Assistant Professor @BCMB_UTK. Interested in organelle formation and function.
Excited to present first publication from the Joshi lab, now in @JCellBiol. Here, we show that phosphatidic acid regulates Pex30 distribution at ER subdomains for lipid droplet biogenesis by binding to dysferlin domain. rupress.org/jcb/article/22…
New publication from the lab @pnas . With the collaboration of Dr. Ping Kang @pingkang0, we uncovered how developmental NF-kB signaling links developmental timing (time to maturity) to lifespan😊😊pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
In the right conditions, antibiotic resistance can happen extremely fast. Here is an example from my own work of bacteria overcoming an antibiotic in just eleven days in a giant petri dish: 1/
Jason Casler @JasonCasler1, Clare Harper and Laura Lackner find that mitochondria–plasma membrane contact sites regulate the ER–mitochondria encounter structure. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13… #JCSMitoSI #OpenAccess #ReadandPublish
Interesting work in Arabidopsis shows specialized ER subdomains are the sites of LD and peroxisome biogenesis. @Dev_Cell cell.com/developmental-…
Thank you for a wonderful seminar! @TheBaiLab
For graduate seminar on 3/5/25, Dr. Hua Bai gave presented research from his lab about the role peroxisome-mitochondrial communication plays in aging. Dr. Bai was hosted by Dr. Amit Joshi. Very Interesting Talk!
We are seeking a #postdoctoral fellow to conduct research on #mitochondria, #calcium signaling, and protein quality control in relation to #cardiac health and heart failure. More information: careers.atriumhealth.org/jobs/15703554-…

Happy to announce I am serving as Director of the Lipid Metabolism & Neurodegenerative Diseases (LMND) Program at UTSW. Our goal is to stimulate collaborations bridging lipid metabolism & neurological disease. So proud of our lab & their cell biology adventures! #onward_science
Our amazing attendees leaving their mark on #CellBio2024. They've created a work or art! Let us know if you were one of the many who signed the graffiti wall.
Had a great time co-chairing the subgroup session with @LLLackner @ASCBiology. The session was well attended, had fantastic talks and great discussion. Thank you to all the speakers!!


New grant approved! Hooray! Looking for a #PhDstudent with strong interest in membrane protein reconstitution, physicochemical membrane properties and FRET-based assays.👉 Which membrane properties drive protein partitioning to #LipidDroplets? Please share! #sciencejobs
Morgan House from the Joshi lab will be presenting a poster @ASCBiology #CellBio2024. 👇

Dear #LipidDroplet friends, we just launched the website for the next #EMBOLipidDroplets Workshop in September 2025. Check out the amazing lineup of speakers. Abstract submission deadline is 10 June 2025. Hope to see many of you there! #organelles meetings.embo.org/event/25-lipid…
Super happy to have Cohen Lab PhD student Ian Windham's paper about #APOE trafficking to #LipidDroplets featured in this exciting collection!!
Our annual collection highlights twelve of the most outstanding papers that showcase the exceptional range and quality of research published by JCB. We are delighted to serve as an independent venue for the awe-inspiring world of cell biology! hubs.la/Q02_fVs30 #CellBio2024
Heading to #CellBio2024? Do you love #lipids? Join us for an exciting subgroup on Lipids in Organelle Form and Function, Saturday at 1:45 PM! Lipid-themed happy hour to follow but you must attend the session to find out the location!
Excited to co-chair a session on Cell Biology of Organelles with @LLLackner @ASCBiology #CellBio2024 on Monday, 12/16 at 5pm. We have a great line up of speakers.. check it out! 👇

Fantastic!! Congratulations, Manue!
Our latest work as a cover story in @ScienceMagazine ! 🌱 How do plants halt cytokinesis to build plasmodesmata ? Main suspect: the ER . 👀 Stellar work by @PatrickZQLI, with @hortense_moreau, Jules Petit, @felixmendu, @Caillaud_MC, and @BIC_Bordeaux science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
