New preprint! Very excited for this collaboration with Dr. Moroz to be out. Shout out to the nine Emmanuel College undergrad students, especially Aiden McCarty. We dedicate this work to the memory of our beloved T. Keith Blackwell. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m excited to share this paper from Dr. Kimitaka Shibue in Dr. Rohit Kulkarni’s lab at the Joslin Diabetes Center @harvardmed.bsky.social, where they found that secretory machinery proteins modulate the ER unfolded protein response. Read more about it here for free: www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Early in May, and too early in his life, my dear mentor Prof. Keith Blackwell passed unexpectedly. Please join us in celebrating Keith’s scientific achievements & legacy with my colleagues at the Joslin & Prof. Gary Ruvkun, a close & long-lasting colleague. #scientificlegacy #skn1 #aging #metabolism

Last month I had the great privilege of presenting my work in this Lecture Hall at the Joslin Diabetes Center for the last time. The research labs at Joslin are moving to the Center for Life Science building. Looking forward to new memories in Joslin’s new home… pics to come.
