Congrats David!
Congratulations to David for having his publication on a novel approach for mapping microRNA pairing accepted in Nucleic Acids Research (NAR)
Looking for a new postdoc
We are currently looking for a new postdoc. Please send a 1 page coverletter, 2 page CV, publication record and list of references to katja.petzold@imbim.uu.se if you are interested.
Yeah for Marvin Albers!
Our former MSc student Marvin Albers is in the pre-finals of the Amsterdam Science and Innovation Award. You can vote for ‘grabRNA: Smart RNA delivery enables novel therapeutic strategies’ here: https://www.ixa.nl/amsia-pre-finalist/marvin-albers/
Join Our RNA Biophysics Team at Uppsala University!
We’re looking for 1–2 motivated postdocs to explore RNA regulation and microRNAs in a supportive, international research environment. If you’re excited about using cutting-edge biophysical and structural biology methods (e.g., NMR, RNA probing, SHAPE) to study RNA function and drug design, we’d love to hear from you. Read more here! Location: Uppsala University Start Date:…
Promising new computerized lab members
We are excited about two ‘new members’ that have joined our lab. The PromethION 2 Solo is a nanopore (ONP) sequencer which will perform DNA and RNA sequencing for us. And the InsightCell bioreactor will help us to keep cells alive and happy to perform in-cell NMR. This will enable us to study biomolecules in…
Goodbye Ting, David and Eleni!
We are saying goodbye to Dr. Ting Huang, who worked on miR-based cancer drug design and congratulations on her recently defended her PhD thesis after working with us for five years! Goodbye also to our postdoc David, leaving the lab after evaluating microRNA targeting. Additionally, Eleni is moving on to a new position after working…
Congratulations on your defense Ting!
Big Congratulations to Dr. Huang who successfully defended her thesis “Design of miR-34a mimics shifting the targetome towards HNF4α” on November 29th with Prof. Kotaro Nakanishi from Ohio State University as her opponent. She systematically identifies mir-34a mutants which more efficiently regulate a subset of the original mir-34a targetome, reducing unwanted off-target effects
Yeah: R1ρ on small molecules!
Congratulations to Katja and visiting Prof. Christina Thiele for your article in Angewandte Chemie on the interaction dynamics of an enantioselective peptide catalyzed acylation reaction!
Welcome Eleni!
We are happy to welcome Eleni to our lab as a new research assistant working on the ribosome project!
Congrats Rubin and Walter!
Congratulations Rubin and Walter for their publication in NAR studying the previously unseen arrangement of key nucleotides in the human Argonaute 2 miRNA-mRNA complex
