The final version of our #bioorthogonal #lipidtime method for imaging rapid inter-organelle transport of fluorescent phospholipid analogs is now published — congrats to Lin Luan (Lin_Luan), Dongjun Liang, Dylan Chiu, & Reika Tei! doi.org/10.1021/acsche…

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining Caltech Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering as an Assistant Professor in Summer 2025! The Morstein Lab will develop chemical tools to study, target, and reprogram the human lipidome. (1/3) morsteinlab.caltech.edu

Great day for the lab at the Weill Institute for Cell & Molecular Biology retreat on Seneca Lake! New lab pictures, super #lipidtime flash talks from Nathan and Brian, and looking forward to talks tomorrow from Dylan and our special guest, #proudofalumni Reika Tei!

Guess who’s getting serious about chemistry safety? Denver’s Big Blue Bear! 🐻🧪🥽 #ACSFall2024

In the DBC Young Investigator Award session happening on Tuesday morning, I'm talking about my PhD & postdoc works (membrane editors and synthetic receptors) along with rising star chemical biologists #ACSFall2024

"Lipids on the move": Thank you to Nature Chemical Biology for highlighting our latest #lipidtime work using #bioorthogonal chemistry to image rapid, inter-organelle lipid transport, by Lin Luan, Dongjun Liang, and Reika Tei in #ACSChemBio! nature.com/articles/s4158… pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The White-Mathieu lab is hiring! We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher that has a background in organic synthesis and cell culture and has a strong interest in mentoring students. Check out this link to apply: jobs.usnh.edu/postings/62849

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Excited to share this (my first single-authored) #lipidtime minireview!🎉 I’ve synthesized all the insights from >5 years of experiments (including some unpublished work) to explore the dynamic regulatory network of phosphatidic acid (PA) metabolism ✅🔗👇 doi.org/10.1042/BST202…

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from transgene expression and real-time

This is one of the most amazing technologies I've seen--when I saw the bioRxiv paper I thought: "Wow why didn't I think of that?!"

Hear from PAGER’s co-creators, Nick Kalogriopoulos and Reika Tei in this Stanford news story from Taylor Kubota: Tool that enhances control of cellular activity could expand biological and medical frontiers news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/1…

🚨 Funded postdoc opportunities in the U.S. and Japan—spend time abroad! 🚨 The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network and the Stellar Science Foundation are inviting postdoctoral fellows to apply for the new Global Science Scholars fellowship! This 2-yr fellowship supports your next

This looks like a great opportunity to work in one of the amazing research labs in Japan! The US → Japan postdoc stipend is more than double the average postdoc salary there :0

So grateful to have been part of the 2025 Catalyst Symposium! Inspired by the work of the Catalyst fellows and the vibrant scientific community at MIT Biology. Thank you for the energizing discussions and a fantastic program, including a tour of the jellyfish facility! 😍

I had such an inspiring, enriching, and energizing time at this symposium! I’m really grateful to MIT Biology for hosting this wonderful event, to the faculty members for their tremendous support, and to all the other Catalyst fellows for coming together to make this so special!
