Dusting off :D

Dusting the swimming suit to join the Rocio Sancho's lab at Kings in this challenge, to support those living with diabetes - check out the website and if you can, please donate!

The Imperial MiR-acles We are a team of researchers working at Imperial College London. We study how insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas work — and what goes wrong in diabetes. Our research focuses on tiny ...

Our lab members are joining forces for this one...a wonderful excuse to keep active this summer and contribute to the great work that the DUK does in supporting those living with diabetes. If you want to contribute, check out our team:

Big Congrats to talented postdoc @ralen30 (Rosa Alen) and her former group at @FatlivL (Led by Angela Valverde) for this fantastic work!!!

🚨🚨 New pre-print from the lab. led by the amazing @alejotorrescano.bsky.social !

Excellent article Ildem!

Awww, what a lovely photo!!we are all very looking forward to welcoming Cristina and I'm sure this will bring even more opportunities for our groups to get together 😄

Still time to apply!

Applications from US welcome – four years can feel longer or shorter depending on where you are 😉

Looking forward to visiting Kings tomorrow!

Last couple of days to apply!!

Had the first Christmas celebration of the year with the team!we had a fantastic time chatting and playing board games in the pub, with loads of laughs!simple things are the best when in great company...feeling a very lucky PI!

Sensing of extracellular L-Proline availability by the integrated stress response determines the outcome of cell competition Cell competition is a quality control acting from development to the adult that eliminates cells that are less-fit than their neighbours. How winner cells induce the elimination of losers during this ...

Very happy to share the latest preprint from the lab. We find that during cell competition, winners induce an increase in proline metabolism in loser cells, and this drives their elimination through repression of the integrated stress response.

Looking forward to reading this in detail!!!bravo!:)

We are recruiting a postdoctoral research associate! Have a look at the flyer and/or the links below and get in touch if you have any questions! And please, share widely!!

Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in β cells - Nature Metabolism The insulin inhibitory receptor (inceptor) is found to bind to insulin and to regulate insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.

Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: “Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cells”.
