what if organelle interactions could be created and controlled synthetically? if you are at ASCB tomorow, check out the session "Toward Building In Vitro Organelle Interaction Systems" Saturday 9:30- 11:00 room 33B organized by @marymirvis.bsky.social Hanaa Hariri, and Gant Luxton.

Looking forward to sharing some work on endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria contact biology and metabolism at #cellbio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social

I’m also looking for opportunities to learn more about industry internships! Please reach out if you’ll be in sunny San Diego!

Our new preprint is now online! Here we describe in detail our strategy to isolate bacteria and fungi from pancreatic cancer patients. We also characterized a newly isolated Klebsiella oxytoca strain (UMKO1) in more detail. Thank you to all the co-authors and mentors! @lyssiotislab.bsky.social

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from gene expression and real-time fluorescence to modulation..
