A few weeks ago, on April 24th, I successfully defended my PhD in @jourdainlab.bsky.social at the @dib-unil.bsky.social! I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and made it such a special day. A huge thank you to my thesis committee for their guidance and advice throughout the PhD!

Check ⬇️ the latest paper from the @jourdainlab.bsky.social ab on glutamine addiction! Congratulation to @miriamlisci.bsky.social and all co-authors for the amazing work🥳

Functional nutrient-genetic profiling reveals biotin and FBXW7 are essential to bypass glutamine addiction

Lisci et al. present a unified model revealing how cells escape glutamine addiction, a metabolic vulnerability of several cancers. Combining systematic genetic and nutrient screens, they show that bio...

Celebrating the New Year in style! Best wishes from the Jourdain Lab 🥌🫕🇨🇭

Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉 We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), and @gavsturm.bsky.social et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024...). Details below! 🔬🧵🧪
