Excited to announce Iβm 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!

π¨ PhD Position in Plant Molecular Biology π±
We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our team to study root protective barriers. If you are interested in confocal microscopy, cell wall biology, and plant development, this project might be for you! Please share!

πΏ Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.
#Postdoc #EcoEvo
Pls RT!
Keep pushing & don't forget the bigger picture :)
From plants to neurons? Never underestimate our green fellows for what they can teach us! #marchantia #autophagy #evolution
Join us for the #Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium 2026, April 29-30, in Vienna!

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₯οΈ
@hanhtkvu.bsky.social @embl.org & we are looking for a #postdoc to study #regeneration x #autophagy across kingdoms of life. Pls spread the word & get in touch if you are interested www.health-life-sciences.de/opportunitie...
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.
Some of my favs here: #valentinesday #ib103 #iamabotanist #plantjoy @botsocamerica.bsky.social l @plantteaching.bsky.social
Extremely proud and honored to #mentor Postdoc Gautier Langin who has been awarded a #MSCA in the very competitive 2026 call!@bokuvienna.bsky.social

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.
Wirklich hΓΆrenswert!

Most wholesome paper I have ever worked on. Made me feel awesome about being part of this community.
The Vienna BioCenter Summer School 2026 call is open for talented undergrads, it's a great opportunity for students who are interested in graduate study in the life sciences. Tim Clausen from the IMP is recruiting!

Glad to have this finally published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... lots of new data since the #preprint. If you are into selective #autophagy, #evolution, #proteostasis Please have a look!
Oh yessss! Very grateful to be working with such a wonderful and fierce team!
It is not easy to pave the way through the protocol jungle.
But I am so proud of every single piece of data our students already produced π¬π§ͺπ₯Ό
