HiLIFE Webinar: Sarah Cohen
Organelle dynamics and lipid trafficking
January HiLIFE webinars are organized by WILS Helsinki/Women in Life Science network in University of Helsinki.
Sarah is a cell biologist with more than 15 years of experience studying organelle dynamics and function. During her Ph.D. training in the laboratory of Dr. Nelly Panté at the University of British Columbia, she studied the nuclear entry mechanism of a small non-enveloped parvovirus. She found that parvoviruses hijack host mechanisms for nuclear envelope breakdown normally used during mitosis and apoptosis to gain access to the nucleus (JVI 2011; PLoS Pathogens 2013). Her Ph.D. work on nuclear envelope breakdown triggered her interest in organelle dynamics, biogenesis, and inheritance, and led her to the lab of Dr. Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz for postdoctoral training. During her postdoctoral fellowship, she developed novel assays for visualizing the trafficking of fluorescent fatty acid analogues (Dev. Cell 2015). Together with colleagues, she developed methods for live-cell multispectral imaging, which allows the observation of up to six different fluorophores simultaneously in a living cell (Nature 2017; Current Protocols in Cell Biology 2018). Finally, during the latter part of her postdoctoral training supported by a K99 award from the National Institute on Aging, she gained training in neuroscience, Alzheimer’s Disease, and aging. These skills have perfectly positioned her to start her own research group in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill in 2017, studying the important questions of how lipids move among organelles and between cells in various tissues, in health and disease. They have recently characterized the functions of proteins at ER-lipid droplet (PLOS Genetics 2020, MBoC 2021) and lipid droplet-mitochondria (in preparation) membrane contact sites.
