primarily musing about thin sheets of grease in our cells. shamelessly promoting work from my lab. 🏳️🌈
Today in @ScienceMagazine we report how lipids specialize for life under the crushing pressures of the deep sea and what this means more broadly for the composition of cell membranes (1/n) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Thrilled to be part of this cohort with such a great group of other biophysicists and cell biologists @cohenlaboratory @cjobara #lipidtime
Lipids are critical to cell function and stability. @ibudin and @cjobara are developing techniques to visualize and track how lipids move throughout the cell - which could help us better understand metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. #FrontierScience
New piece in Journal of Cell Science on the origin and evolution of mitochondrial inner membrane structure and composition #lipidtime @Co_Biologists journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…
Be sure to mark your calendars for March 26th at 12pm ET for the @AsbmbLrd seminar series. We have two great mitochondria-focused lipid talks planned from @JasonCasler1 from Laura Lackner's lab and Kailash Venkatraman from @ibudin's lab. Register here! events.zoom.us/ev/AqPwG5k03Rl…
Nature research paper: RNA control of reverse transcription in a diversity-generating retroelement nature.com/articles/s4158…
Thank you to the @RNASociety for featuring me in the spotlight! In the interview, I reflect on my path in science, the mentors who shaped me (@MarraffiniLab, I’m looking at you!), and the importance of diversity in STEM. Link: rnasociety.org/naama-aviram--… #RNAsky #WomenInScience
We are delighted to announce our next RNA Society Member Spotlight! rnasociety.org/naama-aviram--… Dr. Naama Aviran is a postdoctoral researcher in the Marraffini Lab at Rockefeller University in New York. In this spotlight, written by Ayushi Rehman and edited by Dr. Julieta…
Delighted to share our latest work “Protocells by spontaneous reaction of cysteine with short-chain thioesters” published in @NatureChemistry. Great study that offers a new recipe to explain how life emerged on Earth!! nature.com/articles/s4155…
Finally recovered from almost a week in beautiful Ithaca giving a @CornellChem seminar, collecting data with @CHESS_user, and seeing all my old haunts. Thanks @AndoLab @basktastic for hosting me 🍁🍂🍃
New review at @jlipidres on the nexus we see between mitochondrial lipid metabolism and biophysics, with a focus on lipid curvature jlr.org/article/S0022-…
Epic autumnal-ness (and science) at @dartmouth last week. Thanks @Emily_L_Behrman for the invite!
