The PetzoldLab received the ERC-AdG for the project DynaMech

We are thrilled to share that the European Research Council has awarded the Petzold Lab an Advanced Grant. This five-year project (DynaMech), will allow us to study the impact of RNA dynamics on cellular function, by measuring it directly in the cell.

Big congrats to Henry and Katja for acceptance of their NAR paper

Do you need RNase stable RNAs? Circularize them! The structure is maintained and often the dynamics too. AND – plot twist – if not, than you find that the otherwise boring A-form RNA helices actually have a function: Long-distance transport of dynamic information, otherwise called Allostery. Congrats Katja and Henry!!
