Our lab is using Legionella pneumophila as a tool to gain insights into basic mammalian cell-biological processes. @UCSF



. @PurdueScience professor Seema Mattoo and her team have found a small molecule inhibitor that could help treat neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes by targeting the protein HYPE. @MattooLab purduesci.com/3MGpAIa #PurdueScience #Science #PurdueBiology #Biology #Research

Search: Tenure track Faculty Position @UCSF in the Dept. of Micro and Immuno, with lab space at the Mission Bay campus! We seek a creative investigator with a strong independent research plan who will be a great mentor, colleague, and peer. Job ad soon. Assistant Prof level.


🎉 Today, Arc welcomes our newest Core Investigator, Dr. @FelixHorns! Dr. Horns joins the Arc community as a Core Investigator and @Stanford as Assistant Professor of Genetics. The Horns lab works at the interface of synthetic biology and genomics to discover the fundamental principles governing how cells and tissues operate, particularly within the immune system and the brain. At Arc, the Horns lab will create and apply new technologies for monitoring and manipulating living cells, shedding light into how cells change over time and how therapeutics could be delivered directly to cells within the body. Welcome to Arc, Dr. Horns! 🥼

The tiny predator Lacrymaria olor owes its shape-shifting ability to an “origami-like” cellular architecture, a new Science study finds. The results offer a glimpse into geometrical control of behavior in single cells. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/7eu
