Back from the 8th NAS Conference in Sånga Säby, and what a wonderful experience it was! Christoph and Franzi represented the lab, and as a cherry on top, Chris won an award for his talk 🎉 Huge thanks to the NAS for organising and always creating such a warm community atmosphere!

🎓✨ Huge congratulations to Saskia, an amazing PhD student who just successfully defended her thesis!
The flower crown toss might just become our new lab tradition! @uni-freiburg.de

To degrade or not to degrade! We put together an Autophagic Punctum with @wilflinglab.bsky.social on our latest paper, take a look if you're interested!

4️⃣ In mammalian cells, FIP200 (Atg11 homolog) clusters on cargo surfaces—membrane-bound & membrane-less. These clusters connect the phagophore assembly site to the ER, essential for autophagy initiation.

2️⃣ The scaffold protein Atg11 forms phase-separated clusters on cargo surfaces. These clusters act as platforms to recruit core machinery proteins like Atg1 and Atg9 by avidity, initiating autophagy.
