Devesh C Pant

Great meeting with CureVCP @MDAorg

Throwback to the @PujolLab @idibell_cat @CIBER_ISCIII ,where my rare disease research journey began. @rarediseaseday. Proud to have been part of this dedicated team. Still working toward better understanding and treatments. #RareDiseaseDay

Meet 2025 Next Gen. Researcher Janani Parameswaran, PhD. She is studying the role of protein TMEM106B in C9orf72, a genetic form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Funded with @AFTDHope and @AANmember. #FTDResearch ow.ly/pjPp50YkzUQ

@arnegennerich Congrats!

Our work is now published in @NatureCellBio! We show that under mechanical load, dynein–dynactin–adaptor complexes recruit a third dynein via a second cargo adaptor, increasing force generation. This reveals an adaptive mechanism that strengthens intracellular transport under load. @EinsteinMed nature.com/articles/s4155…

@LiveLikeLou4 Happy 50th Birthday, Wendy! Wishing you a year filled with happiness and good health

🎉 Happy Birthday to our Executive Director, Wendy Faust! 🎉 We are grateful to Wendy for leading Live Like Lou and continuing to support ALS families while honoring Lou Gehrig's legacy. Drop a birthday wish for Wendy in the comments! 👇🎉

Applications for the 2025 Live Like Lou Postdoctoral Fellowship are now open! This opportunity supports early-career scientists studying ALS. Apply by July 7, 2025, to be considered. Visit bit.ly/3HQWwhL for more details. 🧬

@LiveLikeLou4 Thanks for visiting.

We visited Dr. Devesh Pant’s lab at Emory University last week. He’s pioneering ALS research on sphingolipids and the SPTLC1 gene. Dr. Pant received our 2023 Live Like Lou Career Development Award! It was lovely to see innovative science in action and connect with his team.
