Lauren Albrecht

Dream come true to wake up on the cover of Nat Chem Bio #MrTAC #degrader

A UC Irvine-led research team showcases how the use of methylarginine targeting chimeras controls the body’s protein degradation pathway. This method signals a new approach to developing drugs that can more effectively treat disease. Read the full story: bit.ly/3QIhqEr

We’re proud to share that Dr. Lauren Albrecht has been promoted to tenured Associate Professor at UC Irvine! Join us in congratulating Professor Albrecht on this significant milestone and her contributions to our academic community, school, and students! @TheAlbrecht_Lab

RESEARCH | M Campos, LV Albrecht et al. (UC Irvine) Subcellular compartmentalization of the glycolytic enzyme PFKM regulates cell fate and metabolic switch during skeletal muscle differentiation. nature.com/articles/s4225…

Honored to have our latest MrTAC research article featured on the Cover of Cell Chem. Here, we develop the first endogenous MrTAC and decode the rules of protein degradability, expanding tissue-specific degrader modalities.

Thanks to @NatureSMB for publishing a "Research Briefing" on our recent work, highlighting the discoveries and providing context on the story behind our research into how vitamin B2 metabolism regulates FSP1 stability to suppress ferroptosis.

1/3 Thrilled to see our paper led by Kirandeep Deol is out! We used CRISPR screens to uncover regulators of the ferroptosis suppressor FSP1. key discovery: vitamin B2 metabolism stabilizes FSP1 via FAD, revealing a new way vitamins regulate ferroptosis. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@Matt_Muscle_Guy Thank you so much!!

@TheAlbrecht_Lab Congrats Lauren and team. Nice work!

🙏

@tarateslaa @lydfinley Awesome!!

📣 First preprint from the TeSlaa lab 📣 We investigated how methyl-rich nutrient, choline, is used in the body and how systemic one-carbon metabolism responds to dietary methyl-donor deficiency. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…
