Congratulations Olga Boudker of Weill Cornell Medicine, newly inducted #NASmember! #NAS160 #biophysics #biology


Last night's lab watch party to see Olga Boudker signing the National Academy of Sciences Registry of Membership - we're so proud 🥹 #NAS160



Very excited to share our latest collaborative work with Filippo Mancia and Rosemary Cater, PhD on MFSD2A lysolipid transporter! Using simulations and machine-learning we uncover how substrate binding to MFSD2A mechanistically triggers the protein occlusion. rdcu.be/dd6Zl

Check out our latest work on blood brain barrier #Omega3 transporter MFSD2A! 🐟➡️🧠 Nature Communications This work led by George Khelashvili reveals how substrate enters, occlusion occurs, and the role sodium plays in this!

This project has been a dream since grad school. Exciting to see it come to fruition! Zhi and Melanie Odenkirk did amazing work, and the data is super cool! They were able to measure lipid binding affinities of natural lipids in bilayers on a lipidomic scale. Check it out:
