Hannes Feyrer defends his thesis
On Friday the 29th of April, our PhD student Hannes Feyrer defends his thesis titled “RNA systems for NMR studies in vitro and in vivo”
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.

Welcome Julie!
Julie is joining the lab as a research coordinator after being a Postdoc at Karolinska Institutet since 2014. Now she’ll be working with us at Biomedicum!
Katja has been elected to the ISMAR council
I hope to contribute to fostering a great scientific environment for the next generation of NMR spectroscopists as part of my work on the ISMAR council
Good bye and Good luck Anurupa and Marvin!
Anurupa has been helping us with administration for the past three years. Thanks for these years and best of luck going forward!
Marvin successfully finished a nine month project for his masters in our group and is now off to finish his master’s degree. Best of luck!
