🚨New preprint Alert🚨 Shared Structural Features of Miro Binding Control Mitochondrial Homeostasis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… If you want to get the gist follow the 🧵

Our new preprint is out! Phospholipids (PLs) are made a bit everywhere in cells and then transported by hosts of pathways we don't know of, a system full of redundancies and compensatory mechanisms. Here we set out to discover some of them. #followme biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sabine brilliantly defended her PhD thesis. Huge congratulations! Last ETH-affiliated student of the lab, and of an era.

We have a fully funded PhD project to study antifungal resistance in collaboration with Syngenta. Exciting opportunity to join us in Oxford and have a foot in the door of industry with twelve weeks at Syngenta Switzerland! findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

Our collaboration with the @LabStutz is out! SATAY screening unveils a role for a mysterious protease in resolving protein-DNA crosslinks. cell.com/molecular-cell…

Here's the @KornmannLab v2019 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇳🇲🇫🇮🇳🇹🇼🇳🇱🇨🇭

We're hiring a bioinfomartician/data scientist! You have the analytical skills, we have data, tons of them. Join a new and motivated group using transposon screening technologies in beautiful Oxford, and put your hand on that treasure trove of data! recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrislivere…

We are hiring postdocs! Excited about lipid exchange at membrane contacts and the idea of developing tools to actually "see" it happen? check recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrislivere…

We are looking for a research assistant. If you like the challenge of helping setting up a new research lab from scratch in Oxford and have a big impact on its future, then please apply! recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrislivere…

Our paper on CENP-F CRISPR mice is provisionally accepted in @PLOSGenetics . Congrats to @peterka_m ! In the mean time, the preprint is still available here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have received an Investigator Award grant from the Wellcome trust. We are therefore hiring. Get in touch if you want to work on the fascinating question of how lipid molecules traffic through the cell, and join the fantastic environment at Oxford Biochemistry.

ANNOUNCEMENT: the laboratory is moving to the university of Oxford in the biochemistry department!

@Hesso_F_Sci @BenoitKornmann @OxBiochNews Thanks!

@BenoitKornmann @KornmannLab @OxBiochNews Congratulations 😀👍

The @KornmannLab will be joining the Biochemistry department in Oxford next year (@OxBiochNews), where I have been hired as an associate professor!

Carmelina's review is out in Curr Opin Cell Biol. Read about the missing pieces of ER-mitochondria lipid exchange here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1YDcR3PA3sD5…

@peterka_m brilliantly defended his PhD thesis today. Many congratulations to him!

Carmelina's review had just been accepted in current opinion in cell biology. Congrats!

Qian's paper on mechanical forces applied to cellular organelles has been published! jcs.biologists.org/content/131/21…

@mitochondrista 's review on mechanical forces on organelles will appear soon in @J_Cell_Sci . Congratulations to her!

Our latest preprint is out! It is about disrupting CENP-F/Miro interaction in mice using CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing. Congratulations to Martin! biorxiv.org/content/early/…
