EMBO Workshop "Autophagy Across Scales" We are excited to announce the EMBO Workshop on Autophagy Across Scales, taking place from September 23-27, 2024, in the beautiful setting of Sorrento, Italy. This event is co-organized by Antonella De Matteis from TIGEM, Italy, Helene Knævelsrud from the University of Oslo, Norway, and Sascha Martens from the University of Vienna, Austria. Autophagy, a fundamental cellular quality control process, has witnessed remarkable progress since the identification of Autophagy-related genes (ATGs) in the 1990s. These breakthroughs have given us a deeper understanding of how these genes orchestrate the encapsulation of cellular materials within autophagosomes, leading to their lysosomal degradation. Recent advances have shifted the focus towards understanding how ATGs interact with membrane trafficking and lipid transfer machinery at molecular and cellular levels. The ability to manipulate autophagy with precision is becoming increasingly critical for exploring its role as a stress-response pathway across various tissues and organisms. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into the latest mechanistic insights and scalable tools, while emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to keep pace with the rapidly evolving field. Autophagy Across Scales is dedicated to bridging these vital developments, providing a platform for autophagy researchers to share knowledge and foster new ideas. #Autophagy #EMBO #Tigem #ScientificWorkshop

🚀 Inspiring Week in London | #LC24 Highlights Last week was so much more than just a visit to London …. it was a journey through the latest advancements in genome research and #nanopore sequencing technology; it was a blast of an event and an amazing opportunity to catch up with collaborators; but also, an important step for my personal endeavour as well as our community efforts towards democratising real-time sequence data analysis. At Oxford Nanopore Technologies event #LondonCalling2024, I had the honour of presenting our brand new, real-time long-read metagenomics data analysis solution, “RT-metagenomics”. During a Product Demo session hosted by Sarah Griffiths I have been showcasing how easy our solution integrates with ONT’s user-friendly analysis platform #EPI2ME and how our community-standardised, best-practice software solutions can be employed to tackle environmental and health challenges at an analysis speed you have likely never experienced before. Big thanks and greetings to the whole #EPI2ME team as well as to all collaborators and supporters without whom this would not have been possible, especially those on site including Susanne Gerber, Stefan Pastore, Anna Wierczeiko, Tamer Butto, Nathaniel Deimler, Vincent Dietrich, Charlotte Hewel from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Yannik Busch from Stefan-Morsch-Stiftung, the participants of our community activities #NanoporeHackathon Velik Velikov, Conradin Baumgartl, Victoria C., Guang-yi Chen, Dr. Julian Sommer, Mohit Navandar, Max Stammnitz, Christine Driller, the team at Triathlon - Universität des Saarlandes and many more.

Biospherea: What do you love about being a bioscientist? Me: The fact that I get to relate with life and organisms, something not abstract, getting to identify problems and proffer solutions, scientific improvisation... in fact everything. I simply love being a bioscientist. I am that Christian Scientist, microbiologist, mushroom scientist, circular economy and sustainable development advocate ✌️
