15/11/2023 We are honored to announce that the Society for Endocrinology has awarded Prof. Kristina Schoonjans the 2023 European Medal for her work on bile acid signaling. Congratulations and thanks to all her collaborators and colleagues who have contributed to this achievement!
09/10/2023 A very warm welcome to Mafalda Arnaud who will join our lab as a lab immersion trainee! Welcome to the team!
16/08/2023 Today, we welcome a new Master student in the lab! Welcome to Lucie Le Barbenchon!
06/03/2023 Today, Ece Yildiz published a new study in eLife describing the role of hepatic lipid overload in biliary epithelial cell activation. Congratulations Ece!
01/10/2022 Today, our lab received a prestigious SNSF grant. Congratulations to the whole team!
15/09/2022 Today we welcome a new Ph.D. student to our team. A very warm welcome to Adrien Faure who will be working on liver intermediary metabolism!
12/09/2022 Today our lab publishes a new study in Cell Metabolism describing how genetics and diet control bile acid homeostasis. Congratulations to Hao Li and Alessia Perino. The data can be explored through a new app at: http://systems-genetics.org/BXD_BA
26/08/2022 Congratulations to Dr. Nadia Bresciani who brilliantly defended her thesis today!
14/06/2022 Today Nadia Bresciani and Hadrien Demagny publish a new study in which they reveal the fundamental role of the Slc25a47 locus in hepatic metabolism. This work was published in the Journal of Hepatology.
27/03/2022 Today a review article is published by @SchoonjansLab in Nature metabolism about the role of bile acid signaling in the regulation of energy homeostasis. We describe the history of bile acids and their function as metabolic gatekeepers through the activation of TGR5 and FXR. Congrats to Alessia Perino!
20/01/2022 Today, we welcome a new postdoc in our lab. A very warm welcome to Sulagna Mukherjee!

17/09/2020Congratulations to Giovanni Sorrentino who managed to publish two exciting papers in 2020, despite the COVID! His first paper describes how mechano-modulatory synthetic niches can help to derive liver organoids. The second paper explains how bile acids promote regeneration of the intestinal epithelium via activation of TGR5 in intestinal stem cells.
01/03/2020 2020 is starting very well for the Schoonjans lab as our team was just awarded, together with Prof. Matthias Lutolf, a Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Foundation grant in the fields of metabolism and nutrition.
01/10/2019 The Schoonjans lab obtained a highly competitive SNSF grant to study the role of the bile acid receptor TGR5 in stem cells.
