Who we are

We investigate ubiquitin signaling in cellular quality control and organelle dynamics. Our research focuses on ubiquitin-dependent mechanisms that control the function and communication of key organelles, particularly lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria, and their turnover via selective autophagy. By uncovering these pathways, we aim to reveal how cells maintain homeostasis and how their disruption contributes to human disease.

We love the acronym AURORA (Autophagy, Ubiquitin, and ORganelle Regulation & Adaptation), which we associate with dynamic movement, regulation, energy, and light (...microscopy).

We celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive, respectful, and collaborative lab environment. Our work is guided by integrity, openness, and the belief that science flourishes through teamwork and shared curiosity.
