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.
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
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! 😊
The AMBER call is still open and will close on September 8th. We are seeking a passionate Postdoctoral Researcher to investigate the mechanisms driving protein transport into mitochondria in Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska's group. lnkd.in/etNHhNXf
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!
Michael Lazarou and I will be chairing the 11th International Symposium on Autophagy (ISA) in Australia from 16-20 Nov 2025! 📍 Location: Lorne, Victoria, Australia 🌐 Register now: isa11.org Join us for five inspiring days of cutting-edge autophagy research!
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…
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
We have a PhD position available to study neuronal functions of autophagy and endocytosis.
Proud of new work tinyurl.com/yhz4c6ry from the lab by Zhicheng (Chen) Cui @Chen3dem using single-particle cryo-EM on liposomes to show how mTORC1 integrates nutrient and growth factor signaling at lysosomes, collab. w/ @G__Napolitano, A. Esposito, and A. Ballabio.
