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!
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
We’re welcoming our new postdoctoral researcher Dr. Jayanti Vaishnav who is joining us to work on ribosome dyamics and in-cell NMR.
Katja Petzold has been awarded the 2025 Eric K. Fernström Swedish Prize for her and the whole lab’s contribution to fundamental knowledge and understanding of structural biology and the dynamics of RNA at the molecular level. Congratulations!

We are happy to welcome two new M.Sc. students to our lab: Zineb from Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) and Riccardo from Uppsala University. Welcome!
We are excited to share our new preprint on ChemRxiv! In this study, we introduce a method to boost the sensitivity of RNA NMR by attaching a special spin label (AsymPol) directly to RNA. This enables selective signal enhancement, opening possibilities for studying RNA structure and function even at very low concentrations.

We’re welcoming our new postdoctoral researcher Dr. Balasubramanian Harish who is joining us to work on microRNA targeting and RNA structural probing.
