We're hiring! The Department of Biological Chemistry at UCI is seeking a tenure-track Assistant Professor! This is a broad search across biomedical sciences, including genome stability. Join a dynamic department with excellent research resources, great faculty benefits, and year-round sunshine!

The newly established Department of Systems Biology (systems.bio.uci.edu) @UCIrvine is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Systems Biology. Great science, incredible faculty support, and beautiful, sunny SoCal weather! ☀️🌴 Details: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10377. Please share.

Not a cult

DSK lab strongly represented at #GLAM2026

Just reminding our #vision researchers here to check the list (slightly outdated). Enjoy! go.bsky.app/3EWSGiv

I did ask @nobelprize.org to join the friendly neighborhood of @bsky.app, and I'm glad they have. But perhaps I should have had a haircut and trimmed my beard for this segment.

Citations are the foundation of scientific recognition and an important way to acknowledge the work that moves a field forward. I was recently disappointed to see our work overlooked in a published review. This made me think about how important it is to recognize original contributions...

☕Nguyen et al. show that accumulation of dimethylarginine in lysosomes in disease models is associated with lipotoxicity and lipid droplet abundance. 👉https://rdcu.be/fvKac www.nature.com/articles/s41...

our collaborative work is on the cover of NCB! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #lysosomes #lipidmetabolism #methylatedarginine

Fantastic collaboration with @albrechtlab.bsky.social ! Lysosomes as hubs to regulate cellular lipidome. #lysosomes #lipids

Fascinating study showing how lysosomes impact cellular metabolism of lipids. It was our pleasure to collaborate with @albrechtlab.bsky.social . More to come soon! #lysosomes #lipids

🚨🧪🧵URGENT INPUT NEEDED: NIH asks input for next strategic plan-including emphasis on non-animal models (NAMs) to replace animals. Per NIH insider, anti-animal responses now outnumber scientists 200-700x. Please please provide input. Deadline: May 26, 11:59 PM ET. grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

Amazing #ARVO2026 Had a chance moderating two fantastic sessions #aging #lipids and #agerelatedvisionloss on the rise!!

AGING EYE session is TODAY! #ARVO2026 #agingeye 3:15PM in Mile High 1A. See you there!! #aging #vision

And why is that?? copied from @phd_pdf_scholarship (Facebook)

American science is shrinking. 
A Post analysis found that, halfway through this fiscal year, the number of competitive grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health is down by more than half compared with the same period last year. https://wapo.st/3OgoHKV

I am looking forward! Thank you for inviting me to talk! #aging #eye #molecularneurodegeneration

📢Today's the last to vote for #UCIrvine! Get your votes in by tonight at 1 a.m. PT: trib.al/1yoBby1 #STATMadness

I cannot believe we got so far!!! Help us to pass to the next round. Thank you!!!! 💙💙💙

Thank you @zmikulski.bsky.social ! I cannot believe we are so high in this contest. I hope our Polish friends vote for us!!! Thank you in advance!

I cannot believe we got so far!!! Help us to pass to the next round. Thank you!!!! 💙💙💙

👋👋👋👋 We are in STAT Madness (if you know March Madness - it's roughly the same but with research). We went through 3 rounds and we need your help now!!!! Vote. Register (simple!!!) and vote. Support our lab! Make us visible! Thank you 🥰 #aging #eye #AMD #glaucoma 🥰 www.statnews.com/feature/stat...

We’re in the game. Our #UCIMedSchool research led by @drdorotask.bsky.social have reached the semifinals in this year’s #STATMadness. Vote for UC Irvine and keep voting until this round ends on Monday, March 23, at 1 a.m. PT. Vote today! trib.al/1yoBby1 @ucirvine.bsky.social

We are now in Round 2 - vote for us! #STATMadness #aging #therapy

Amazing work from Edwards lab! As usual, mesmerizing images and thoughtful analysis. Congrats! And - this is the first post by @edwardsmalia.bsky.social !!! Welcome to Bluesky!

In my lab's latest paper, just out in IOVS, D. Scott McLeod beautifully illustrated the choroidal pathology in a donor with multi-focal GA. I am grateful to Christine Curcio and K. Bailey Freund for allowing us to study these eyes and to all other co-authors. iovs.arvojournals.org/Article.aspx...

Vote for #UCIrvine, led by @drdorotask.bsky.social in the Department of Physiology & Biophysics at #UCIMedSchool. Let's go! #STATMadness

Just a quick clarification: everyone gets 5 votes per round (not per day!) — which makes a lot more sense 😄 Vote for us! We’re competing with a project studying how lipid supplementation may improve aging vision. More results soon, thanks for your support! #aging #AMD #vision #WomeninScience

Amazing work from @albrechtlab.bsky.social ! To paraphrase recent title from one of the CNS journals: Subcellular Localization as a Driver of Cellular Metabolic State. Congratulations to the team! @ucirvine.bsky.social @ucirvinemedschool.bsky.social

Do you see yourself in this picture? I do... Copied from Lean In FB account.

Congrats!! Great achievement!

What a gorgeous work! And cover! Congrats!

Thank you @ucirvinemedschool.bsky.social for highlighting our work! #aging #vision #GreenlandShark

The very, very long-lived Greenland sharks were long thought to be practically blind. But a new study finds that they not only can see but also maintain their vision into old age

Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
