I'm ultra excited about our preprints on mitochondrial pearling! In two concurrent collaborative studies with Wallace Marshall, we investigated its consequences on mtDNA nucleoids (led by Juan Cruz Landoni ) and its biophysical causes (led by @gavsturm). Funders HFSP, ERC, SNSF

Mitochondria- and ER-associated actin are required for mitochondrial fusion nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our paper with priya g Marc Germain Julien C and Cara Schiavon is now out in its final form!

Burnette lab lunch celebrating a paper getting accepted (Zachary Sanchez), a grant submitted (Emma Koory), and a new rotation student (Grace)! #CellBiology

Happy #microscopymonday! I made a new amoeba mosaic this weekend out of actin polymer-stained amoebae

I am excited to finally be able to share with you our work reporting the first Extracellular Vesicle with a personality! This video does not show a cell, it is a Blebbisome! #CellBiology nature.com/articles/s4155…

Happy #FluorescenceFriday ! Today is an exciting day because I can finally share data from my thesis work. Below is a gif of a blebbisome, a new large extracellular vesicle that I describe and characterize in collaboration with the Coffey Lab. nature.com/articles/s4155…

"Blebbisomes are large, organelle-rich extracellular vesicles with cell-like properties" and are made by multiple cell types. This video shows fibroblasts (green arrows) and fibroblast-derived blebbisomes (magenta-arrowhead). Read about blebbisomes here: nature.com/articles/s4155…

So excited to share that my artwork and story got chosen for the cover of the journal! Check out our story on blebbisomes nature.com/articles/s4155…

Dr. Sanchez? Yep! Congratulations Zachary Sanchez! #CellBiology

It’s a little late, but as of last Monday, I am now officially Dr. Sanchez. So incredibly grateful for the training and mentorship that I received in the Burnette lab under Dylan Burnette! Can’t wait to change research paths a little bit and start studying Toxoplasma with Sebastian Lourido

Our latest study on using microtubules as rulers for expansion microscopy has been accepted! Grateful to all the authors & collaborators who made this possible. Excited to share that this marks my first 'last-author' paper 😊 nature.com/articles/s4200… Felipe Opazo Silvio Rizzoli

The brain is full of mitochondria! But how many, and where? Different types of mitochondria specialize for energy transformation and other functions In MitoBrainMap v1.0 we provide the first maps of mitochondrial content and OxPhos capacity across the human brain

Fun with worms on WIRED wired.com/story/openworm… We've been thinking about how #celegans can revolutionize science again, together with Kording Lab 🦖 Ed Boyden and many other (also find our preprint on arXiv.org )

🪰By infusing a virtual fruit fly with #AI, Janelia & Google DeepMind scientists created a computerized insect that can walk & fly just like the real thing➡️ hhmi.news/3Rwop0w 🤖Read more about this work, first published in a #preprint in 2024➡️ hhmi.news/4cGAVUW

Officially graduated! So excited to start my next chapter in Boston with my amazing fiancé! Looking forward to finally getting into parasitology. Also wanna celebrate #FluorescenceFriday with my fav image from this past year

Preprint: IntAct-U-ExM enables robust, isoform-specific expansion microscopy of actin networks in yeast and mammalian cells. A cool study led by Anubhav Dhar in collab with Sudarshan Gadadhar Deepak Nair #actin biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
