Popped the champagne 🍾 last week in Groningen to celebrate that my paper (with the effort of so many incredible people) got accepted Nature Cell Biology. More soon on when it will be published!

Shoutout to anyone that moves to another country to follow their dreams. Adapting to lang/env/cultural differences whilst studying/researching is mind blowing. It can be difficult for those who have never done this to appreciate just how big that is, it's incredibly impressive.

With immense pride I post here that my paper is published in Nature Cell Biology! nature.com/articles/s4155… We show that the chaperone DNAJB6 is involved in the biogenesis of nuclear pore complexes, and the maintenance of the disordered proteins that make up the transport barrier

There's also a nice News & Views on both our work and the co-submitted paper from Christian Schlieker nature.com/articles/s4155… Written by @KirsteinLab

Always interesting to read about new findings on heat shock proteins

ChatGPT for biology? Excited to share our work on LLMs for protein design out today Nature Biotechnology nature.com/articles/s4158… + Proud to publicly announce Profluent with a $9M seed round to tackle meaningful challenges in biology with AI. Join us!

Happy to share our last article in Nature Communications We determined the #CryoEM structure of full-length hnRNPDL-2 fibrils, a human functional #amyloid associated with a rare muscular dystrophy, with Stefano Ricagno & M. Bolognesi Key findings below (1/5) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our article (with Dirk Görlich, Simone Reber Abin Biswas ) is just online: nature.com/articles/s4146… we systematically engineered and tested a wide range of phase-separating FG repeat domains in nuclear pores for years, now we report this interesting story #biocondensate

In our latest perspective article, we discuss NPC assembly in the context of human disorders: Coordinating nucleoporin condensation and nuclear pore complex assembly - Kuiper - FEBS Letters - Wiley Online Library febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/18…

It's out! Read here our perspective in FEBS Letters on the recent findings in the field of nucleoporin condensation and nuclear pore complex assembly and how this might link to neurological disorders doi.org/10.1002/1873-3…

Started from the 1st of October in the The Wilfling Lab Max Planck Institute of Biophysics where I will continue my research on nuclear pore complexes and their quality control 🔬🧫 exciting things to come!

This Friday from 17-22h: Night of Science! Max Planck Institute of Biophysics two of us will give a talk: Fabian on how cells get rid of their waste, and Els Kuiper on how our cells stay healthy with age. More of us will be there to make ice cream and do small experiments 🧪🍦 don't miss it!

It was great to contribute to the Night of Science! 🧪 We opened the doors of our institute Max Planck Institute of Biophysics for an evening and it was really amazing to see so many people interested in science, and to share a small peek into our research The Wilfling Lab

Chaperones explained🔬🤓

In the upcoming weeks, we will have a workshop in the fields of nuclear pore complex, protein quality control, and intrinsically disordered proteins. We have an awesome list of confirmed speakers and we still have a few registration spots left! Looking forward 🤓🇳🇱

Incredibly grateful to be part of EMBO Fellows which enabled me to attend the Self-leadership for Women course. The insights, empowerment, and connections gained are invaluable! We're ready to contribute to a stronger, more inclusive scientific community. #WomenInScience
