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:
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)

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 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
Thrilled that we have been awarded UNION (UnderstadiNg frailty tOwards a future of healthy ageiNg), a Marie Curie Doctorate Network funding 13 PhD students in 2024-28 to push the boundaries of what we know and can do to promote healthy ageing.

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
Nature Cell Biology - Our understanding of the basic mechanisms of autophagy is growing, but many questions remain about the types of autophagy cells use, when they use them, and how they function...

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. 👇
Inheritance of old mitochondria controls early CD8+ T cell fate commitment and is regulated by autophagy https://t.co/jHGxRYO35k

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 About the Simon Lab: https://t.co/7VswzvQktq

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! 🎉 @MitoTherapx_Lab, mitochondria quality control in immune cells and age-related diseases. https://t.co/R9qTSWAJJY
