Scientists discovery a new mechanism on why older people are susceptible to Alzheimer´s disease, opening a new window on therapy. Big congratulations to @TheFangGroupUiO and all co-authors on this important @NatureAging article. Full manuscript nature.com/articles/s4358…

Great science and good vibes at the EMBO Neuronal Autophagy workshop in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain!

🧠 EMBO Workshop 2026 Neuronal autophagy: from circuit function to therapy 📍 Spain | 17–21 May ⏳ Deadline: 28 February 2026 #EMBO #Neuroscience

Hey, mito Twitter community (whoever is left here). Can you please help me amplify this message? Postdoc position available in Düsseldorf!

Very happy to announce the 2nd Neuronal Autophagy Meeting! Exciting speaker line-up covering synaptic proteostasis, metabolism & neurodegeneration. 🗓 Registration closes 15 Feb meetings.embo.org/event/26-neuro…

@VolkerHaucke Fantastic news! Congratulations!

I am so happy and feel honored to receive the Ernst Schering Prize 2025! I am grateful to all my former and current lab members as well as to my great colleagues that have made this possible!
