The Wilfling Lab

Humbled and excited to join the EMBO young investigator community. Congratulations to all and looking forward to meeting you in the future. embo.org/press-releases…

Thanks to @WAutophagy for giving me the opportunity to present our work looking at the organisation of the selective autophagy cargo Ape1 by in situ cryo-electron tomography ❄️🔬at #WIA2024meeting. What a great symposium!

Its award time again - join us online for the @DGZ_info 2024 award session on October 7th!

Brilliant news that our Masters student Konrad has been awarded the @DGZ_info Master Thesis Award! Very well deserved for his fantastic work during his time in the lab so far 🥳

It’s been a great start to the week at #EMBOautophagy24 in beautiful Sorrento ☀️ There‘s still time to come and visit our poster (number 21) and I look forward to more interesting discussions 👩‍🔬🔬

Want to hear about how we use in situ structural biology to investigate the properties of autophagic cargo? Come to poster number 21 at #EMBOautophagy2024 and talk to @Javi_Lizaendo and @EBoyle2499 to find out!

We had an inspiring day discussing #celldeath, #microscpy and #development. We were reminded by @iDikic2 that science requires collaboration, and that we need to work together to answer the big questions! Thank you @DikicLab @GarciaSaez_Lab @Beck_Labratory @WilflingLab!

Only 3️⃣ days left! On Monday, we will welcome our new IMPRS-CBP PhD students with an interesting Symposium on Cellular Biophysics. If you are around at Riedberg Campus, join us! 😊 Check out the program on our website: 👉 imprs-cbp.mpg.de/symposium-on-c… #symposium #sciencetalk

Beautiful work on the in situ structure of ATP Synthase by @dietrich_th from the Kühlbrandt group published today in @ScienceMagazine 🔬 Discover how this important protein complex shapes the inner mitochondrial membrane! 🧪 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We're giving the lab a fresh clean and getting everything ready for an exciting new academic year 🧽🔬 #LabLife

We were excited for @KuiperEls to attend the 'Self-Leadership for Women Scientists' course! @EMBO. Building soft skills like leadership, communication, and self-awareness is just as important as mastering scientific techniques. 🧠💪 #WomenInScience #Leadership #Empowerment

It's summer! 🌅 so we finished the experiments early and went for a well-deserved evening of drinks, dinner, and (not) discussing science 🍹🍕🧪🔬 #ScienceSquad #SummerNights #LabLife

Great paper from @WilflingFlorian on how Autophagy preferentially degrades non-fibrillar polyQ aggregates: Molecular Cell cell.com/molecular-cell…

The Night of Science was a big success! Many people came to @MPIbp to enjoy the science, by doing small experiments🧪 eating liquid nitrogen ice cream🍦 and listening to talks 🎤 @EBoyle2499 and Delong showed how saliva digests food, @FabianFiedler10 and @KuiperEls gave a talk

This Friday from 17-22h: Night of Science! @MPIbp two of us will give a talk: Fabian on how cells get rid of their waste, and @KuiperEls on how our cells stay healthy with age. More of us will be there to make ice cream and do small experiments 🧪🍦 don't miss it!

Last week the film crew of the FWU (Institute for Film and Image in Science and Education @FWU_Schule) came to lab to interview Pia and Florian. The FWU are making an educational movie on fasting and wanted to hear everything about our research on autophagy in yeast 🧫🎥
