We are organizing a mini-symposium on "Membrane and Organelle Dynamics" at ASBMB 2026! #ASBMB @asbmb.bsky.social
@aydinlab.bsky.social and I have put together a fantastic lineup of speakers for Day 1 morning. Come learn about some cutting-edge research in the field.

It was great to visit Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard Medical School over the past couple of days. Thank you for the kind invitation and for the engaging conversations. #mitochondria @nyupainresearch.bsky.social @nyulangone.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social

Thank you Mimi :)

Cardiolipin dynamics promote membrane remodeling by mitochondrial OPA1 - Nature Communications This study reveals how cardiolipin governs mitochondrial morphology by modulating the activity of human OPA1 and how its replacement by monolyso-cardiolipin, as observed in Barth syndrome, impacts mitochondrial membrane-shaping mechanisms.

Excited to share that our paper on mitochondrial cardiolipin dynamics is published in @natcomms.nature.com today! We provide molecular explanations for unique aspects of mitochondrial morphology and the mechanisms underlying cardiolipin-related Barth Syndrome.

#Postdoc-opportunity at Columbia U. in New York!!

Looking for a postdoc position? We are interested in candidates from biochemistry background & excited about fractionation, purification and reconstitution to study autonomous clocks in the cell cycle, in colab. with @aydinlab.bsky.social at NYU!

PRC Highlight: Welcome to the PRC-Structural Biologist Dr. Halil Aydin and Dr. Nestor Jimenez-our Director of the PRC e-phys core!! We are so excited to have you join the team! 👏🥳🎉

I am happy to share that we recently moved our lab to NYU and are ready to do exciting science in the big apple! We are hiring talented postdocs for a variety of projects ranging from structural cell biology to molecular mechanisms of neurodegeration! Please reach out —> aydinlab.org

Fatty acyl-coenzyme A activates mitochondrial division through oligomerization of MiD49 and MiD51 - Nature Cell Biology Liu et al. find that long-chain acyl-coenzyme A activates two mitochondrial fission proteins, MiD49 and MiD51, by inducing their oligomerization. This activates their ability to stimulate DRP1 GTPase ...

How do subcellular compartments communicate cellular signals? Our work on the regulation of mitochondrial fission by fatty acyl-coenzyme A is finally out in Nature Cell Biology! This was a great collaboration with the Higgs Lab at Dartmouth College. #mitochondria

Thank you Barth Syndrome Foundation for supporting our research! We will explore how disruptions in cardiolipin structure impact the regulation of mitochondrial function!

Mito symposium @ucla was a success! #mitochondria #cellbiology

So proud of @jonmarkert.bsky.social; can't wait to read it.
