Focus of the day were metabolism, cellular homeostasis and the CNS, with one particular transporter as the star of the show: NHE6/SLC9A6 made its way into 3 presentations - all from different perspectives.
Yesterday, we kicked off the first iteration of the @KeystoneSymp on Solute Carriers in beautiful Beverly. Cohosting with David Drew and Kathleen Giacomini, a great pleasure to bring together international and interdisciplinal researchers to shed light on SLCs from all angles.
And the GSF Lab waltzed along again this year at the Vienna Ball of Sciences #SciBall26. ๐๐บ๐๐บThank you for a great evening at the Vienna Town Hall.
CeMM was well represented at the 11th Vienna Ball of Sciences with its current members, and many former CeMMies. We had fun, we danced, we laughed, we met people we had missed, we made new contacts. Thank you again, Oliver Lehmann! #SciBall26 Pictures at https://t.co/kz6ykfJkNN
๐๐๐Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the @giuliosf lab @CeMM_News. Greetings from the Schรถnbrunn castle and Christmas market, Vienna ๐๐๐
Short Talk Abstract Deadline extended to: December 23, 2025. Submit and Join the #SLC#Transporters@KeystoneSymp in April 13-16, 2026, in Beverly, MA, United States! https://t.co/ZsqJEmjR2F #KSSoluteCTs26
New preprint alert! Our latest work dives into the genetic mechanisms that control KRAS protein abundance, revealing how the CRL3-LZTR1 E3 ligase complex regulates this frequently mutated oncogene. https://t.co/4dWwN6mkzW
The GSF Lab of @CeMM_News recently came back from its scientific retreat to Sicily, where we visited the construction site of the #RiMED Foundation research institute. What an impressive space ship! With sea view! Refreshed we continue! ๐ฅผ๐งช๐งซ

Congratulations to Sophie Piech from the group of CeMM Scientific Director Giulio Superti-Furga (@gsf_lab), who has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled "Chemical modulation of CUL3LZTR1-mediated proteostatic RAS regulation." Well done!! ๐ ๐ ๐ #phdlife#phdhat
Paper(s) alert from our @RESOLUTE_IMI project โ In a compilation of four papers in Molecular Systems Biology we show how we were deciphering cellular logistics and present a comprehensive systematic blueprint of chemical transport pathways with #SoluteCarrier transporters
Join us for groundbreaking science at the Keystone Symposium on Solute Carrier Transporters this April 2026 in Beverly, MA, USA! ๐ Hosted by @giuliosf, David Drew, and Kathleen M. Giacomini. Save the dateโhttps://t.co/3UTFJQ4F6a #KSSoluteCTs26#solutecarriertransporters
The @gsf_lab at CeMM studies #MembraneTransporters & their roles in metabolism, drug transport & signaling. In this #EquationsForLife story, they use the #NernstEquation to better understand the electrochemical forces involved in membrane transport.

17 CeMM Teams = 68 CeMMies and Adjunct members participated at the Vienna City Relay Marathon 2025 @Vienna_Marathon, and reached 717,4 km in total. Congrats also to our friends from @StAnna_CCRI! ๐ photo gallery: https://t.co/MNtnA7zCYB #VCM#ViennaCityMarathon#TogetherWeRun
Collaborating within @RESOLUTE_IMI and REsolution we characterized 21 variants of hSLC39A8 (ZIP8), a metal transporter. Revealing diverse impacts on localization, ion uptake & stabilityโshedding light on disease mechanisms. https://t.co/vNmi8Em5NH
Within @RESOLUTE_IMI and REsolution the @gsf_lab at @CeMM_News studied variants of the human SLC39A8 (ZIP8) metal transporter better understanding links to diseases involving disrupted metal ion homeostasis https://t.co/Nnt9C34nlp
