My new favorite word : "pre-accept" - more to come soon here ๐ฅณ
We recently celebrated the 7th anniversary of @theustunlab.bsky.social with a barbecue! Our journey began in Tรผbingen in September 2018 and has continued in Bochum since 2022. Excited to see what the coming years will bring!
7 years ago,I sat outside @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social,gathering the courage to begin a new chapter as a group leader. Now in Bochum, I still need that courage to face challengesโboth inside & outside the labโbut after all Iโm grateful that I still find joy in what I do. #happybirthday #theustunlab
Job alert ๐ฃ Our faculty looks for a Junior Professor W1 with tt to W2 in Membrane Biology! We are looking for #ECRs working on membrane biogenesis,contact sites,composition & other aspects of membranes in ๐ฑ and other organisms! DM me if you need more details!

We (@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social @shanshuo.bsky.social) had a fantastic #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with lots of amazing science and great networking meeting old friends and new ones. Hope to see you all next time in Jeju/South Korea #2027ISMPMI
Next in the concurrent session โspatial and temporal sessionโ is @type3lab.bsky.social who will talk about their amazing findings on distinct pseudomonas subpopulations that cooperate to colonize plants #2025ISMPMI
Last day of #2025ISMPMI, last poster session: dont miss @shanshuo.bsky.social fantastic poster about how we used a combination of scRNAseq and cell-type specific approaches to reveal the role of autophagy in stomatal & mesophyll immunity during Pseudomonas infection - more info โก๏ธ P-432 #proteostasis

Happy to meet you at poster no. P-405 and to talk about my project at #2025ISMPMI this afternoon! ๐ฟ
If you wanna dive into the world of #proteostasis and its role in plant immunity, visit @margotraffeiner.bsky.social poster (P-405) today. She discovered a novel proteotoxicity regulator (a protease with ubiquitin binding capacities) that plays a role in biotic and abiotic stresses! #2025ISMPMI
Enjoying the free afternoon in Cologne at #2025ISMPMI with @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social and Christa ๐ฅ
Now @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social is on stage presenting his exciting project on p-bodies, and how bacteria utilize them to attenuate host translation #proteostasis #2025ISMPMI
A person presenting a scientific talk showing a slide quantifying P bodies through microscopy
@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social explains that eukaryote P bodies contain translationally inactive RNAs.
Do pathogens induce the formation of these? Yes!
How? Effectors!โฆ that repress ER stress response.
Why? Make plants susceptible by reducing translation of immunity genes.

If you want to hear about our latest work at @suaybuestuen.bsky.social's lab on pathogen manipulation of host translation and P-bodies at #2025ISMPMI, pass by my presentation today at 12:20 in the concurrent session "Effector interference mechanism" (Room M+N).
We start with the concurrent session: @lauramepul.bsky.social from @geminiteamlab.bsky.social is introducing the plant-virus interactions session - looking forward to some exciting talks #2025ISMPMI
Next in the plenary session of #ISMPMI is @geminiteamlab.bsky.social who will take us in the virus world ๐คฉ Looking forward to a fantastic talk!
@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk about how bacteria exploit P-bodies to attenuate host translation
@margotraffeiner.bsky.social presents a novel proteotoxicity regulator and its role in plant immunty
@shanshuo.bsky.social will emphasize the role of autophagy in stomatal immunity
If youโre interested in the role of #proteostasis in plant immunity and how pathogens manipulate it visit our contributions at #2025ISMPMI
@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk on Tuesday in the effector interference session
@shanshuo.bsky.social (P-432)

We made it to cologne (shortest trip to an MPMI ever ๐) looking forward to some great science! #2025ISMPMI #theustunlab
Another amazing conference ended - was great to attend two amazing sessions on #proteostasis and #condensates - with @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social having a double feature and winning the Yound Scientist Award in the cell section of @sebiology.bsky.social next stop: IS- MPMI in Cologne! #2025ISMPMI
Iโm so happy and proud - what an incredible achievement and so richly deserved! Huge congratulations
@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social Will never forget this moment!

Honoured to receive the #YoungScientistAward from the @sebiology.bsky.social in the Cell section at the Antwerp conference. Thank you for this amazing recognition โ Iโm truly grateful!
Weโre ready for the #SEBconference Award Dinner ๐คฉ @sebiology.bsky.social @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social
And another feature from @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @sebiology.bsky.social in the young scientist award session - super proud moment for @theustunlab.bsky.social ๐ฅณ
Next in the condensation session is our own from @theustunlab.bsky.social @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social who talks how bacteria exploit p-body condensation to suppress protein translation #proteostasis #immunity - see also our preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
It's happening now! @suaybuestuen.bsky.social is presenting now at @sebiology.bsky.social such an amazing work on how plants cope with proteotoxicity!! ๐ฑ#proteostasis
Heading to Antwerp to attend the #SEBconference โช @sebiology.bsky.social โฌto present our latest findings (see latest version of our paper here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....) how ๐ฑ cope with proteotoxicity in the #proteostasis session (C1.11). Hope to see you all there!
An amazing #ICAR2025 ended - was so great to catch up with old friends and to find new ones! so many highlights! Great science, people and an awesome place ๐ค see you in Singapur #ICAR2026
