This review of our @crc1678.bsky.social member @bjornschumacher.bsky.social and @meyerdh.bsky.social is greatly summarizing fundamentals of the molecular biology of aging. What causes aging? Read the answer!

Our PhD student @larahi.bsky.social l is now in Zurich @ethz.ch in the @picottilab.bsky.social with funding from @crc1678.bsky.social Lara, enjoy your time on the Hönggerberg 🏔️ in one of the best proteomics labs of the world!! 🧪

🚀 Don’t miss out the poster of our #CRC1678 member @nishahemandhar.bsky.social at the #EMBL Protein Conference — hands down, one of the most mind-blowing presentations out there! 🤯🤯

📣CRC 1678 is funding research visits for three early career scientists! 🔬 @thancbn.bsky.social visits @landthalerm.bsky.social @ MDC Berlin 🧬 @larahi.bsky.social & Car Elias Kutzner visit @picottilab.bsky.social @ ETH Zürich We wish our fellows an inspiring and productive time abroad!

Congratulations to our new postdoc Domenico DiFraia for his amazing paper in @science.org! 🥂 A tour de force on brain aging in the killifish. 🐟 Transcriptomics, proteomics, including ribosome profiling, PTMs, etc... Translation is key for understanding brain aging!🧬🎉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town. Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag. 🔗 Our @natcomms.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵Let’s break down what makes DynaTag so powerful (1/7)

🚨 Happy to share our first pre-print 🎉 on the causes of ribosome-associated degradation of CFTR and other transmembrane proteins. We explore how protein folding, ER insertion, and elongation dynamics influence translation arrests in this new class of RQC targets.👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This was fantastic! So much fun, so nice people and a lot of exciting discussions about science, life and everything ✨🧬👩‍🔬🥂🎳 #CRC1678 #ECRetreat #ScienceCommunity

👏 Congratulations to Professor Aleksandra Trifunovic on receiving the Max Delbrück Research Prize 2025 from the University of Cologne for her groundbreaking work on #mitochondria, #aging, and cellular stress responses. A proud moment for #CECAD! ➡️ uni.koeln/Y6WSC @unicologne.bsky.social

CECAD receives renewed DFG funding! 🎉 We continue to unlock the biology of aging 🧬 and advance healthy aging for all! 👵👴 ➡️ uni.koeln/GAPGK #CECAD #AgingResearch #ExcellenceCluster #DFG #HealthyAging @unicologne.bsky.social

This was a great event! Very inspiring and collaborative.

Hurray!!!!! @cecad.bsky.social got another round of funding! Thanks to everyone involved and especially to Carien Niessen!

I highly recommend reading this.

🚨Publication alert! Congratulations to our CRC1678 project leader Jan Riemer and his team @riemerlab.bsky.social on their exciting new publication on DPP8/9 activity monitoring in living cells! 🎉 #MolecularBiology #CRC1678

🔥🔥🔥The stochasticity of biological aging: Read now our Correspondence in @naturemedicine.bsky.social to clarify the roles of stochasticity in aging and in age prediction. We argue that aging clocks are reflecting the very mechanisms of aging. @meyerdh.bsky.social @cecad.bsky.social rdcu.be/ejQv7

🚀 Thrilled to share our latest research! With the labs of Yansheng Liu and Junmin Peng we’ve built the largest in vivo protein turnover resource across multiple tissues and brain regions, now published in Cell @cellpress.bsky.social 🔬💡 #Proteomics Check it out! 👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1koBJL7PXu...

Andreas' long-term collaborator Yansheng Liu and our new lab member Nisha Hemandhar-Kumar @nishahemandhar.bsky.social have together published an amazing map of protein turnover across eight mouse tissues and nine brain regions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Congrats to Yansheng, Nisha!!! 🥂

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with bioinformatic expertise to join our research group @molepi.bsky.social @bds-lumc.bsky.social at the LUMC! More details, including the link to submit applications, are provided on the website below. 🖥️🧪 www.lumc.nl/en/about-lum...

✨How to analyze your LiP-MS data? Together with the @picottilab.bsky.social, inventor of LiP-MS, we have developed a computational framework for the analysis of LiP-MS data www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Makes analysis of LiP-MS data much simpler! Get the R-package: github.com/beyergroup/L...

I am very excited to give a talk at the 2025 Groningen-Jena Aging Meeting. I am looking forward to seeing so many leaders in the field and discuss with the community of students, postdocs, and PIs @leibnizfli.bsky.social www.leibniz-fli.de/g-jam-2025

Together with Andreas Beyer (CECAD), Adam Antebi (MPI-AGE) and Linda Partridge (UCL) we wrote Opinion article in TCB on accumulating data relating age-associated changes in transcriptional elongation with homeostatic deregulation. Feedback welcome! www.cell.com/trends/cell-...

This was a lot of fun with lots of great discussions about science!
