Dillin lab Gelato Happy Hour to welcome rotation student Mars Torres from the Helen Wills Neuroscience Graduate Program!

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

The Dillin lab welcomes graduate student Weijing Tang from the MCB program!

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

Congratulations to Koning Shen, PhD for her outstanding post-doc award from the MCB department!!!

We find that the mtUPR also increases import that may help all these great proteins get in and save the organelle. This increased mitochondrial import is also essential for lifespan extension. If you are curious about mitochondria and longevity - this paper is for you!

Decreased mitochondrial import from stress activates mtUPR, but then how do all those mitochondrial-saving expressed genes get back in? (1/2)

Congratulations to @holly_gildea for closing out the Thesis Research Presentations with an amazing talk! Dr Gildea, we are so proud! #micdrop #PhDone

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

Sent in our order and excited to get strains from @SunyBiotech. Makes genome editing a breeze, like this cool endogenously-tagged mCherry strain!!

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

Hats off to @philfrankino for a SKN-tillating Thesis Research Presentation! He's officially Dr Phil now - congratulations! #PhDone

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

Congratulations to @mellymetcalf for a successful Thesis Research Presentation! The Dr is in! #WomenInSTEM #PhDone

@barton_lab @berkeleyMCB Thanks, Greg! Andy is honored to have received this award with long time friend and colleague, Anne! @BrunetLab

[UC Berkeley MCB @berkeleyMCB]

Congrats to MCB's Andy Dillin @dillinlab on the 2022 Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences! 👏

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

Huge congratulations to @tayladhunter on a well deserved Goldwater Scholarship! Tayla did a fantastic job in our lab this past summer working with @holly_gildea. Any MD/PhD program would be lucky to have her!

[Holly Gildea @holly_gildea]

Congratulations to @tayladhunter who has been awarded the Goldwater Scholarship! The Goldwater honors outstanding undergrads pursuing research science. If you're recruiting for MD/PhD programs, take note!! Big things coming her way 🎉🥳

[Cate Ward, PhD, RD @catepward]

Excited to share our new paper! We found that aged mice exhibited an exaggerated UPRER signature - lipid and protein synthesis overall were more suppressed, however, canonical UPRER proteins were translated at higher rates in aged mice under ER stress.

Hi Twitter! The Dillin lab is hiring a senior mouse technician to manage our mouse colony and assist with experiments in our studies of aging and stress response. Feel free to share this with anyone who you may think is interested! https://t.co/e4wsznfa9b

And another preprint from @dillinlab @philfrankino @holly_gildea showing that overexpression of hsf-1 in only the 4 glial cells of #Celegans is enough to induce a heat shock response and longevity 9/7 https://t.co/iFviCiyWkO

[Dillin Lab @dillinlab]

Another preprint from our lab is up now. In this one, @philfrankino et al. found and characterized a role for SKN-1 as a surveillance factor. Turns out it can monitor and respond to genetic perturbation of amino acid catabolism pathways and alter multiple stress resistances!

[bioRxiv @biorxivpreprint]

SKN-1 is a metabolic surveillance factor that monitors amino acid catabolism to control stress resistance https://t.co/o6kqjoKwt4 #bioRxiv
