinaPasteurin Srimathi #GregRognon. Thanks for all the hardwork team.

I am thrilled to announce that Dr Gregory Rognon #Greg a Postdoctoral Fellow from my lab matched at William Beaumont for his Ophthalmology Residency.

We trust you, Coach! 🫡👌👀👀 Jon Scheyer

Thanks for the hard work Avinash Soundararajan and others from the lab.

Two abstracts are accepted for talks by Srimathi Anusha Shivashankar and three for posters by #Greg, Avinash Soundararajan, and #Roda from the lab for #ARVO2025 ARVO Congratulations to the team for their hard work. Tune in soon for more info.

What does #NIH and #NIHfunding mean to the Universities and School of Medicines across the country and from the advancement of science and medicine.

Who’s going to join me? I’ll be there advocating for continued funding to support our important work and funding to support the training of future scientists!

Time for some celebrations. Yesterday we celebrated Anusha's Anusha Shivashankar birthday in the lab. Anusha also received the news about the ARVO travel award to travel to Utah for the 2025 Annual Meeting. Thanks ARVO.

Mark May 5 (11:30am MT) on your #ARVO2025 calendar for an insightful discussion on the science of rod-mediated dark adaptation for Age-Related #MacularDegeneration with Christine Curcio, PhD, FARVO and Cynthia Owsley PhD, MSPH, FARVO (UAB): bit.ly/2tqBu07 ARVO

Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.

“One of the biggest tragedies I've observed in my professional life.” David R. Liu, winner of the Breakthrough in Life Sciences and professor at the Broad Institute and Harvard University, describes the cost of government cuts to science research at universities. Walter Isaacson

The new Disney Pixar movie Elio has the main character sporting an eye patch. This seems like a good time to spread the word about amblyopia, the treatment for it, and #NIHfunded research on brain-based causes of vision loss. brnw.ch/21wU0DC
