A new study from CSHL’s Furukawa lab (@Lab_FURUKAWA) identifies the neurological ‘doorstops’ that keep the brain’s NMDA receptors fully or partially open. The findings could have implications for treating strokes and neurodegenerative conditions like #Alzheimers disease.

Many thanks!

Nobel Winner: Colleges Teach Critical Thinkers. That’s Why We’re Being Targeted.

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania! Our lab will be relocating to the Department of Pharmacology in Jan ’26. We’re hiring at all levels—reach out if you’re interested! @Penn @PennMedicine

It’s almost October! I will participate in inktober challenge again. One protein drawing a day for 31 days. I would LOVE your suggestions! Check out the prompt list and nominate a pdb of a protein for me to draw that could be a good fit for any of these prompts. Wish me luck!

Congratulations, Yifan, for the Anatrace Award! Yifan’s work on the TRPV1 structure with David Julius helped launch the Resolution Revolution in cryo-EM. Not just in membrane proteins—hardly any area of biophysics today has remained untouched by the techniques Yifan pioneered.

Congratulations, Nuria! For many years, Nuria ran the Biochemistry and Biophysics of Membranes study section at NIH. She trained generations of reviewers and taught many of us how to write a better grant.

Our department at Weill Cornell is hiring a junior faculty member in the broad field of fundamental biomedical science. Please spread the word. Job ad here:

We want you! Join the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology @MoCel_Geneva at the University of Geneva @unige_en @UNIGEnews @sciences_UNIGE and become our new colleague! Assistant (tenure-track) Professor or Associate Professor! Please RT - thanks https://t.co/mQzmG00cxA
