Congratulations! Claudine Kraft @kraftlabfr.bsky.social receives a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant – to find out why some protein #aggregates can be cleared by #autophagy and others not. She and her partners will harness this knowledge to improve autophagy in #ageing & #disease.

Sharepic showing a portrait picture of Claudine Kraft and her quote saying "Gender euqality is not just a women's issue – it affects us all. Real progress is made when we work together to find new solutions."
It’s #InternationalWomensDay tomorrow!
We took the occasion to talk to molecular biologist & CIBSS leadership team member @kraftlabfr.bsky.social about #Equality, #CultureChange and the power of mentoring and supportive networks in science.

💫NEW: Kraft, Wilfling & co show that low-affinity cargo–receptor interactions promote #autophagy receptor mobility and condensation of the scaffold protein Atg11 to trigger initiation hub and phagophore formation.

Check out our latest pre print! Alexandra and colleagues show that the enigmatic inflammasome receptor, NLRP6 is activated by sterile and pathogen induced endolysosomal damage. Hot off the press!
