Yesterday, we kicked off the first iteration of the @keystonesymposia.bsky.social on Solute Carriers in beautiful Beverly, MA. Cohosting with David Drew and Kathleen Giacomini, a great pleasure to bring together international and interdisciplinal researchers to shed light on SLCs from all angles.
The lab of @giuliosupertifurga.bsky.social had a great evening at this year's Vienna Ball of Sciences #sciball26 at the Vienna Town Hall. 💃🕺🩰 Thank you @sciball.bsky.social and @cemm.oeaw.ac.at for a wonderful evening.
CeMM was well represented at the 11th Vienna Ball of Sciences with its current members, and many former CeMMies. We had fun, we danced, we laughed, we met people we had missed, we made new contacts. Thank you again, Oliver Lehmann and team! #SciBall26 Pictures at https://bit.ly/3NNxH9w
Short Talk Abstract Deadline extended to: December 23, 2025. Submit and Join the #SLC #Transporters @KeystoneSymp in April 13-16, 2026, in Beverly, MA, United States! keysym.us/KSSoluteCTs26 #KSSoluteCTs26
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. 🏆💪🏃
👏 Shout out to our CeMM team who ran the 19th #Krebsforschungslauf at the Altes AKH Campus today! 🏃♀️🏃 Together they completed 205 rounds (~330 kms), supporting @meduniwien.ac.at’s #CancerResearch projects. Huge thanks to our runners for their energy & dedication! 💙 #wirlaufenweiter
🧠 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. ➡️ Info: bit.ly/3T4u12N 🔗Study: bit.ly/3HRy8wR
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. 🔎 tinyurl.com/CeMMRR2024-G...
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...
