Anna Pfitzner Anna Pfitzner receives the Birnstiel Award for her PhD work that unravelled the mechanism by which ESCRT-III remodels membranes! @NCCR_ChemBio Faculty of Science | UNIGE UNIGE_en Congrats to her and all awardees! imp.ac.at/news/article/i…

Super cool movies of in vitro sliding MTs at different ATP concentrations from this year’s cytoskeleton practical course. I am amazed every time again!🤩🧪🔬

Did you ever wondered how cell membrane tension evolved during osmotic shocks? The answer is counter-intuitively simple and quantitative. Congrats to Chloé Roffay for her first paper! Great collaboration with Lenz Lab and GuckLab 🇺🇦 ! Faculty of Science | UNIGE UNIGE_en biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In our ongoing series of sharing #BirnstielAward acceptance talks, we nod at #InternationalWomensDay with Anna Pfitzner's (Roux Lab, UNIGE_en) "Sequential polymerisation of ESCRT-III subunits drive membrane deformation and fission". youtu.be/JXGGT5RrJs4

Principles of membrane remodeling by dynamic ESCRT-III polymers sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thesis celebration 🥳 This tuesday, Anna Pfitzner from Roux Lab succesfully defended her thesis "Membrane remodeling by dynamic ESCRT-III polymers" 😀 Congratulation Dr. Pfitzner, we wish you all the best for the future 😁

Starting PhD ... ... ending PhD!

Et voilà 🥳 Check out the last chapter of my PhD work in Roux Lab done together with the brilliant Master student Henry Zivkovic biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My first preprint! We combined chemical kinetics with elasticity to study the dynamic assembly/disassembly of shape-shifting composite filaments that sculpt cell membranes 🌀 Joint forces with Andela Saric @ivanpla, @Lab_Baum and Roux Lab Anna Pfitzner ➡️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to Anna-Katharina Pfitzner Anna Pfitzner, PhD student Roux Lab, one of the four winners of the #PrixSchläfli 2022 in #naturalsciences. She has researched a mechanism that is key to many processes in cell #biology. scnat.ch/en/awards/schl…

I am honored to receive the #PrixSchläfli 2022!Thank you to SCNAT for selecting my thesis work and shout-out a to my collaborators and my colleagues from Roux Lab

Vps60 initiates alternative ESCRT-III filaments rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Pfitzner, Zivkovic et al. Roux Lab UNIGE_en characterize a novel membrane-bound ESCRT-III copolymer initiated by Vps60 that are spatially & biochemically distinct from classical Snf7-based ESCRT-III filaments in vitro & may have diverse functions in vivo. bit.ly/46dKlmD

In this work Anna Pfitzner, Henry Zivkovic and César Bernat 🇵🇸, in collaboration with the Odorizzi lab in Boulder, show that Chmp5/Vps60 can form ESCRT-III filaments like Snf7, suggesting that distinct ESCRT-III filaments can perform similar functions. Faculty of Science | UNIGE UNIGE_en
