Christian's work is out today. As a lab tradition, here he is stapling his @NatureCellBio paper outside the lab
Delighted to share Christian's work on the mechanism regulating apical sorting published today in @NatureCellBio . Christian is looking for a postdoc and any lab would be lucky to have him! @VUBasicSciences @VanderbiltCDB @VUCellImaging nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Happy to see that Mini-review out. The energy barrier to start writing was a real struggle but once over, I had a blast digging into the literature to expose my view on the messenger functions of cell death. doi.org/10.1042/BST20220925 @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences @LabMacara
