We are moving to Biomedicum
On April 10th we are moving to our new lab in KI’s new Biomedicum building. Come by and visit us there!
Our research group is interested in understanding how RNAs change their structures in order to perform function. Until recently, only snapshots of molecules could be observed, hiding their mode of operation. We employ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and other biophysical techniques, to investigate the molecular mechanism of RNA function. When function of these molecular machines becomes apparent, it also provides a variety of unique new drug targets. The lab develops methods in NMR and RNA biochemistry to address these questions. Current projects include viral, bacterial and eukaryotic regulatory RNAs, e.g. microRNAs, ribosomal RNAs or RNA from HBV.

EMBO conference on RNA structure and function
We are doing the 2nd EMBO workshop on RNA structure and function in the Stockholm Archipelago on July 01–04, 2018.
Katja receives the AMPERE price
Katja receives the AMPERE Prize for Young Investigators and will give a prize lecture at this years Euromar in Nantes.
SELOPE – Dynamics on unlabeled RNAs
Our method development paper “Efficient detection of structure and dynamics in unlabeled RNAs: the SELOPE approach” is accepted to Chemistry. Congratulations to Judith, Emilie and Hampus for a great work!
