Lab awarded NIH R35 Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award
We are thrilled to announce that the lab has been awarded an R35 Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences! This will fund our work on the trafficking of lipids within and between cells over the next five years. You can read more about the program here.
Lab presents at Molecular Membrane Biology GRC
Amit, Ian and Sarah all attended Molecular Membrane Biology: Principles of Intracellular Organization. Amit presented a poster on his work about lipid droplet and peroxisome biogenesis from the ER; Ian presented a poster on his work about the trafficking of ApoE in astrocytes; and Sarah presented a poster on Greg’s work about the mechanism and function of lipid droplet-mitochondria contact sites. We also enjoyed the cool New Hampshire weather and traditional GRC lobster dinner!
Good-bye Tim, and good luck!
