Congratulations Philippa Philippa Rosewell on a successful PhD viva! Well deserved🎉🎉🎉! Many thanks to examiners @VIKorolchuk and amosliang too!

Very excited to share our new article reporting that #PINK1 has an impact on mitochondrial homeostasis and basal levels of #mitophagy in mouse skeletal muscles, enabling to study the pathway in mammalian tissues without overt stresses. MRC PPU Ganley Lab tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to Dr Alan Prescott who won first place in the BSCB image competition It is a set of tiled images taken from a frozen section of an eye from the mitoQC mouse (McWilliams et al. J Cell Biol. 2016) developed by Ganley Lab MRC PPU buff.ly/49TLYqL

That is Scotland☀️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ganley Lab #Lab retreat 🏔

Out Now! Updated story on #HRI kinase as a negative regulator of #PINK1 mitophagy. We now show that the small molecule ISR inhibitor #ISRIB boosts PINK1 activation. Collaboration with Ganley Lab Rousseau Lab MRC PPU & @GlennMasson Click here for paper shorturl.at/G0IzL

We are enormously grateful to the Medical Research Council (MRC)/UKRI for their generous long-term support - 34 years and counting - for our research Unit at the University of Dundee ppu.mrc.ac.uk/news/further-p… Medical Research Council UK Research and Innovation #Dundee

New paper out! #AMPK regulates #ULK1 to balance #mitophagy of functional vs dysfunctional mitochondria in Molecular Cell. Great work from authors, especially Marianna Longo Aniketh Bishnu and collaborators @Kei_Sakamoto Carol MacKintosh. See it here: tinyurl.com/AMPK-ULK

Opposing roles for AMPK in regulating distinct mitophagy pathways. Check out this recent article in Molecular Cell by Ganley Lab, Marianna Longo, Aniketh Bishnu @Kei_Sakamoto, Carol MacKintosh #CellBio2024 hubs.li/Q02_YxPD0

SAVE THE DATE!!

Registration for the joint Autophagy UK & Proteostasis UK meeting is now open. Going to be a great meeting and we look forward to welcoming you to Dundee!

Our latest interview is with 2025 BSCB l Hooke Medal winner Ian Ganley of the University of Dundee MRC PPU. We spoke with Ian about his career journey, his approach to mentorship and his pet snowflake moray, Eel Armstrong. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

I want to highlight this Workshop I will be chairing with Prof Tiong Ong on Mitochondria Biology at #ESHCML2025 meeting in Estoril. We are lucky to have 3 excellent speakers, Ian Ganley Ganley Lab Payam Gammage Payam A. Gammage and Els Mansell Els Mansell, sharing their expertise!
