#ProudPI
Another #proudPI day at #ASHG2026. Today I will present on behalf of our former analyst, Katherine Taylor, currently a graduate student at Washington University. I will be presenting how we leverage our largest single variant rare variant T2D meta-analysis to incorporate rare variants into PRS.

Thanks Suayb for taking track, he did it really well 😊 #proudPI
We conclude the session @plantproteostasis.bsky.social on a high note with David Görg (he just finished his PhD recently) from @cnaumann123.bsky.social lab: He is talking about Pi-dependent ER stress adaptaton by a novel autophagy component ♻️ #proteostasis

I am so proud of this work spearheaded by @lilymcknight.bsky.social!

In this ~4-year effort, we reveal that the presence of GpsB is crucial for cell wall stress response and antibiotic resistance (via Stk/PknB and VraSR) in S. aureus.

See the thread below for more info!

We have written a review on MADS-box genes expression in developing floral organs, which has been under-explored as compared to their early role to specify floral organ identity.

Congrats to Emma Désert for her first review article as a PhD student! #proudPI @rdplab.bsky.social
🌸 FLOWERING NEWSLETTER REVIEW 🌸

MADS-box transcription factors specify floral organ identity at the primordia stage, but also have late and spatially restricted roles in developing or mature floral organs, which Désert et al. explore in this review 🧬

Peroxisomes continued - this time by @darladr.bsky.social, absolutely brilliant PhD student in my lab. Darla and @kucharowski.bsky.social are masters in pupal brain imaging, which allows us to investigate organelle dynamics in neurons of the remodeling fly brain.

It’s thesis read-through day! There are pros and cons to the thesis vs portfolio approach, but there’s something really incredible about getting to read either cover to cover as a single piece of scholarship from someone 🤓😭🤓🧪✨

Today, I am extremely proud of my PhD student @itziarburgues.bsky.social as she is sending out the invitation to her PhD defense at @ub.edu (Barcelona, 🇪🇸). It was great pleasure and an honour to supervise her over the last 2 years, but now it is time to kick her out of the nest 🥚🐣🐤. #ProudPI

💚 Congrats to the lab on winning this year's #LMS #Greening competition!

💚 Thanks to everyone in the group for engaging with this initiative, particularly lab manager Andrea for leading our efforts, and postdoc Nsikan for collecting our prizes!
🌱🌵🌿

#ProudPI #Sustainability
We just wrapped up our annual Greening Competition 🌱 where teams compete to make their labs more sustainable.

It ended in a tie! Congratulations to the Redox Metabolism Group and Bioinformatics and Genomics Groups, our joint Sustainability Champions.

Thank you to all our groups who took part!

Peroxisomes rock - and Nicole Kucharowski rocks OEPM 2026 in Leuven!

At the biannual Open European Peroxisome Meeting in Leuven, Belgium, Nicole presented our latest research on the interaction between peroxisomes and the Golgi apparatus.

Please join me in congratulating Dr. @jiaxuwu.bsky.social on successfully defending his PhD! 🎓👏

It was not an easy journey. There was stress, uncertainty, and more than one moment when we did not know whether the PhD would come together as we had hoped. But we made it! 💪🌿

Next in the „biotic session“ at #BT2026 is our very own @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social who will talk about how bacteria manipulate host translation in 🌱 His findings helped us to develop many different projects on P-bodies, condensates and translation #ProudPI 🥳

@devinseka.bsky.social has been an amazing first member of the Gupta lab and has moved projects forward better than I imagined.

A well-deserved milestone. 👏 👏 Congratulations, Devin! 🎉🎉

Thank you NIH/NIGMS and OHSU @ohsunews.bsky.social!
Excited to share that I've been awarded the NIH F32 for my research in the Gupta Lab at OHSU! 🎉

Peroxisomes help the cell by detoxifying stressful chemicals and I want to know how they are built.

Huge thanks to my PI @meghnag27.bsky.social, and @nkhandelwal.bsky.social for all the support.
