🎉 Big congrats to Hariri Lab member Hasnat Ahmed for winning first spot in the poster competition Wayne State University Undergraduate Research Symposium! 🏆 Way to go! 👏 #UndergraduateResearch #PosterAward

So incredibly proud of my student Ese Obaseki for winning the prestigious Rumble Fellowship! His hard work and dedication are truly inspiring Wayne State University Graduate School Wayne State University Biological Sciences 🎉 #phdlife

#NoFilters ! We hope you can see how the partly sunny afternoon started turning into dusk. Thanks to PflumLab for taking these photos. #wsuchemistry #SolarEclipse2024

BIG thanks to the MICR core Wayne State University School of Medicine for hosting our #Microscopy graduate class! The hands-on experience and learning about the cutting-edge imaging technologies available on campus were invaluable for the students Wayne State College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Wayne State University Biological Sciences

Save the date! So excited to be part of this EMBO /FEBS Lecture Course on #Lipids and #organelles . Spots are getting filled! Apply by April 1st Looking forward to meeting everyone. spetses2024.sites.uu.nl

I’m thrilled to see Ian Windham and team’s work about the trafficking of #APOE to #LipidDroplets published today in JCellBiol: rupress.org/jcb/article-ab… ApoE Discoveries

We have a new paper from the Gerry Hammond lab (Pittsburgh) who show that a major player in removing PI4P from the plasma membrane is ORP2 NOT at membrane contact sites (along with ORP5).

Very happy and excited to share that my lab Wayne State College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Wayne State University Biological Sciences received NIH R35 funding to study cellular metabolism at organelle contact site! Proud of my team and grateful for my mentors 🥳😀

We are celebrating two of my AMAZING undergrads (Reema and Zaid) who are starting medical school Wayne State University Wayne State University School of Medicine Wayne State University Biological Sciences Super proud of you!!🥳👏

Grateful for the Richard Barber Interdisciplinary Research Program Wayne State Physics and Astronomy for funding my lab this summer to study how #lipids are transferred at membrane contact sites!

Had an awesome time at the FASEB Endoplasmic Reticulum Conference: Structure, Function and Disease meeting in Florida. So great to see everyone! Thanks for organizing Guillaume Thibault and Carolyn Sevier! 👏 FASEB #ERSRC

What a fantastic meeting #ERSRC ! It was great to share our work and meet everyone. Looking forward to the next ER meeting!

Always so much fun hanging out with the endoplasmic reticulum crowd while learning so much at FASEB ER
