ABSTRACTS CLOSE 18 July!
The 11th International Symposium on Autophagy 2025
📅 16–20 November 2025 | Lorne, Victoria
Registration: isa11.org/
We have a fantastic line-up of speakers and a wide range of topics focused on the fascinating world of autophagy.
I am very lucky, and honored, to be part of the amazing Rebecca Cooper Foundation. Thank you for this research profile and for your incredible support of our research!
Prof Lazarou’s ground-breaking research aims to develop therapeutics that target mitochondrial dysfunction in diseases ranging from Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and beyond. @LazarouLab Find out more about his research here👇

Structural biologists- join us to work on the mechanisms of protein transport to mitochondria!
We work in the interdysciplinary group and in collaboration with structural groups.
!Structural friends please distribute! 😊

Excited to reveal specific reactive oxygen species as sentinel molecules that control localized protein degradation at #mitochondria to adjust the electron transport chain, with many implications for ROS in development and disease. @UCBerkeley @MTI_UCB

Did we conceive the structure of neurons incorrectly all these years?
nature.com/articles/s41593-0… @NatureNeuro
not smooth, cylindrical strands but a string of pearls?
it's controversial

It was great to have nearly 120 scientists gather for 20th anniversary @BiochemSoc @ASAP_Research meeting in London to mark discovery of #PINK1 mutations in Parkinson's patients by Nick Wood @MDC_IoN_UCL @UCLBrainScience in 2004. 🙏also to @CureParkinsonsT @ParkinsonUK
Don’t miss Dr Heidi McBride from @mcgillu speaking at the @WEHI_research #Parkinsons Disease Research Centre on her work looking at mitochondrial derived vesicles in neurodegeneration and Parkinson’s Monday 2 Dec at 11am AEST

We have a PhD position available to study neuronal functions of autophagy and endocytosis.
Update! We outline AIVE, an AI method for volume EM data. We show the benefits of AIVE for reconstructing your FIB-SEM data, reveal some fascinating cell biology, and define intrusions as a new form of mitochondrial contact.

Muscle mito nanotunnels 1/3🧵
2/3 🧵Here are a few examples of ER-mito intrusions. Mito-mito intrusions were also observed. As were intrusion relays between ER and mitos spanning multiple organelles.
