We have a new review from Rajendra Angara, Margaret Sladek & Stacey Gilk @sdgilk (UNMC) about how intracellular pathogens parasitise the interface between lipid droplets and the ER
https://t.co/uNINPn6NqR
Their focus is on the differing strategies of SARS-CoV-2 and Coxiella

[EMBO Reports @emboreports]

The December issue is online:

https://t.co/b5mUFdXwNl

The cover features work by Stacey Gilk @sdgilk @UNMCCOM identifying a novel #bacterial effector protein that mediates ER-LD #membrane contacts to regulate host #lipiddroplets.

Our work featured on the cover of EMBO Reports 🎊🔬

[Dr. Stacey Gilk @sdgilk]

Congrats to Gilk Lab postdoc Ragendra Angara, for receiving the UNMC Postdoctoral Excellence in Research Award! Check out his beautiful story on a secreted bacterial protein which forms ER-lipid droplet contact sites, recently published in EMBO Reports. https://t.co/yqRzwFWa1T

[Rajendra Angara Ph.D. @Rajangara]

Honored to be the recipient of UNMC Postdoctoral Excellence in Research Award.
Huge thanks to my incredible mentor @sdgilk for her unwavering support and guidance. This wouldn’t have been possible without you 🙏
