We recently reported that promoter competition can contribute to the robust insulation of gene regulatory domains (www.nature.com/articles/s41...).
We now offer a 4-years PhD contract to investigate whether the dirsuption of this regulatory mechanism can lead to congenital defects. More details 👇

Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: “Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cells”.

A tremendous collaborative effort led by JohannaSiehler, Sara Bilekova and other members of the Lickert lab @heikolickert.bsky.social
Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in β cells - Nature Metabolism
The insulin inhibitory receptor (inceptor) is found to bind to insulin and to regulate insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.

1/ 🧬 Single-cell genomics reveals biological variations beyond cell types. Unveiling these in separate latent dim’s is known as disentanglement. Led by @AmirAliMoinfar, we develop DRVI to learn nonlinear, disentangled & interpretable latent spaces.
