Great science at the CSCB-APOCB-IFCB Meeting (iscb.co.in/2026-annual-...) in Hefei! I was honored to present some of our recent work on the cellular response of cells to starvation and lysosomal membrane damage conducted by Yanwei and Michael.

Congratulations again to Maya for being such an amazing scientist and an outstanding awardee!

The 2026 Otto Warburg Medal winner Maya Schuldiner received the medal from @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social after a moving laudatio by Christian Ungermann Thanks to @elsevierconnect.bsky.social for the continuous support!

Congratulations to Miaomiao and co-first author Valentin Duhay on our new joint study with the Markus Damme lab on the control of lysosome function by the Arl8B GAP protein TBC1D9B that just appeared in Nature Communciations! Great to see this out! See: rdcu.be/e8qBl

Control of lysosome function by the GTPase-activating protein TBC1D9B and its binding partner TMEM55B

Nature Communications - Lysosome positioning is essential for cell metabolism and stress responses. Here, the authors show that the TMEM55B-associated protein TBC1D9B controls lysosome positioning,...

I am so happy and feel honored to receive the Ernst Schering Prize 2025! I am grateful to all my former and current lab members as well as to my great colleagues that have made this possible!

Last day of a great conference in Roscoff on Membrane Remodelling. Amazing to see general principles emerge between animal and plant cells.

💊 Three days, dozens of talks, and endless networking opportunities: The #Helmholtz Drug Discovery Conference at #mdcBerlin is over! Over 200 participants from academia and industry came together to exchange ideas, forge collaborations, and dive deep into the science behind tomorrow’s therapeutics.

Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nanobinders for Synaptotagmin 1 enable the analysis of synaptic vesicle dynamics in rodent and human models.

Synaptic neurotransmission is a critical hallmark of brain activity and one of the first processes to be affected in neural diseases. Monitoring this process, and in particular synaptic vesicle recycl...
