Belated thanks to Bergami Lab Motori Lab for this very thoughtful analysis of the work of Deborah Naon in our and Antonio Zorzano labs! Really enjoyed reading it. Would love to follow up on the questions you raise! LS

Glad to see our Contact-FP membrane contact site sensors published today in contactctc : journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/25…

Opening Day 1, we have Anne Spang (@spang_lab) with her talk titled ‘SMALL GTP BINDING PROTEINS AS REGULATORS OF MEMBRANE CONTACT SITES’ #MCS24

Check out this week's issue of publications on #MembraneContactSites! biomed.news/bims-mecosi/20… Thanks to Bims: Biomed News for the pre-selection! #MCS #EndoplasmicReticulum #Mitochondria #MAM

Are you interested in membrane contact sites? In melanogenesis? In both?? Look no more. This is the right place for you. Super projects and mentorship! Don’t hesitate and apply! mitojobs jobRxiv LS

I am thrilled to announce that I've been accepted into the Female Science Talents Intensive Track Program.😊🥳💃🏽 Together with 19 other talented women in science, we will enhance our skills in mentoring, networking, and leadership to achieve significant breakthroughs in one year.

Often described as the powerhouse of the cell #mitochondria have been implicated in a broad range of diseases. Join us Cell Symposia #CSMito2024 & discover how to target #mitochondria therapeutically & the potential use of mitochondrial editing & transfer. hubs.li/Q02mdg5n0

SzaboLab is looking for a motivated researcher to work on the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The fellowship is for two years and application by postdocs or students with at least a year of post-laurea lab experience is welcome. Contact: [email protected]

A big shootout to University of Padua Research office and its director Viviana. They are amazing. Your “must visit” for EU or international funding applications. Their support to European Research Council (ERC) applications and #MSCA Marathon for postdocs wishing to apply for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions are gems! LS

Super important paper by Andrea Musacchio lab

Beautiful and very important work by Jonathan Friedman on the discovery of a further DRP that participates in cristae morphology! A must read! LS

A fantastic paper by Abdou and team! Congratulations!! Cannot wait to try and measure metabolism at contact sites between mitochondrial GOV and other organelles! LS

Congratulations to the Du Feng’s lab and in particular to our own Cien Zhen & Hualin華林 who decided after their MD to pursue their PhD Department of Biology – University of Padova VIMM in our lab supported by CSC! We are grateful to have you in the team and excited about your next discoveries! LS

Mitochondriacs! are you completing a MSCA IF by the end of Sept, or did you complete it < than 60 months ago? or did you receive a SOE in the last 24 m? What about a funded 3y non tt ass prof+150-100K grant here in Padua, the cradle of mitochondria? Interested? email me! LS
