Congratulations to Joanna and Rubin!
Congratulations to Joanna and Rubin for their latest paper, in collaboration with the Aguilo Lab, which has just been accepted for publication in Cancer Letters! The study uncovers a complex interplay between FBL, rRNA 2′-O-methylation, and RPS28 in shaping the translation of specific oncoproteins and ribosomal composition in triple-negative breast cancer.Well done to everyone involved!
Welcome Aliki!
We are happy to welcome Aliki Karafotia as a new M.Sc. student to our lab. Welcome!
New preprint!
We are excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv! In this study, we identify a new intermediate in WCF to HG transition and show that 1H R1ρ can be used even when NOE’s are present. Read more: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.03.677141v1
Welcome Rosalie!
We are happy to welcome Rosalie to our lab as a new research assistant!
Welcome Jayanti!
We’re welcoming our new postdoctoral researcher Dr. Jayanti Vaishnav who is joining us to work on ribosome dyamics and in-cell NMR.
