After 14 years in the @maxplanckpress Max-Planck Society, it has come time to say goodbye. What started as a postdoc in Andrea Musacchio’s lab at the @mpimoph MPI-MP, continued on new topics as an independent Max-Planck Research Group Leader at the @mpi_nat MPI-NAT.

I am grateful to the organisations and to all my colleagues for their support and collaboration, stimulating scientific discussions, and the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of science. A truly formative experience.

It is also time to say goodbye to Germany. You have giving me and my family a lifetime full of memories. So, what's next? Time will tell… For now… auf Wiedersehen. Tschüss!

Feedforward auto-activation: activated ATG101 subsequently quickly activates non-activated ATG101 molecules to create a positive feedforward reaction and supports the local fast assembly of a key complex in autophagy initiation.

Thanks to all the authors for their hard work! This work was done by @mpi_nat. We thank @CompBioPhys and Urlaub laboratory for their help, and @dfg_public and @maxplanckpress for funding. Check it out for many more surprises!
