Charlotte Aumeier, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry @sciences_UNIGE, will be awarded the Friedrich Miescher Award 2024 for her outstanding achievements in biochemistry. More info ls2.ch/funding/awards

🏆👏Congratulations to our former PhD student, @MireiaAnCa, for being awarded the esteemed Laemmli Prize. It awards her outstanding thesis work on the crosstalk between walking Kinesin-1 and microtubule network organization. 🔬

🎙️Check out the Charlotte's interview in the 'Cell scientist to watch' section of the latest @J_Cell_Sci. Cell scientist to watch – Charlotte Aumeier journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

This success was made possible thanks to the work of @Miesch_M_Julie, @robeertowimbish , Marie-Claire Velluz, @ACCESS_Unige, and financed by @snsf_ch, @BiologyNccr, @UNIGEnews. 👏👏👏

🚨🚨Just out!🚨🚨 Our latest work on the regulation of #microtubule dynamics by +TIP networks phase separation is now published in @PNASNews (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…) ↓↓↓

This success was made possible thanks to the work of @Fern_Sim_DS and @EAtweepuntnul and financed by @snsf_ch, @BiologyNccr, @UNIGEnews and @EPFL.

Exciting news! Our latest collaboration with @Beatfierz Lab is now available online in @NatureChemistry (nature.com/articles/s4155…). We develop a new technology to produce semi-synthetic tubulin with defined PTMs and reveal that polyglutamylation directs detyrosination.

Hold on to your seats! The Pint of Science festival starts today until Wednesday in 26 countries and likely in your own city. Listen to talks from local experts while sipping your favourite drink in a pub 🍺🫖🥤 In Geneva we organized 9 amazing events pintofscience.com

We are very excited to share our latest #review on the impact of shaft dynamics in the regulation of the #microtubule network. #damage_sites, @unige_en, @AmineMehBio sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to the little elves of the party committee for their amazing work! #christmas

Excited to share a new study from our group @unige_en biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Here we ask: does is matter where exactly in the cell a GPCR drives signaling? We address this question by focusing on opioid receptors. A thread (1/7).
