The Summer School on „Protein import into mitochondria“ took place at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Bonn, from September 01–04, 2025.
A total of 18 young scientists associated with the SPP23453 from all over Germany came together to learn different methods to analyze protein import into mitochondria. The Summer School was featured by exciting experiments, lively poster discussions and interesting guest lectures by Prof. Dr. Thomas Becker (UKB Bonn) and Dr. Daniele Bano (DZNE, Bonn). Besides, there was plenty of time to get to know each other better.
We would like to thank all speakers and participants. It was a great pleasure to have you here in Bonn!
SPP2453 Retreat 2025
A great success!
This year's retreat of the Priority Program SPP2453 „Integration of mitochondria into the cellular proteostasis network” took place at the GenoHotel Forsbach in Rösrath from June 10 to 12, 2025. A total of 66 SPP members and associates discussed their scientific progress in an interactive environment. During the three inspriring days, the PIs gave talks on the current status of their tandem or tridem projects, while the PhD students and Postdocs presented a scientific poster. Exciting guest lectures were given by Prof. Dr. Agnieszka Chacińska, (IMol, Poland), Dr. Dejana Mokranjac (LMU Munich) and Prof. Dr. Paul Schanda (ISTA, Austria). In addition to the scientific program, there was plenty of time for informal interaction.
We would like to thank all speakers and poster presenters for their contributions and three wonderful days of outstanding science. This meeting was a great success and we are already looking forward to next year's retreat!
