Motori Lab

We study mitochondria, neurometabolism and neurodegeneration.
Our lab is located at the University of Cologne, Germany.

@ElenaRugarli Great news! Thanks Elena for your amazing work and fantastic support. Looking forward!

[Motori Lab @LabMotori]

Happy to share this great news!!!
Looking forward the next four years to come, working on the very exciting topic of how mitochondria regulate cell function!
As usual, we will keep a special focus on brain 🧠

📣Congratulations to all of us! 🎉🎉🎉

The #CRC1218 is funded by the DFG for another four years! This collaborative grant will foster exciting discoveries on how #mitochondria regulate cell function.

A big day for the Cologne mitochondrial community! The #CRC1218 is funded by the DFG for another four years! This collaborative grant will foster exciting discoveries on how #mitochondria regulate cell function. Thank you to all colleagues, postdocs, and PhD students involved.

How do axons maintain functional #mitochondria? Happy to share our last #CLUH story. #ScienceAdvancesResearch https://t.co/swo4spv9s6

We are very happy to share our work

Weak neuronal glycolysis sustains cognition and organismal fitness

which is out today in open access at @NatMetabolism !!

A great effort led by #DaniJimenezBlasco and an excellent group of collaborators !!

Very happy to be part of such a great story from @RobertaFilogra2
and @mitopinionated! A clear example that also negative data are needed to progress our scientific knowledge.

[Roberta Filograna @RobertaFilogra2]

Our study is finally out! https://t.co/RYUgW9J8ow
We here show that PARKIN is dispensable for OXPHOS function in adult mouse tissues and in skeletal muscle from a PD-patient.
Thanks to @mitopinionated , @LabMotori, @perlmannlab and Per Svenningsson for the great collaboration!

@ETH_DBIOL @tatjana_kleele @czi Congrats Tatjana, fully deserved!!!

[Camilla Franchino @CamiFranchino]

Excited to share our highlight on this incredible work by Zorzano and Scorrano's groups! Check it out now! 📚

@ScienceAdvances published our paper in which we asked: "Where does all the sugar go in the brain?" ...it's less the size of the brain, than slow chemical signaling, 4 main findings below 🧵

PostDoc opportunity!
We are looking for an enthusiastic #PostDoc to study how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease.

Remember we were travelling a few weeks ago to look at possible destinations for our # glia2027. You guessed right, we were in #Italy, namely #Bologna + #Rimini. The decision has been made. #gliameeting goes to Bologna 🎉 We look forward to enjoying La Dolce Vita with you!
