New funding to study cell aging, the lysosome and TORC1 in yeast

We are delighted to announce that the laboratory has been awarded new funding to study the relationship between cell aging, the lysosome and TORC1 in yeast. This project is being carried out in collaboration with Prof. Cédric Delporte at ULB’s Faculty of Pharmacy. The initial team made of Dimitrios Zisimopoulos (postdoc) and Charlotte Felten (technician) now includes Chloé Troch (PhD student) and Alexandre Deschamps (pregraduate student). Chloé has completed her Master last year in the laboratory and has been awarded an FNRS “Aspirant” grant. She was also awarded the prize for the best Master’s student – double congratulations to her!
