Newton Lab

Thank you for the birthday 🎂 and singing and other joyful shenanigans Newton Lab! Here’s to many more years of trying to understand #PKC

Happy Holidays from our lab to yours. Lab photo after @UCSDPharm holiday party.

Looking forward to working with this great @iubmb team of passionate biochemists spanning continents. Here we are after General Assembly at IUBMB Congress #BMH2024 in beautiful Melbourne.

It's a small world! Connected with @iubmb_trainee leadership team member Sana Ahmed at @ProteinSociety #PS38 in beautiful Vancouver, only to find out she is grad student in the lab of @cryoem_UBC with whom I was in grad school in @Stanford Chemistry in the 1980s...

What’s more fun than a #PKC assay with 32P and high value P81 paper? Teaching @UCSDBMS Tiffany Kao and summer undergrad Ivo Nakefski (whose dad Eric Nalefski was a postdoc 25 years ago and did beautiful work on membrane binding kinetics of PKC).

The #knowyouraminoacids 🧩 is a huge hit at the @iubmb booth at meetings - here is photo from FEBS Congress in Milan last month #FEBS2024

After 5 years of working with @biochem_bri to engage biochemistry students around the world, finally had the pleasure of showing her our lab. Bri was the first @iubmb student ambassador, then inaugural member of the @iubmb_trainee, and is now the IUBMB Ambassador for Trainees.

Congrats @UCSDBMS @UCSDPharm grad student Stefanie Hodapp on her work showing that cancer-associated mutations in PKC theta are loss of function, regardless of whether they disrupt or enhance auto inhibition - with @Kannanlab - in @Biochem_Journal portlandpress.com/biochemj/a…

Thoroughly enjoyed hosting @dixitvishva for the 4th Annual Roger Tsien Cell Signaling San Diego Distinguished Lecture - stay tuned for @CellSignalingSD Jan Newsletter for more photos and stories - Thank you @bmsnews for generous support of event.

Celeste came to our lab on an @IUBMB Wood Whelan Fellowship to learn to image PKC during her PhD work in Mendoza, 🇦🇷. A few years later we welcomed her for a postdoc where she worked on PKC in Alzheimer’s Disease. We wish her the best on her next adventure in Belgium!
