Thrilled to announce Dr. Mehdi Mollapour @MedMol as our new CSSI President (2025–2026) and Dr. Adrienne Edkins @Bio_BRU as President-Elect (2027–2028)! Huge thanks to Dr. Lea Sistonen @sistonheat for her dedicated service as Immediate Past President. bit.ly/4gCGEfB
From all of us at Cell Stress Society International, warm wishes for a healthy and peaceful holiday season! May we find renewal and resilience, just like the cells we study, as we head into the new year. Here’s to continued growth, discoveries, and brighter days ahead!
Cheers to another great year in the @MedMol @bourboulialab @TheMarq1 lab group @UrologyUpstate! Happy holidays all! ❄️ ❄️
Snapshot from this year’s holiday lunch! Feeling so grateful for my incredible team and everything we’ve achieved so far. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season! 🎉✨

📢 Dr Bourboulia Secreted Hsp90 (eHsp90) has ATPase activity but does it engage with ATP in the extracellular environment? eHsp90 and MMPs in tumor invasion involves balance of TIMP2/AHA1 binding, impacting ECM PTMs impact eHSP90 secretion Src impacts Hsp90AA/AB phosphorylation
Have you checked out our latest @NatureComms article? Learn about how #phosphorylation can impact the conformation of the ubiquitous protein #HSP90 thus opening therapeutic avenues & drugging the undruggable #epichaperome #CancerResearch #PrecisionMedicine nature.com/articles/s4146…
As a new faculty member at UNC Charlotte, I am excited to present my first seminar here. @ShanYanLab Thanks for the picture!
Thanks @buchnerlab_tum for organizing such an amazing meeting! Sorry for missing it. So many familiar faces @Bio_BRU @lab_colombo C. Prodromou @bourboulialab @HawleLab @TheMarq1 B. Blagg @BiophysK @KravatsLab @AgardLab M. Mayer.
Excited to see our work highlighted by @NatureComms! Discover how #HSP90 #phosphorylation fuels #epichaperome formation, revealing new insights into #cancer aggressiveness and #pluripotency. Collaboration with @UofNH @unipv @MSK_DeptOfMed
Researchers from @chiosislabmskcc; @MSKCancerCenter and their collaborators show how HSP90 phosphorylation drives epichaperome formation, linking this process to cancer and pluripotency. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Thanks to my group @SarahJean258 @JenniferHeritz @BeckySagerMDPhD & collaborators @TheMarq1 @bourboulialab - FC-FRET helped us quantitatively visualize Protein Phosphatase-5 conformation changes in cells @Hsp90Machine- sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Nobel Laureate and HMS Professor Gary Ruvkun shared lighthearted tales about his start, a science revolution, and the power of worms.
Did you ever wonder about olfaction and anosmia in animals. Why do worms love some odors and avoid some. Here is us chasing C elegans in the wild and their microbiome. Dig in if you have time ( you may find Leucine and an olfactory GPCR within). elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…
Finally!!! Amazing choice and another Nobel for C. elegans researchers!!! 🏆 (and great people)
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
