Beautiful desert views. Beautiful membrane biology.

Join us for the #FASEB Phospholipids in Aging and Disease SRC in Arizona, July 26–30 2026. Registration is now open!

So much better than a Lipid Droplets conference. Also, we're co-located with FASEB Lipid Droplets 😜

Congratulations, that's fantastic news!

Please REPOST (“likes” don’t help in diffusion!) and consider applying: we work in such a fantastic context, we ask so interesting questions, and we have such a collegial and best-willing atmosphere… CRBM = Happy & Good Science

We are hiring!

Master Projects DANGELOLAB

We have several Master’s thesis projects available in the D’Angelo lab, spanning different areas of lipid biology/biochemistry. If you know someone who might be interested, we’d really appreciate you sharing this. #lipidtime
www.epfl.ch/labs/dangelo...

Please share!!! I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join us. Focus will be on exciting collaborative projects on lipids and membrane biology, pushing the boundaries of in silico "reconstitutions". Previous experience with molecular dynamics simulations of biological systems a strong plus!

Membrane editing with proximity labeling reveals regulators of lipid homeostasis - Nature Chemical Biology Coupling an optogenetic lipid-modifying enzyme with proximity labeling reveals protein networks and mechanisms regulating lipid homeostasis in the membranes of target organelles.

Thrilled to share our latest study, led by @reikatei.bsky.social, in @natchembio.nature.com! We began by asking a simple question—how do cells know if they have too much of a lipid in a particular membrane, and how do they respond to rectify this imbalance?

📄New article!

Fixed cell Peroxisome imaging is now possible with Peroxi_SPY probes
In a new JoVE article Triana Amen, @mschuhmacher.bsky.social and Einat Zalckvar robustly show that Peroxi_SPY stained cells can be fixed and stained by IF!

Thanks James!

Thank you so much Claudia!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much André!

So honored to be awarded the ERC Starting Grant! I am very grateful for this support and looking forward to more exciting #lipidtime 🥳
Also, we will have positions available next year. So stay tuned!

Cover of Labwork to Leadership

In the new book Labwork to Leadership, chemist Jen Heemstra offers actionable leadership advice to principal investigators.

Have you published lipid-protein interactome data? Please let us know, we’d love to include it in the repository. The goal is to build a centralized hub for the scientific community.

Huge thanks to Gaelen Guzman, a graduate student/postdoc in the lab who built it from scratch.

Many thanks Helge!

Fantastic to finally see this story out!!! What a tremendous team effort, so proud to be part of it and congratulations to everyone involved!!!
