Excited about RNA regulation in neurodegeneration? We’re looking for two postdocs to join us! 🌟 #RNA #postdoc #neurodegeneration #ALS #CMT

How are thousands of transcripts are localised within the cells? Happy to share my review on RNA localization @NatureCellBio #RNA nature.com/articles/s41556-0…
Excited to be elected as @RNASociety Director! Congrats to co-elected Directors @AndrzejDziembo1 and @BeAScientist, and President-Elect Fatima @GebauerLab!
Congratulations Fátima Gebauer (Centre for Genomic Regulation, Spain) on being elected as President-Elect of the RNA Society! Fátima will serve as RNA Society President for the two-year term spanning 2025-2026.
Congratulations also to Marina Chekulaeva (Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology, Germany), Andrzej Dziembowski (International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, Poland), and Olivia Rissland (University of Colorado, USA) who were elected to serve as RNA Society Directors for the two-year term spanning 2025-2026!
Had a fantastic time at the Sino-German meeting in Regensburg, co-organized by @ClausDKuhn & @MeisterLab. The speaker lineup was outstanding - a huge thank you for putting it together!

Thrilled to present at the fantastic meeting in Geneva co-organized by @peihsuanwu1 and @Ivana_Gasic ige3.unige.ch/news-events/an…
Big congrats to @RappsilberLab, @GreenLabJHMI, Julia Mahamid, and @jankosinski on securing the ERC Synergy grant - what an exciting research topic! #ERCSynergyGrant
Check out this preprint by @GreenLabJHMI and @jingdongcheng on the role of LARP1 in controlling ribosomal protein production!
Check out our new preprint in collaboration with @jingdongcheng lab about how LARP1 senses the abundance of non-translating ribosomes to help cells decide whether or not to make ribosomal proteins!

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”
Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.
Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Fellow PIs, curious to hear your thoughts: how many of you actively contribute to experiments/analyses in your own projects? And if you do, how do you decide where to pitch in?

Our manuscript published @MolecularCell revises the current mRNA localization model and showcases that a high mRNA half-life in neurons is a reliable predictor of localization to neurites.
mRNA stability and m6A are major determinants of subcellular mRNA localization in neurons dlvr.it/StBdYt
Great postdoc opportunity alert!
*We are hiring (again)*
#ERC funded 4-year #postdoc Position @UniCologne to study how ribosomes control embryonic cell fate decision combining hiPSC-based models including cardiac organoids and methods including targeted CRISPR screens, eCLIP-seq, Ribo-seq, etc.
Please RT 🙏
Congratulations to the whole team on their story exploring the impact of ribosome modification on cell fate decisions! 🎉
it was a blast teaming up with @SigmaJuly @AndersHLund @therealLundLab on this story about diverging paths of ribosome modification in development 🤩
...from the earliest lineage specifications to neuronal fates!
congrats to the whole team 🥳
🙌 Outstanding job by @ILoedige, the first author of our latest @MolecularCell paper! Crafted a compelling press release for her own work, skillfully showing how mRNA stability is key in neuronal mRNA localization.
New results by @chekulae, researcher at the #mdcBerlin with funding from @dfg_public's "Heisenberg Program", show that we might need a new model that explains #RNA transport in #neurons. The findings were recently published in @MolecularCell. @BIMSB_MDC 👇
