The GSF Lab of @cemm.oeaw.ac.at recently came back from its scientific retreat to Sicily (Palermo and Carini), where we visited the construction site of the #RiMED Foundation (thanks!) research institute. What an impressive space ship! With sea view! 3S: Science. Sun. Sea. Refreshed we continue! 🥼🔬🧪

🚨 Deadline: Dec 10! 🚨 Submit your short talk or scholarship app for Solute Carrier Transporters this April in Beverly, MA. Explore SLC pharmacology, physiology & structure-function mechanisms. 🔗 keysym.us/KSSoluteCTs26 #KSSoluteCTs26 @supertifurgalab.bsky.social #solutecarriertransporters

Are you into genetic modifications and engineering? Meet GSF Lab members @pleippe.bsky.social, Gabriel Onea and Yee Kwan Law in Palermo at the 2025 #RiMED Symposium "Engineering Biology for Next-Gen Medicine" organized by Fondazione #RiMED and @giuliosupertifurga.bsky.social
www.rimedsymposium.eu

Delegation of the GSF lab of @cemm.oeaw.ac.at joining the @meduniwien.ac.at #Krebsforschungslauf 2025. Great fun, great weather, great get-together of Vienna's cancer research community. 🏆💪🏃

🧠 Mutations in the #SLC13A5 gene disrupt citrate transport in neurons, causing severe #epilepsy. In a new study published in Science Advances, CeMM researchers uncover the molecular mechanisms behind this disease.

Big congrats to Sophie Piech from the Giulio Superti-Furga lab (@supertifurgalab.bsky.social) on successfully defending her PhD this week! 🎓 Her thesis: “Chemical modulation of CUL3LZTR1-mediated proteostatic RAS regulation.” Well done! 👏🎉 #PhDLife #PhDhat

Paper(s) alert from our RESOLUTE project – In a compilation of four papers in @molsystbiol.org 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! 🌟 Hosted by @giuliosupertifurga.bsky.social, David Drew, and Kathleen M. Giacomini. Save the date—https://keysym.us/KSSoluteCTs26 #KSSoluteCTs26 #solutecarriertransporters

The @supertifurgalab.bsky.social studies #MembraneTransporters & their roles in metabolism, drug transport & signaling. In this #EquationsForLife story, they use the #NernstEquation to understand the electrochemical forces involved in membrane transport.

Somewhat freezing and windy, but fun to take part with two teams of GSFies in the Vienna City Relay Marathon 2025, together with more CeMMies (17 Teams) and colleagues of St. Anna CCRI.🎖️🏆#VCM2025 #ViennaMarathon

In a REsolution collaboration (part of RESOLUTE) we characterized 21 variants of hSLC39A8 (ZIP8), a key metal transporter. Our study reveals diverse impacts on localization, ion uptake & stability—shedding light on disease mechanisms. www.life-science-alliance.org/content/8/4/...

Celebrating Science with style at the Vienna Ball of Sciences @sciball.bsky.social at its 10th anniversary. The GSF Lab of CeMM beautifully dressed in the beautiful Vienna City Hall.

Kicking off the new year: A collaboration between @giuliosupertifurga.bsky.social and @alessiociulli.bsky.social using a transporter-focused genetic screens revealed that the efflux pump ABCC1/MRP1 restricts PROTAC sensitivity in cancer cells. Out now in @CellChemBiol www.cell.com/cell-chemica...

Happy New Year from the Giulio Superti-Furga Lab. (And Merry (late) Christmas!) This year we send greetings from our Karaoke evening - with poems and Secret Santa. To successful science in 2025!

Our new study on "Ex vivo imaging-based high content phenotyping of patients with rheumatoid arthritis" is out in eBioMedicine. Great work by PhD student and MD Felix Kartnig in collaboration with Leo Heinz and the Rheumatology Department at the MedUni Vienna. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

PhD student @AndreFerdigg and colleagues report in @LSAjournal on #SLC transporters in metal toxicity. MRP1/ABCC1 protects against arsenic and mercury; SLC39A14 and SLC30A1 sensitize for cadmium; interestingly SLC30A1 modulates cadmium toxicity through zinc levels doi.org/10.26508/lsa...
