Our latest work is out in @Nature today! Using smFRET, we directly visualized recruitment of the eIF4F complex to the 5' cap of eukaryotic mRNAs and formation of an activated mRNA. Our findings reveal new and surprising roles for each eIF4F component. 1/3 https://t.co/THosKn33fC
#Habilitation done! 🎉 I’m grateful and proud to receive the Privat Dozent title from @unibern, an institution with a special place in my heart. I'll strive to stand as an ambassador of its values in sharing my passion for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. @DCBPunibern

Doubly excited because this work is based on our first Master's student to graduate from the lab, Emilie Bäumlin.

5/ We evaluated Nsp1 previously proposed Nsp1 inhibitors, Montelukast and Mitoxantrone, finding them ineffective against Nsp1’s ability to inhibit translation. 🚫
It's a very special day for me. I am so excited and grateful for this opportunity. My lab will study the role of mRNA translation in human immunity. Reach out if you're interested to join us. @GeneCenter_LMU@LMU_Muenchen

Today we report in @natBME the eePASSIGE system, which uses evolved and engineered recombinases and prime editing to integrate large gene-sized DNA cargoes into the mammalian genome in an efficient, precise, and targeted manner. (1/13)

We’re excited to share our study in @CellCellPress on the role of the MAP3 kinase ZAK in UV-induced apoptosis led by @2primehydroxyl! We studied cell signaling kinetics following UV-damage and found that ZAK drives apoptosis via ribosome collisions. https://t.co/A3RjOkq62k
