@criminographer So true. I mourn my old carefree oblivious self every day. I wish we hadn’t seen behind the curtain. Always with us in our hearts your two, never far. xx
🎉 Congratulations to @umeshchopra17 in my lab for receiving an @EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship to tackle some exciting science in collaboration with @avi_cmbi!
Intriguing functions for GBP5, ascribing it a broad immunoregulatory role during inflammation. 💥 Thanks to all collaborators and our funding sources! 🙏
Hot off the biorxiv press! 🔥 @SamuelLaraR finds GBP5 enhances macrophage glycolysis via glucose uptake, GTPase activity dependent and as being cis-Golgi localised. Bonus finding, GBP5 is important for full M1 macrophage functionality.

Excited to start my postdoc research in Dr. Eva Frickel’s lab @FrickelLab, @MIMOL_UNIGE ! jumping into the world of innate immunity. Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and doing some cool science! 🔬✨
Reminder: new #InflammaZoom free Webinar is today at 2 pm BST with James Murphy @pseudokinase from WEHI and Jonathan Maelfait from VIB Ghent. Register via Abcam link below. See you soon!
Check out this new paper by @avi_cmbi lab - GBP1 can detect extracellular bacteria from the inside of cells! 😎 LPS solubilisation, Toxoplasma vacuole disruption and now immunity through actin binding - what a superpower protein! 😬 Happy to have supported this project!
📢A new effector-triggered immunity role for GBP1! No place for pathogens to hide now that GBP1 can detect extracellular pathogens that hijack the actin cytoskeleton. Surprise*suprise* GBP1 does this independently of LPS! 🧵
