Bidding farewell to Wei who is going back to Taiwan to start his new group as an Assistant Professor. Congratulations Wei! We are certain that you are going to rock! At the same time we are welcoming Fei who joined us from the VIB and started a few weeks back. Welcome Fei!
It's hard to believe that an entire year has flown by since the start of our lab at RWTH University nestled in the charming city of Aachen. Our journey began with just a handful of individuals, and Alaa standing steadfast from the start, playing a pivotal role in setting the wheels in motion (Cheers, Alaa!). Fast forward to today, and our team has grown a lot, yet we are still looking for for talent, with an open position eagerly waiting to be filled.
Happy to be working with this bunch!

Perfect start here at the RWTH in Aachen with sunny days and Cherry trees in full blossom at the Melaten Campus.
Perfect for Ohanami 🙂
Our work “K63-linked ubiquitin chains are a global signal for endocytosis and contribute to selective autophagy in plants. Current Biology” was published in Current Biology!
Marco has been appointed chair of the Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology and our group is moving to the RWTH University in the lovely city of Aachen! It has been four great years at the University of Freiburg and we are sad to leave friends and colleagues. However, we are also looking forward to new exciting times at the RWTH!
We have various new openings, so keep an eye on new job postings.
The “International Conference on Plant Proteostasis” organized by Vicente Rubio (CNB, CSIC, Madrid), together with Frederica Theodoulou, Beatriz Orosa and Marco Trujillo, was again a huge success. We had a fantastic line up of people and brilliant talks. Vivid discussions took place after every talk and during the poster sessions, reflecting a phenomenal engagement of participants. Our Carla Brillada @carla840126 also presented a story from the lab with data from her and alumni Bushra Saeed @Uknow_Wh0. In addition, Madrid is a fantastic venue making the meeting very enjoyable.

The community will meet again for the next Conference in beautiful Vienna!
The German Research Foundation (DFG) awarded the prestigious Heisenberg prize to Marco to promote his research on ubiquitination, in particular investigating cross-talk with cellular signalling mediated by kinases.
“We are humbled by this honour and deeply grateful for the support of the DFG”
We just published an Annual Review in Plant Biology on ” The Evolution and Functions of Plant U-Box Proteins: From Protein Quality Control to Signaling” were we explore the evolution of U-box proteins in the plant lineage all the way to structural details of E3 function.
