Come to Bochum 🌱 — we’d love to host all #plantscience peeps!
From biotic interactions 🦠 to #proteostasis ♻️ and development 🌿, there’s something for everyone. Looking forward to inspiring science & great conversations ✨

It can promote resistance, susceptibility, or restrict cell death 🤯
So what is its actual role?
We show it acts as a spatial organizer of immunity across cell types 🌱🦠 #proteostasis

So excited to finally share this😃
It will be the first title - as it seems to inspire everybody 😊 #preprint submission ongoing 🤩
It took me an entire day but was worth it - get back to your old hobbies, it‘s amazing 💚
Perfect easter weekend occupation #sciart
yesterday we kicked off the celebrations (hopefully many more to come☺️) with our favorite lab drink - espresso martini - my alternative career plan was approved by @shanshuo.bsky.social 😅
Registration now open! 2026 #EMBO #Ubiquitin Workshop set in stunning Monopoli, Puglia 🇮🇹
Cutting edge science, great speakers, short talk opportunities, travel awards
Limited spaces. Dont miss out - register early!
Registration & more info: meetings.embo.org/event/26-ubi...
The feeling of getting super excited because you’re about to finish — and soon preprint — a paper you’ve been working with @shanshuo.bsky.social on for 5 years… indescribable 🥳. #preprint 🌱 #PlantScience #autophagy ♻️ #immunity #proteostasis #ERCStG #theustunlab
Spring in full swing in Germany 🌱🌸
…and in our minds too—new ideas, fresh energy, exciting science ahead and soon a new #preprint from @theustunlab.bsky.social #SpringVibes #PlantScience #theustunlab
Who wants some fantastic #proteostasis cookies (made by our bachelor student Nea)? So great to celebrate recent accepted papers in the group - hope we can continue celebrating our own little achievements 🤗 #theustunlab
Manuel González-Fuente from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum will tell us how bacteria exploit plant P-bodies to attenuate host translation during infection
#MBP2026
Check out Manuel's work on P-bodies and biotic stress

#MBP2026
Now our very own @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social from @theustunlab.bsky.social who will talk about his exciting findings on how bacteria exploit P-body condensates to attenuate immune-related protein translation (see also our preprint below 👇) #MBP2026 #proteostasis

On our way to the #MBP2026 meeting @theustunlab.bsky.social member @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk about P-bodies/immunity & @seedbarrett.bsky.social will present his project on P-bodies/ABA - since we all 💚 P-body condensates they also made it on our updated logo 😅

We recently celebrated the 7th anniversary of @theustunlab.bsky.social with a barbecue! Our journey began in Tübingen 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 challenges—both inside & outside the lab—but after all I’m grateful that I still find joy in what I do. #happybirthday #theustunlab
Job alert 📣 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 🌱 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 “spatial and temporal session” 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 ➡️ P-432 #proteostasis

Happy to meet you at poster no. P-405 and to talk about my project at #2025ISMPMI this afternoon! 🌿
