Congratulations @Gsabiolab on organizing the @SEBBM_es meeting in this beautiful venue - wonderful meeting showcasing great science and giving opportunities for trainees.
Thank you for invitation @SEBBM_es and congratulations to @Gsabiolab and colleagues for organizing and fantastic science in beautiful Cáceres -
Excelente ponencia de Alexandra Newton sobre la importancia de PKC en la salud y el envejecimiento. Muchas gracias @iubmb #47congresoSEBBM

¿Conoces ya a todos nuestros ponentes de charlas plenarias? En nuestro #47congresosebbm tendremos la oportunidad de disfrutar de la ponencia de nuestra premiada @iubmb Alexandra Newton
First author Celeste Gauron visited our lab on an @iubmb Wood Whelan Fellowship during her PhD studies, Un Mendoza 🇦🇷, to learn about PKC. She returned to do her postdoctoral studies in our lab, which culminated in this collaborative study with @RudyTanzi on PKCeta in Alzheimer’s
Performing a genome-wide analysis of families afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, a team identifies a mutant form of the kinase PKC-eta that’s mislocalized at the Golgi apparatus and starkly disrupts the behavior of cells. @RudyTanzi @NewtonLab @UCSDPharm scim.ag/44oRiD7

The new issue of #ScienceSignaling has arrived! An experimental drug for Parkinson’s disease can reverse the condition’s hallmark effects on neurons in mice, researchers connect a mutant kinase to familial Alzheimer’s disease, and more. scim.ag/40kkbOn

The @NewtonLab and Harvard’s @RudyTanzi and colleagues have found a new target in Alzheimer’s disease: PKCη.

Cell Signaling San Diego is building on the Tsien legacy with the launch this week of one-of-a-kind Biosensor Core directed by Tsien alumnus and engineer of rainbow palette of FPs @NathanShaner! See announcement:

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, born on February 1, 1952. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more!

First met Joan Guinovart at IUBMB conf in 2016. In 2018, he became my forever mentor and friend when he became Past President and I became President Elect of @IUBMB. Always a true scholar, often texting me in Greek, with a great sense of humour, he enriched the lives of so many.
It is with great sadness that we share the news that IUBMB Past President Prof Joan Guinovart @IRBBarcelona passed away today. A brilliant biochemist and educator, his dedication, commitment, and leadership spanning two decades had an enormous impact on the IUBMB mission.

It was always a joy being with you! In picture below Alexandra Newton @NewtonLab , President of @iubmb, myself, Juan Guinovar and Rosa Guinovar. We were so happy in Milano last July 2024, attending the FEBS @FEBSnews Congress. I can not believe I can not be with you in 2025!
