The Cuervo Lab

Congratulations to our newest Dr. Pelka! We are so proud of you! One degree down, the MD left to go🎉🕺🏻

🎓 Thesis defense seminar by Sandra Pelka (MSTP candidate): “Focused ultrasound therapy modulates the anti-melanoma immune response through unconventional protein secretion” Mentors: Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, Dr. Chandan Guha, and Dr. Fernando Macian Monday, July 14, 2025

Nuestra conferencia de clausura patrocinada por @FundacionAreces será impartida por Ana María Cuervo, desde EEUU nos habrá sobre #autofagiaselectiva

We're honored to announce that Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo (@AMCuervoLab), Co-Director of Einstein Institute for Aging Research, as a speaker at #TimepieLonevityForum2025! She's a pioneer in protein degradation & aging biology, studying its role in metabolic & neurodegenerative diseases

Einstein Research led by Nikolaos Frangogiannis, M.D., and @AMCuervoLab: How Cardiac Fibroblasts Repair Heart Tissue Following a Heart Attack Learn more at bit.ly/44626pl. #research #cardiac #autophagy

Registration is still OPEN for #KSAutophagy25! 🧬 Join @ChristieTowers + top researchers June 25–28 in Whistler, BC to explore autophagy & endolysosomal pathways in health + disease. 🔗 hubs.la/Q03p-xp80 #autophagy #lysosome #cellbiology #endolysosomes #KSAutophagy25

Interested in learning more about our recent publication on sex and age differences in CMA? @Rabiarkhawaja will present journal club in 15minutes @WAutophagy !!

🧠 Join us this Wednesday, June 18 at 10am ET for WIA Journal Club! Dr. Rabia Khawaja presents: “Sex-specific and cell-type-specific changes in chaperone-mediated autophagy across tissues during aging” (Nature Aging, 2025). Don’t miss it!

Proud to have these woman references in Biochemistry @AMCuervoLab @SEBBM_es

Por el 15 de junio, #DíaMundialDeLaBioquímica queremos destacar el trabajo de la investigadora Ana María Cuervo. #ThisLittleGirlIsme #YoAcadémica #MujeresyCiencia #AcadémicasJóvenes Podéis saber más sobre su trayectoria en: academiajoven.es/actividades/yo…

Fun times at the Senescence and Aging @cshlmeetings a few weeks ago! Ana Maria gave a fantastic talk and @Beccasereda showcased her poster!

Excited to share our latest work on selective autophagy inhibition in cancer published @EmboMolMed embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… a collaborative work from Ana Maria Cuervo and Evris Gavathiotis labs @EinsteinMed @ae_cancercenter

In a new study, Evripidis Gavathiotis, Ph.D., and Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., have identified the NCoR1/RARα protein complex as a regulator of CMA in #lungcancer. The work opens the door for targeted CMA inhibition across a range of cancers. More at bit.ly/4l0O4ej.

1. New paper alert! 🕺🏻 In this collaboration between the Cuervo and @ProfGavathiotis labs, Mericka McCabe and her coauthors developed a first-in-class selective small molecule inhibitor of CMA. embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations all on this publication in @EmboMolMed !!
