Congrats to Sam on his new paper accepted at Biophysical Journal titled “Roles for PKC signaling in chromaffin cell exocytosis.” Nicole also just received good news on her paper to be published in Biochemical Society Transactions titled “Cellular mechanisms underlying PACAP-stimulated secretion in the adrenal medulla.”
Congratulations to Breanna Coffman for being named an NIH T32 G-RISE recipient. This award will support her for 3 yrs of her Ph.D. training.
Breanna’s and Sam’s first co-first author publication is now accepted at the Journal of Neuroendocrinology. The article is entitled: PLC-epsilon defines a pathway for PACAP-stimulated secretion in chromaffin cells.
We are organizing a new biannual Membrane Fusion and Budding Conference. The first such conference will take place in Estes Park, CO this September. Details on the conference can be found here:
Congratulations to Breanna who will begin a PhD in Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders at UToledo this August!

After a great 4 years in the lab, Noah is moving on to the M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Michigan! Congratulations and best wishes for continued success Noah!
Congratulations to Kate and Emily! Their contribution — entitled, “Integrating Optical and Electrochemical Approaches to Assess Actions of Dynamin at the Fusion Pore” — is now In Press at Methods in Molecular Biology!
Alina’s paper entitled: “Synaptotagmin-7 enhances calcium-sensing of chromaffin cell granules and slows discharge of granule cargos” has been accepted at Journal of Neurochemistry. Congratulations Alina, Mounir, and everyone else!
After 42 years at the University of Michigan, Dr. Ronald W. Holz will begin the process of phased retirement later this year. To honor his intellectual contributions to the university and to celebrate the many other ways in which he has influenced and inspired us, we are holding a symposium on May 31, 2019, organized around the themes of synaptic communication and exocytosis. The symposium will feature several notable speakers including Manfred Lindau (Cornell; Max-Planck Institute), Stephen Smith (Allen Brain Institute), Thomas Martin (University of Wisconsin), Daniel Axelrod (University of Michigan), Alan Finkelstein (Albert Einstein School of Medicine), and Joshua Zimmerberg (NIH).
