Excited to share our latest paper, out today @CellCellPress. We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. (1/7)

Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen.

Very happy to see my corresponding author paper out in MBoC (@ASCBiology). Here we explore the organisation of the yeast seipin complex across lipid droplet formation and find interesting aspects of protein recruitment and wiring to nutrient availability.

The #ABRCMS2025 conference was my first scientific meeting as an undergrad, and it was the experience that propelled me into science. Being back this week, surrounded by brilliant, aspiring young scientists, has been incredible. #Seeingisbelieving

Ever wanted to do a genome-scale CRISPR screen for a microscopy-based phenotype? Pooled CRISPR screens are amazing, but hard to combine with microscopy... Excited to share a technology platform for such imaging screens and applications to primary cilia... cell.com/developmental-cell/…

Thrilled to share our work showing that the bridge lipid transport protein ATG2A transfers diacylglycerol (DAG), and TAG/PA, from the ER to LDs, thereby recruiting DGAT2 to drive local TAG synthesis, promoting LD expansion while protecting ER membranes.

I'm thrilled to share our new preprint, in which we've found that neurotransmitters can be chemically "marked" as a way to incorporate metabolic history - such as diet or life stage. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Led by Porhathai "Un" Malaiwong, Allen Schroeder and Tia Brown. 🧵(1/6)

🧬BREAKING!🪱Plot twist: Cells aren't meditation pools, they're overcrowded concerts with VIP ropes everywhere! Our @ScienceAdvances study reveals worm cells are insanely crowded AND compartmentalized. Ribosomes = packing peanuts, ANC-1 = the bouncer! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
