Excited to announce I’m starting a new lab at @gmivienna.bsky.social (Vienna BioCentre) in Sept 2026

We study how carbon fixation is inherited and maintained in algae using cryo-ET, imaging, environmental sampling&more

Looking for people who want to build the lab together, get in touch!

Why do pathological protein aggregates persist in cells and how can we overcome this?
In our new preprint, we show that Tau aggregates fail to initiate selective autophagy and that their autophagic degradation can be restored.

Today my kid is turning 5! Transitioning through 2 Postdocs into my PI position through a pandemic. Moving Countries. Leaving behind old roles, finding a new version of myself. Those have been the 5 hardest AND richest years of my life. I am so grateful for it and everyone supporting along the way β™₯️

text says "hold me like marchantia holds water", the pic is a lecture slide show marchantia archegoniophore holding water text says "my love for you is as abundant as rubisco", with a protein structure of rubisco text says "my love for you is liek apical meristems.. it keeps on growing", pic shows shoot and root apical meristem text says "call me a xylem cell, because i would die for you"

Asked my Intro Plant Bio students to make Valentine's day plant meme using what they learned in class so far, and dang, it gives me SO MUCH joy seeing all the submissions.

Have a look at our new structure of co translational folding in yeast. This is collaborative work initialized by the Rospert lab from the @uni-freiburg.de. Structural work has been done by the amazing @lgrundmann.bsky.social Stay tuned for the next ribosome paper from him, following very soon.
