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

Welcome David!

Dr. David Kosek has joined our lab as Postdoctoral Fellow coming from our collaborator Prof. Emma Andersson to continue to share his expertise on microRNA regulation with the lab!

Congratulations on the defense Lara!

Dr. Sweetapple successfully defended her thesis on 18th of June with her opponent Prof. Qi Zhang from the University of North Carolina! Huge congratulations for a great work, clear presentation and engaging discussion. Her thesis: “A biophysical symphony: the interplay of factors determining microRNA-34a activity” has helped towards deciphering the complicated structural influences on microRNA…

Goodbye Snorri and Marco!

Visiting Professor Snorri Sigurdsson from the University of Iceland is now returning home after a great time with us. We want to thank him for his good humour, expertise, and contributions to our lab discussions – with an exciting collaboration which made significant steps during his stay. Furthermore, a big goodbye and thank you to…
