Young Investigator Spotlight of the German Society for Matrix Biology: Dr. Kristina Bubb. Hi, I'm Kristina! I'm a pharmacist by training and currently a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institute (Sweden). My scientific journey began during my PhD in Cologne and has taken me from cartilage biology to the fascinating world of mitochondria and aging—uncovering how impaired mitochondria can drive premature skeletal and cartilage aging. At Karolinska, I’m continuing this path with a broader perspective. I use genetically modified mouse models to investigate how mitochondrial dysfunction affects tissue homeostasis and the extracellular matrix. My research combines molecular biology, omics technologies, and histological techniques to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying aging and tissue degeneration. Scientific facts about Kristina: Favorite tissue/ cell: Chondrocytes – survivors and underrated! Favorite ECM protein: Thrombospondins. Most evil method in lab: Genotyping - consumes half my life (still waiting for a robot to take over). Best methodological skills: Westernblot. Favorite smell in lab: None! But I really can’t stand the smell of β-mercaptoethanol. Personal facts about Kristina: Secret superpower: Creativity. Bad habit: I don’t give up, even when I probably should. Favorite Disney film: Finding Nemo. Most embarrassing/ or all-time celebrity crush: Nico Santos (don't judge!). How do you recharge after a busy day in the lab? Sports – dancing it away with a little Rock’n’Roll.

Let's start this week with a spotlight on @kristinabubb.bsky.social, this year's winner of our society's Young Investigator Award. You can find her recent publication on mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal ageing here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Flyer for the annual meeting of the German Society for Matrix Biology: Matrix Nexus - The Extracellular Matrix: From Molecular Foundations To Life. The flags of Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are shown on the outline of Germany, three intertwined snakes/dragons in red, yellow, and blue are looking up to the title, and a pin indicates the location of Freiburg, where the meeting will be held 26.03.-28.03.2025.
