Doctoral Candidate @RouxLab @UNIGE_en🇨🇭👨🔬 | @UCBerkeley MCB Biochemistry Alum 🐻 | here I post science 🧪, travels ✈️, and more fun! 🤩 | views are my own
Come follow me on 🦋 for more science and fun ! I’ll be maintaining my account here and continue to be regularly posting on both to reach everyone :) as always, expect plenty of science, positivity, food, and travels! Have a nice weekend! You can find me: @joshuatran.bsky.social
What a conference! It was such a great pleasure to share my research & discuss with amazing cell biologists from all parts of the world at #CellBio2024 . I am inspired by the community & grateful for all the amazing interactions. Looking forward to next time! @ASCBiology @EMBO




It was fun to learn and discuss cool science at ASCB | EMBO Cell Bio meeting! Thanks to all the ones who stopped by my poster! #CellBio2024 @ASCBiology @EMBO
Don’t miss out on TODAY’S session, “Surfing the Surface: Navigating the waves of Membrane Dynamics” at the @ASCBiology @EMBOevents #CellBio2024 ! Join us for fascinating talks in Room 30C at 8h45. @EMBO #CellBio24

It was a great pleasure to present my work at the In Vitro Organelles Subgroup at #CellBio2024 ! Many thanks to the organizers, staff, speakers and those who came to listen! I have my poster, B163, on Tuesday, the 17th at 11h15, to discuss more about membrane bending!




I am pleased to be sharing my work in the @RouxLab at @ASCBiology & @EMBO Cell Bio 2024! If you’re interested in membrane bending, crowding, curvature and of course the ESCRT machinery, pass by my talk on Saturday, Dec. 14th and/or my poster on Tuesday, Dec. 17th! #CellBio2024

🚨 For all membrane dynamics and trafficking enthusiasts attending @ASCBiology @EMBO #CellBio2024! I’m will be chairing the session “Surfing the Surface: Navigating the Waves of Membrane Dynamics” on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 08h45 in Room 30C. Come join for these amazing talks!

If you are at ASCB #CellBio2024, don't miss a great Lysosomes session: tinyurl.com/496tmh6a. Superstar postdoc Aakriti @aakritijain24 will present her exciting discovery of a lysosomal mechanism for membrane protein degradation. More great talks by @HijaiShin and others!
Fantastic talk by @RobertoZoncu on lysosomal integrity and repair hosted by the @RouxLab ! I had the pleasure of taking MCB100B with Roberto during my studies at @UCBerkeley. It was so nice to hear more about the work being done!

Come follow for science and fun at 🦋 if you’re there! I will also continue to post here :)

Honored to be the recipient of the GSV Prize 2024 for my thesis on +TIP phase separation in the @Aumeier_Lab at the @sciences_UNIGE☺️

Really proud of this paper just out in JCB. At almost every turn, SURF4 surprised us. Amazing PhD student, @jmaldutyte, sleuthed it out. rupress.org/jcb/article/22…
Now out in NSMB for those who missed our biorxiv back in 2023.. rdcu.be/dZSPQ
The missing piece in the bacterial #ESCRT-III story.. #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😎😵💫 Wonderful collaboration with @Colom_D @RouxLab… 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
There’s something grounding and relaxing about cooking for friends at home on the weekend 🧑🍳 it’s what life is all about — a few drinks, good food, and amazing company 😊

Our latest #Ichthyosporean #EvoDevo story, led by M. Olivetta @ChandniBhickta @NChiaruttini & in co. with @burnsajohn is finally out @Nature . Link⏩: nature.com/articles/s4158… Preprint⏩: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/5)
Honored to be part of an impressive ComeInCell team of 14 PIs, 6 academic partners and 7 companies in 9 countries! Funded by @ERC_Research @UKRI_News We are looking for 17 motivated PhD students interested in #synthetic_biology #membranes #condensates 👉comeincell.org
We're super excited to launch ComeInCell- a doctoral network aimed to develop advanced cellular mimics that integrate functional membrane structures and biomolecular condensates. With a team of 14 PIs and 13 associated partners, this will be an exciting journey!
