We would like to thank NVIDIA and their GPU Grant Program for awarding the Heit lab a free GPU for our computational work. This program furnishes academic labs with free GPU’s, for use in developing new analytical frameworks and to enable data analysis. This NVIDIA GPU will allow the Heit lab to continue our development […]
The Heit lab is excited to announce the discovery of membrane cages, a previously undescribed membrane structure. This discovery has been published in the journal Scientific Reports. Membrane cages act to transiently block the diffusion of membrane proteins, thus structuring proteins in cellular membranes over short periods of time. This discovery was made, with our collaborator Dr John de

The Heit lab, as part of a study led by Dr. Jane Rylett, has just published a paper on the cellular signalling involved in the cellular processes involved in Alzhimers disease. This study utilized a novel method of measuring protein distributions in super-resolution images developed in our lab. Winick-Ng W, Caetano FA, Winick-Ng J, Morey TM,
