What a joy to defend my PhD and kiss the Gänseliesel last Friday! Crazy to think that this is the moment I've been working towards since setting foot in the Department as a small Master's student in 2020. Thanks to Stefan and all the Jakobs lab members past and present who were part of this journey!

Truly mind-blowing how a novel cellular structure hid right behind our noses - and an impressive journey from initial observation to mechanism!

New paper where we report that Npc2 - a shuttle-like lipid transfer protein - in yeast directly transports sphingolipids to the = vacuole membrane during formation of microautophagy-linked ordered domains #lipidtime www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Going through some old microscopy data, and I have to say - I maintain that #mitochondria are the most beautiful organelles, but the #ER might be a very close second. #FluorescenceFriday Live HeLa cells, ER imaged by STED, mitochondria with confocal.

What a pleasure to present my PhD project at the 77th Mosbacher Kolloquium @gbmev.bsky.social! I had a great time at this wonderful meeting and learned so many new, exciting and wonderful things!
