The UNION consortium is excited to announce 17 open #PhD positions! UNION aims to address the challenges of our ageing society. It involves experts from various disciplines (PIs tagged below) and uses cutting-edge technologies. Contact the individual PIs with your EOI
We've got an open postdoc position in our lab at the @MDC_Berlin! Become our team member and help us decipher the role of autophagy in the aging immune system:

Keeping up with our high yield of Simon Lab members becoming PIs: @nanaborsa is starting her own group as an Assistant Professor in 🇨🇭 next year. We couldn't be more proud! 🍾🎉 Stay tuned for news on her recent work and future endeavours: nanaborsa.bsky.social
It was not a straightforward path, but it is happening: I am officially an Assistant Professor-to-be! 🎉 I am thrilled to announce that was awarded a @snsf_ch Starting Grant and will start my lab next year. Very grateful to all those that supported me over the last years 👇 (1/4)

Inspiring talks from the #HelmholtzHeroes took place at the #HelmholtzHealthSummit, where our experts shared cutting-edge health research. Representing #mdcBerlin: @ash_d_sanders, @KatjaSimon4 and Uta Höpken.

The #ii_berlin_symposium was a blast! We connected several Berlin-based immunologists, let's do it again! 🥳
This meeting wouldn't be possible without our excellent speakers, sponsors and participants – thank you! 💫

For those attending the #ECI2024, @nanaborsa is speaking today at Workshop 36 about how inheritance of old #mitochondria relies on #autophagy and shapes #Tcell fate decision.
Had a great time talking about T cell ageing during the #ECI2024 Pint of Immunology. Big thanks to the organizers @pintofscienceIE and all those who engaged and made the discussion so interesting. #autophagy #DamAge @aksimonlab
We are very excited about next year's start of the @MSCActions doctoral network UNION, which will train more than a dozen PhD students across Europe in the emerging field of healthy aging. Preparations are on their way!
birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/s…
We have 2 open PhD positions at the @MDC_Berlin in 2025 as part of the exciting @MSCActions UNION Doctoral Network. Rotation opportunities in other excellent European labs to embark on projects at the intersection of aging and immunity. Contacts below #PhDPosition
Apply by emailing [email protected] or [email protected] (@seb_hofer). Starting early 2025.

What does autophagy degrade to maintain a healthy immune cell? Katja and other leaders in the autophagy field discuss this and other questions they believe are key for us to deepen our understanding of this fundamental cellular mechanism. @NatureCellBio nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Ok, bringing this profile back to life because:
1. I just pressed the submit button of a grant application.
2. My first ever preprint is online since less than 24h ago.

The #embosignaling24 in Venice was a blast: learned so much and met such amazing and generous peers! Big thanks to the organisers and very honoured to receive this prize.
#embosignaling24 Congratulations to all poster prize winners! Sponsored by @emboreports @NatImmunol @NatureMicrobiol @DMM_Journal @Co_Biologists
Job done, now time to enjoy the Italian sun: @avlecvie and @seb_hofer, the speakers of our lab at the #GRCautophagy2024, who both gave fantastic talks about how modulating autophagy can boost immune responses and promote longevity.

#mdcBerlin researcher Amir Kayvanjoo (@K1_joo) from the @aksimonlab investigates an important process within our cells called #autophagy. What that is, you ask? Find out by watching today's clip! 👇😉 #mdcVoices #mdcDiversity

We are all very proud of our powerhouse @avlecvie, who is joining @IRBBarcelona as a group leader very soon. And she is already recruiting! If you are interested in mitochondria, metabolism and immunology, you shouldn't miss this opportunity. Please help us spreading the word!
Thrilled to share that I'll be joining @IRBBarcelona as a Junior Group Leader! 🎉
