Excited to share this paper. We found a potentially new role for Vorinostat in regulating Palmitoylation & found Vorinostat restored SQSTM1/p62 palmitoylation in the brains of an Huntington Disease mouse model. This project was driven by 2 MSc's @jesuisyasmeena.bsky.social & Fatima Abrar!

Sequestering sequestosome 1 via S-acylation in autophagy, Huntington disease, and beyond Protein mislocalization and aggregation are hallmark features in neurodegeneration. As proteins mislocalize, proteostasis deficiency and protein aggregation typically follow. Autophagy is a crucial...

We were asked Autophagy Reports to summarize our work on S-acylation of SQSTM1/p62 in autophagy & Huntington Disease.

Thank you to everyone who donated and/or came to the Walk to End ALS today! I think it was a very successful event. Special thanks to my lab members who helped make shirts, volunteered at the walk, & walked the walk! You're amazing!

I successfully defended my Master’s thesis at the University of Waterloo!

This journey has been incredibly rewarding. A huge thank you to my supervisor @drddom.bsky.social for his mentorship. It’s been a privilege being part of the NeurdyPhagy team!

I’m now seeking new opportunitiesβ€”let’s connect!

The NeurdyPhagy Lab is in Montreal talking all about palmitoylation in ALS MND. Stop by our posters & say hi.

Now that @jesuisyasmeena.bsky.social is on Bluesky, I should reshare this fantastic review she wrote, published in the Journal of Huntington's Disease. It's open access. Enjoy!
