We offer a PostDoc position for a fully funded project on lipid-encoded #lipidtime protein quality-control checkpoints at the Golgi: great collaborators, excellent working & living conditions & benchspace with a view ;) Please share and repost!
A study establishes a correlative light and electron microscopy workflow that reveals how individual lipid species distribute across nanoscale membrane domains, uncovering sphingomyelin sorting within...
Looks like a great @embo.org workshop coming in September: “Lipid Code to Life”, with a who’s who of lipid #biochemistry… (e.g. @dimovalab.bsky.social @holthuislab.bsky.social @sciezgin.bsky.social etc ) More info and registration: meetings.embo.org/event/26-lip... #lipids #biophysics
Busy lipids in nano hotspots: a team with @mathilda95.bsky.social, @nadlerlab.bsky.social & Ori Avinoam @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social developed Lipid-CLEM - an imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible & show how they are organized at nanoscale. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...
Now out in its final form in @jacs.acspublications.org: Reaction pathways & photoreaction yields of bifunctional lipid probes. The numbers that explain why we spend so much time optimizing protocols for cellular assays. 😉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Postdoctoral researcher @isaacsiuwong.bsky.social in the @hymanlab.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de is 2026 Grass Fellow @grassfoundation.bsky.social @mblscience.bsky.social. 🎉 He will pursue his project “Dancing diatoms as a proto-neural model” at MBL for 14 weeks. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

ICYMI: New Online! Tight junction structure, assembly and (dys)function
Modern lipid biology has evolved far beyond the traditional view of lipids as simple building blocks or energy substrates. Lipids are now recognised as dynamic regulators of biological structures and…
We have two exciting master thesis projects available in the lab. Please see the announcements below. Start date is flexible, but earliest September or October 2026. If you are interested, please send...
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41580-026-00978-wTight junctions form essential paracellular barriers and regulate cell polarity and tissue mechanics. This Review discusses how tight junction components assemble into strand networks, and explores tight junction function in development and disease, and emerging therapeutic strategies.

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale.
Bifunctional diazirine lipids are versatile tools for mapping protein–lipid interactions and cellular localization by photo-cross-linking. Yet, the cross-linking efficiency of these probes has not bee...
It's always important to carefully characterize the reactivity of your favorite tools to optimize applications. We teamed up with Carla Kirschbaum and Carol V. Robinson to map photolysis reaction pathways of bifunctional lipids www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
