I will discuss two discoveries that reveal how lysosomes solve these complementary challenges and how their failure creates disease vulnerabilities. First, I will describe Lysosomal Leucine Aminopeptidase (LyLAP), an enzyme specialized to processively degrade the hydrophobic α-helices of transmembrane proteins. LyLAP is highly expressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, where its loss causes hydrophobic peptides to accumulate, compromises lysosomal function, and ultimately leads to cancer cell death, revealing a potential vulnerability in tumors with elevated endocytic activity. I will then describe LASER, a damage-responsive protein assembly that couples lysosomal membrane injury to repair. At its core, the oligomeric protein TFG recognizes LC3/GABARAP proteins conjugated to damaged lysosomes and recruits the ESCRT machinery to restore membrane integrity. Neurodegenerative disease-associated mutations in TFG disrupt this process, linking defective lysosomal repair to human disease. Together, these findings reveal lysosomes as dynamic systems that coordinate cargo degradation with membrane surveillance and repair to maintain cellular homeostasis. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nMore about Dr. Aakriti Jain's lab at UTSW: <a href=\"https://aakritijainlab.com/\">https://aakritijainlab.com/</a></p>", "image_description": "Dr. Aakriti Jain", "creation_date": "2026-08-19T11:24:24", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-21T16:54:33", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/7467019292", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr. Aakriti Jain, UTSW", "organizer": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos", "contact": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "ESCRT, Lysosomal repair, organelle dynamics, Lysosomal Leucine Aminopeptidase, transmembrane protein degradation", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121477/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72649, "title": "Sustainable Labs: Get Involved", "slug": "sustainable-labs-get-involved-3", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/sustainable-labs-get-involved-3", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33911/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33911/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33911/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-15", "end_date": "2026-12-24", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:00:00", "description": "<br>\r\nThe <strong>EPFL Sustainable Labs team</strong> is pleased to welcome you to its recurring <strong>\"Sustainable Labs: Get Involved\"</strong> sessions.

However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFrom <strong>October 8 to December 17, 2026</strong>, the <strong>Sustainable Labs: Get Involved</strong> sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>.

We leverage optogenetics, mechanical perturbations, and modeling to reveal a mechanochemical long-range mutual activation between front and back polarity programs that complements their known local mutual inhibition. Rac-driven protrusions increase membrane tension, triggering mTORC2-dependent Rho activation at the opposite side of the cell. Conversely, Rho-mediated contractility induces cortical-flow regulation of phosphoinositide signaling, promoting distal Rac activation. Our findings demonstrate how the actin cortex and plasma membrane interact as an integrated mechanochemical system for long-range Rac-Rho patterning. Efficient migration also requires polarized organization of the cell interior, with organelle positioning increasingly recognized as a key determinant of cell movement. Yet how this organization is established remains unclear. Building on our mechanochemical framework, we now investigate how actin-generated forces position organelles during migration and how disruption of this intracellular organization contributes to disease.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWebsite of the De Belly lab: <a href=\"https://cri.utsw.edu/faculty/henry-de-belly/\">https://cri.utsw.edu/faculty/henry-de-belly/</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis is part of the Physics of Living Systems monthly symposium: <a href=\"https://pols.epfl.ch/physics-of-living-systems-seminars/monthly-symposium/\">https://pols.epfl.ch/physics-of-living-systems-seminars/monthly-symposium/</a></p>", "image_description": "Dr. Henry De Belly, UTSW", "creation_date": "2026-08-19T11:02:03", "last_modification_date": "2026-08-19T12:10:32", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/7467019292", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr. Henry De Belly, UTSW", "organizer": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos, EPFL", "contact": "Dr. Juan Manuel García-Arcos, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Mechanobiology, cell signalling, cell migration, mTORC2, Rho GTPases, cellular organization", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121471/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72462, "title": "EPFL BioEngineering Talks", "slug": "epfl-bioengineering-talks-4", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/epfl-bioengineering-talks-4", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33710/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33710/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33710/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-19", "end_date": "2026-10-19", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "<p>Weekly BioEngineering Talks (Lunch Provided)<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>INVITED SPEAKERS:</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Organic electrochemical transistors for enhanced potentiometric sensing of neurochemicals</strong><br>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/emily.schafer?lang=en\">Dr. Emily Schafer,</a> </strong>EPFL Laboratory of Chemical Nanotechnology<br>\r\nHost: <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nako.nakatsuka\">Prof. Nako Nakatsuka</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nFollowed by<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Data-driven protein engineering for sensing and biosynthesis of new-to-nature thioesters</strong><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/sebastian.barthel?lang=en\"><strong>Dr. Sebastian Barthel</strong>,</a> EPFL Laboratory of Synthetic and Applied Microbiology <br>\r\nHost: <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/markus.jeschek\">Prof. Markus Jeschek</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>BioEngineering Talks mandatory EDBB Seminar Attendance (1st-Year PhD Students)</strong>\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li> Attendance sheet to print <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kusGxCFPAvWaRD8eUGEBkSVzD1ppMf1g/edit\" target=\"_blank\">HERE </a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>The BioEngineering Student Seminar Series</strong> is an official course for which students can register and earn credits.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Register <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://edu.epfl.ch/studyplan/fr/ecole_doctorale/biotechnologie-et-genie-biologique/coursebook/bioengineering-student-seminar-series-BIOENG-613\" target=\"_blank\">HERE</a></li>\r\n\t<li>Attendance sheet to print <a class=\"text-link\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZGrPnt8LlLuWOApzx32s6L5UPPH8Hyoo/edit\" target=\"_blank\">HERE</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>General information:</strong><br>\r\nIn-person attendance is preferred to support your fellow students.

In the first, I'll examine how the presence of co-habiting microbes profoundly affects the biology of a human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This is important, because in diseased human airways - where P. aeruginosa is an unwelcome, but common inhabitant - the pathogen invariably shares the infection site with a variety of other microbes. It turns out that these microbial neighbours interact with one another and that these interactions are perturbed by the loss of a quorum sensing \"master regulator\" (LasR) in P. aeruginosa. In the second \"short\", I'll talk about how we are now able to manipulate the rate of evolution of the organism, either by \"stepping on the gas pedal\" or by \"slamming on the brakes\". The ability to do this, in an experimentally-controlled manner, is allowing us to access some novel evolutionary trajectories, and to address some truly fundamental biological questions. Finally, I'll take a fresh look at bacterial biofilms and in particular, examine whether the exopolysaccharide \"bioglue\" that holds these structures together might have additional - possibly more important roles. It turns out that it does, and that the exopolysaccharide matrix acts as a \"net\" to selectively sequester secreted proteins, potentially conferring novel functionalities on the biofilm.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBrief Speaker Bio. <br>\r\nAfter reading for a degree in Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, Martin completed a PhD on bacterial chemotaxis at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel), where he was awarded the Wolf Prize for his contributions to the field. Leavuing Israel with a PhD and a [German] wife, he then moved to Toulouse (supported by a long-term EMBO fellowship) where he learned the dark art of x-ray crystallography and solved the structure of a signaling complex involved in bacterial chemotaxis. He then moved back to the UK to take up a post-doctoral position at the University of Cambridge working on quorum sensing in the fascinating plant pathogen, Pectobacterium atrosepticum. There, he developed skills in molecular genetics and demonstrated (for the first time) that quorum sensing molecules bind directly to their cognate LuxR homologs in a range of bacteria. This advance allowed him to secure a Royal Society University Research Fellowship to start his own group - where he learned the hard way that prospective students don't like any project with the word \"plant\" in, and when offered projects on the plant pathogen <em>versus </em>a mammalian pathogen, always went for the latter. Since around 2000, his team's focus has been on understanding better the link between metabolism and virulence in the opportunistic human pathogen, <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>.

In the study of the cell nucleus, SMLM has offered unique insights into its organization and function at the nanoscale. Nuclear architecture is structured across multiple spatial scales in three dimensions and is highly dynamic. Understanding the mechanisms that govern nuclear organization therefore requires imaging approaches capable of capturing molecular dynamics across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales and in diverse biological contexts. Although SMLM can routinely achieve spatial resolutions in the tens-of-nanometers range, many biologically relevant structures and processes remain beyond its reach. For example, resolving the precise organization of DNA at the molecular scale remains challenging, as it would require a substantial improvement in spatial resolution over conventional SMLM, while also addressing the high density and degree of molecular compaction within the nucleus. <br>\r\nOver the years, we have developed complementary strategies to address these challenges by introducing additional dimensions and observables into SMLM measurements. In this presentation, I will first discuss our approaches to three-dimensional single-molecule imaging, including multifocus microscopy and volumetric light-sheet excitation, which enable fast and sensitive imaging over extended volumes and in complex biological samples such as cell colonies. While these approaches provide access to the three-dimensional and temporal dimensions required to investigate nuclear organization, spatial resolution alone is not always sufficient to distinguish molecular arrangements. We have therefore extended SMLM further by implementing polarization-resolved multifocus microscopy (PolMFM), which combines three-dimensional localization with information on molecular orientation.<br>\r\nI will illustrate how these multidimensional approaches can provide new insights into nuclear organization, with examples spanning different biological systems. In particular, I will present evidence for a long-range, crystal-like organization of DNA within the nuclei of mature sperm cells from crickets, demonstrating how multidimensional imaging can reveal structural features that remain inaccessible to conventional localization microscopy.<br>\r\nFinally, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with visualizing, analyzing, and interactively exploring the multidimensional datasets generated by these approaches. Together, these developments illustrate how extending SMLM beyond conventional two-dimensional localization can provide new ways to interrogate the organization and dynamics of biological systems at the nanoscale.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>Bio:</strong></u><br>\r\nBassam Hajj is a physicist and CNRS researcher at Institut Curie in Paris, where he is a member of the Physics of Cells and Cancer unit and co-leads the “Light-based Observation and Control of Cellular Organization” team.
