ABSTRACTS CLOSE 18 July! The 11th International Symposium on Autophagy 2025 📅 16–20 November 2025 | Lorne, Victoria Registration: isa11.org We have a fantastic line-up of speakers and a wide range of topics focused on the fascinating world of autophagy.

Coming soon!!

I am very lucky, and honored, to be part of the amazing Rebecca Cooper Foundation. Thank you for this research profile and for your incredible support of our research!

📣 UPDATE 11th International Symposium on Autophagy Missed the abstract submissions? Good news! Late poster abstract submissions are still open. Act fast, submissions close 10th October. Register here: isa11.org/registration

Abstracts close in 48h for the 11th ISA! isa11.org Speaker slots still available including for ECRs and PhD students, as well as poster and speaker prizes!

Structural biologists- join us to work on the mechanisms of protein transport to mitochondria! We work in the interdysciplinary group and in collaboration with structural groups. !Structural friends please distribute! 😊

Join us in Lorne for the 11th ISA. We have a fantastic line up of speakers at a beautiful coastal location in Australia. Hope to see you there!

This paper is a stark reminder for why it is so important to innovate in drug discovery against neurodegenerative diseases now. @MTI_UCB nature.com/articles/s4159…

@LabGanley @mrcppu @Official_BSCB @UoDLifeSciences @The_MRC Congratulations Ian! Fantastic recognition of your discoveries that have contributed significantly to the field and our understanding of mitophagy.

@mrcppu @Official_BSCB @UoDLifeSciences @The_MRC Many thanks to @Official_BSCB for awarding me the 2025 Hooke Medal! Very honoured indeed – would not have been possible without lab (past & present) and support of mentors, colleagues, friends and family: bscb.org/hooke-medal-wi…

Excited that our review: "Exercise as Mitochondrial Medicine: How Does the Exercise Prescription Affect Mitochondrial Adaptations to Training?" will soon be published in ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYSIOLOGY with @MitoPsychoBio & @matt_lee1

Looking for reviewers before Christmas x.com/Arezurose/stat…

NEW #Preprint on #ATG8 specialization in #autophagy in #plants: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A short 🧵

📢📢New work from Dr Linh Dang in my group - analysis of physiological human autophagic flux in leukocytes. Surprises related to ageing, sex effects, and nutrient sensing! @sahmriAU #autophagy #aging Cell-type specific autophagy in human leukocytes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to reveal specific reactive oxygen species as sentinel molecules that control localized protein degradation at #mitochondria to adjust the electron transport chain, with many implications for ROS in development and disease. @UCBerkeley @MTI_UCB cell.com/molecular-cell…

Excited to share our latest preprint on @biorxivpreprint: "The RBR E3 ubiquitin ligase HOIL-1 can ubiquitinate diverse non-protein substrates in vitro". biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did we conceive the structure of neurons incorrectly all these years? nature.com/articles/s4159… @NatureNeuro not smooth, cylindrical strands but a string of pearls? it's controversial science.org/content/articl… @NewsfromScience @ScienceMagazine

@MuenchLab @goetheuni @IBC2_GU @EMBO_YIP @ERC_Research Fantastic news and richly deserved!

Today marks 8 years @goetheuni-an incredible journey from group leader @IBC2_GU to now 🥳full professor & Director of the Institute of Molecular Systems Medicine in Frankfurt. Grateful for the invaluable support and amazing people along the way! @EMBO_YIP, @ERC_Research

It was great to have nearly 120 scientists gather for 20th anniversary @BiochemSoc @ASAP_Research meeting in London to mark discovery of #PINK1 mutations in Parkinson's patients by Nick Wood @MDC_IoN_UCL @UCLBrainScience in 2004. 🙏also to @CureParkinsonsT @ParkinsonUK

Free. No registration. Following @mitodynamics presentation there will be a Q&A session. Put it in your calendar now and join via ZOOM: us02web.zoom.us/j/89613002136?…

Don’t miss Dr Heidi McBride from @mcgillu speaking at the @WEHI_research #Parkinsons Disease Research Centre on her work looking at mitochondrial derived vesicles in neurodegeneration and Parkinson’s Monday 2 Dec at 11am AEST 🧵 1/2
