Big day for the lab as our MultiMap platform is now published on Science! Congratulations to Lindsey Zhi lindsey Lin and the team! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


From MD Anderson Cancer Center team: A clinical series of an uncommon, late and unfortunately aggressive complication of #PancreaticCancer: Clinical and molecular characteristics of patients with brain metastasis secondary to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma academic.oup.com/oncolo/advance…

Super pumped that our paper is now online at nature.com/articles/s4146… Huge congrats to Gloria Asantewaa, Ph.D. and Emily Tuttle for leading this paper across the finish line! Big thanks to the Editorial staff at Nature Communications and reviewers for improving the paper.

Thrilled to have been promoted to full professor UC Berkeley! Thank you to all the members of my lab (past and present), my family, and my colleagues at UC Berkeley and beyond. Shout out to Dan Nomura Roberto Zoncu Rapé Lab Scott Dixon. What a journey! Very thankful. ☺️❤️


😍 These stunning images come from researchers who are working to understand the metabolic processes within cells that support life. 1️⃣ Brain cells, Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara 2️⃣ Pancreas cells, Rushika M. Perera 3️⃣ Brain cells, Aparna Bhaduri 4️⃣ Mitochondria, Samantha Lewis



biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Our new preprint by Ashley Segura ashley segura and Rose Citron dissects a deep connection between autophagy and PKA in neuronal signaling, with implications for neurological disease. Great collaboration with Mancias Lab!

Tenure-track faculty search of the UCSF Biochemistry Department is open for applications! We are looking for creative, innovative scientists asking fundamental questions in any area of biology. Join our vibrant, collaborative, and supportive community! aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF05209



Researchers David Shackelford, Roberto Zoncu + Rushika M. Perera are using advanced techniques to track interactions inside cells. Here you can see mitochondria (🟢) + lysosomes (🔴) interact, they impact cell health, behavior & survival.

Great opportunity to join an amazing community of scientists, colleagues and friends in the Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology Division of UC Berkeley MCB !

Congratulations Daniele Canzio for being selected as a 2024 Rita Allen Foundation Scholars ! So well deserved 🙌🥳 UC San Francisco #WeillInstitute #Neuroscience #UCSFNeurology ritaallen.org/stories/announ…

Our rising (super)star Aakriti Aakriti Jain will present her exciting discoveries on the inner workings of the lysosome at the University of Utah Health Rising Stars Symposium!

Super excited for this symposium and the opportunity to share my work with this awesome group of scientists and the amazing community at University of Utah 🥳


So, UChicago Committee on Cancer Biology member Patrick Jonker wrote an update focused on lipid metabolism in the TME: tinyurl.com/5bc4hsfu 3/7


An ‘Awesome Lysosome’ meeting to honor Andrea Ballabio’s 30yrs as leader of the Tigem Telethon Institute 🇮🇹🍾
