Stefanie receives a Russek Award
Many congrats to Stefanie for receiving an Award (Second Prize in the Genetics and Genomics Program) at the 24th Annual Henry Russek Student Achievement Day. Look at her, not even back from maternity leave yet, and already presenting a poster!!
Welcome Justin!
We are happy to welcome to the lab Justin English as our first graduate student from the Pharmacology Program. Looking forward to do some fun science together!
Novel Role for GPS2 in Mitochondria-Nuclear Communication
We are very proud of our latest story now finally out today in Molecular Cell!! Read here how GPS2 regulates Mitochondrial Retrograde Signaling in Mammalian Cells: http://www.cell.com/molecular-cell/fulltext/S1097-2765(18)30096-0 A big thank to everyone who has worked hard across the country to make this happen!
Congratulations Dr. Cederquist!
These past few months have gone by in a flurry. Carly successfully defended her thesis back in March, won the 2017 Russek Day Award in April and is now getting ready to leave us…. it’s a bittersweet moment…. the lab will feel quite empty starting next week, but we are also very proud of her […]
Prime time for GPS2 on The 60 Second Metabolist
Watch Valentina and Carly discussing our most recent findings about the role of GPS2 in the insulin signaling pathway at http://www.molecularmetabolism.com/60s_metabolist.php
Last news feed for 2016: GPS2-mediated inhibition of Ubc13 is essential for proper B cell development
Congratulations to Claudia and all her collaborators! Their work characterizing GPS2 knock-out in B cells is now in press at JBC: http://www.jbc.org/cgi/content/long/M116.755132v1
A novel player in the insulin signaling pathway reported in Molecular Metabolism
Congratulations to Carly and all her co-authors for the exciting discovery of a novel player in the insulin signaling pathway now in press at Molecular Metabolism (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.molmet.2016.10.007). Dissecting the phenotype of GPS2 adipo-specific KO mice has been a long and painful process but the hard work has paid off! Not only a few more tiles have been added to […]
Russek Day Student Achievement Award to Carly
