I'm excited to share our new manuscript led by @PatrickForny now online at medRxiv. We integrated >26M molecular measurements to discover multiple new mitochondrial protein regulatory functions. Interactive website coming soon!

Starting the 2026 with excellent news! Congratulations to graduate students Queren Alcantara (@queren_alcca) and James Carrington for receiving the AHA Predoctoral Fellowship! @AHAScience@UofUBiochem@hhmi_science 🔬🧪🌟
I'm excited to present a small method project of mine from @RutterLab! Here we designed a dual-purification system to isolate mitochondrial subpopulations based on their proximity to membranous organelles. All constructs will be available on Addgene soon!

⏰The countdown is on! In just a few days, we will welcome 25 candidates from around the world to our CGA Recruitment Week! To get them - and you - excited, we're giving you an exclusive sneak peek at our programme. 🎥Stay tuned for our full video and more insights coming soon.👀
Just when you thought that everything was known about the regulation of mTORC1 activity and its lysosomal presence, my dear friend @acharyaish comes to shake the field. I'm so proud of you! 💡❤️

@DemetriadesLab
So delighted that my first ever first author paper is now online @MolecularCell ! 🥳
🪔We reveal a mechanism that enables lysosomal mTORC1 to decide: ‘should I stay or should I go?’
Check it out here👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

💥New paper from our group @MolecularCell! 🎃
One-woman show by the amazing Aish Acharya @acharyaish, revealing how active #mTORC1 sets itself free from #lysosomes!

Really awesome to see this one out as a preprint: In the heart, lactate is directly uptaken into mitochondria via MCT1 for its oxidation! 🫀⚡
Congrats @molecularpepsi@joevisker@jn_velascosilva and beyond. So grateful for being part of it.
Check it out! ⬇️
🚨Thrilled to share our new preprint from my postdoc work in the @RutterLab! The latest outcome of our close collaboration with @gsducker and @StavrosDrakos labs, where we uncovered something big: mitochondria directly import lactate as fuel in the heart!

ERC Starting Grant for Mito-FerroQuest – Dr. Soni Deshwal🌟
@ERC_Research has awarded the project Mito-FerroQuest with an #ERC Starting Grant.
🔎What is #Mito-FerroQuest about?
👇Watch the video👇
👉 Dr. Soni Deshwal explains how Mito-FerroQuest is unraveling mitochondrial defense against #CellDeath.
💡 Mitochondria are the central hubs of cellular metabolism, dynamically communicating with other cell compartments to ensure proper function.
With the project Mito-FerroQuest Dr. Soni Deshwal aims to explore and uncover the mitochondrial strategies that prevent #ferroptosis, paving the way for potential therapeutic targets in diseases involving impaired mitochondrial function, such as neurodegenerative disorders and #LeighSyndrome.

🥳🚨Preprint Alert!🚨🥳
Excited to release this #preprint@biorxiv_cellbio led by our postdoc Sri @Sri_chandragiri!! We addressed the question "how #mitochondria adapt to hypoxia" and identified the AFG3L2 protease as a key player! Congratulations Sri🎉😁!

Happy to share that part of my postdoc work is online now. We show that pyruvate metabolism modulates cellular redox balance to regulate size and function cells. @RutterLab@UofUBiochem @HHMINEWS @AHAScience https://t.co/TbKfaejmDE
