I already admired Luke Timmerman as a journalist, but now even 10x more as a person. What a truly incredible achievement. x.com/ldtimmerman/st…

Nice to see Tom featured in the Belgian news! Kudos to this hardworking, passionate scientist and all-round great person, plus brother, working on an inventive new cancer therapy demorgen.be/wetenschap/twe…

Edible antibodies to prevent GI infections rdcu.be/bufkv- most recent work from my previous lab! Good job Vivek Virdi, @NicoCallewaert and co!

Honored to host the 2019 BSSH prize to Dr. Morgane Boone & Sir Paul Nurse (who in 2001 also won that other cute prize, the ⁦The Nobel Prize⁩). Thanks to ⁦#Duvel Moortgat Brewery and Bernard Van den Bogaert of De Koninck Brewery for hosting and supporting the BSSH fund. Cheers!

Today I was reminded of this amazing VIB story where biochemistry and biomedicine beautifully come together: the curious case of asthma-associated Galectin-10 crystals and their in vivo dissolution science.sciencemag.org/content/364/64…

Fresh from the lab - discovery of a new crucial molecular player in the chloroplast UPR! elifesciences.org/articles/49577

Breaking my 1+ yr Twitter hiatus to share that indeed, successful passage through the secretory system is a learnable feature of protein sequences - our new and improved preprint is online! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ending 2020 with another preprint! We discovered a conformational switch that couples the eIF2, eIF2-P, and ISRIB binding sites in eIF2B. Lead by Michael Schoof and with great teamwork from fellow Walter lab members Lan Wang and Rosalie Lawrence. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Peter Walter lab at UCSF is seeking a SRA to work in an exciting collaborative environment on projects related to the Integrative Stress Response. Please RT and share with graduating seniors--we look forward to more in person lab time soon! bit.ly/3sKfvxK

We’re so #UCSFProud of professor David Julius, PhD, winner of the #NobelPrize for Physiology/Medicine! Please help us congratulate him! @DJuliusSF

New Walter lab preprint! Lan Wang, Michael Schoof, Rosalie Lawrence & I found that the βH160D mutation in eIF2B promotes an I-State like conformation. More evidence for the A/I-State model of allosteric regulation of the ISR. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can single-molecule microscopy pick up subtle changes in receptor oligomerization in live cells? You bet! Our study exploring the role of clustering in the activation of the ER stress sensor IRE1 is out in eLife - the journal. Huge thanks to all coauthors! #OpenAccess doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Please RT: Rob and I are organizing the subgroup session "Subcellular Localization of RNA and Translation" at the ASCB|EMBO annual meeting #cellbio2022. Submit an abstract before August 2! ascb.org/cellbio2022/ab… #RNA American Society for Cell Biology EMBO

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

It's finally official: our lab + the Frost lab's structure of eIF2B, revealing the molecular mechanism of the memory-enhancing molecule ISRIB. Really magnificent work by outstanding graduate students! science.sciencemag.org/content/359/63…
