Into (r)RNA modifications? Check out the new review article by Eva Maria Novoa and me, out today in Trends Cell Biology!

Join the Hallegger Lab in Oxford! Two post-doc positions available on how altered condensation of TDP-43 changes RNA metabolism. Biophysics of protein-RNA condensates and neuronal transcriptomics:

Grateful to UCSD for sharing our story "Key Pathway Leading to Neurodegeneration in Early Stages of ALS Identified" today.ucsd.edu/story/key-path…

Looks like the science twitter mass migration to Bluesky is gaining more traction in recent days! Join us there! Together we can make science twitter great again 😁. You can find me under this handle: mardakheh.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/mardak…

Hi Science friends and followers - its time to move to Bluesky. Over the past 2 weeks the number of my followers has doubled from ~200 to ~400 with alsmot all of them scientists. We have starter packs (designated lists of who to follow e.g. by research fields).

It's our great pleasure to share our work on the role of CADASIL NOTCH3 mutations in the development of DNMT3A-related Clonal Hematopoiesis. Published now in Leukemia Journal Huge congrats to Raúl Sánchez-Lanzas!!! Many thanks to Leukaemia UK Medical Research Council nature.com/articles/s4137…

Promising new treatment approach for severe COVID-19! Clinical trial with Fas ligand blocker shows faster recovery & reduced mortality. Approach targets immune overreaction, potentially effective against future viruses too. #COVID19 #Science #PublicHealth t.ly/6kalU

Excited to share our latest work published in collaboration with Huakun Zhang’s group on how RNA structure regulates subgenomic RNA decay in wheat ⁦Building Robustness in Crops⁩ ⁦John Innes Centre⁩ ⁦⁦Haopeng Yu⁩ nature.com/articles/s4146…

Looking for #mechanobiology enthusiasts for an exciting new project - apply and spread the word! 🤩

Exciting study by Amanda Andersson Rolf et al: In vitro expansion of a human fetal #pancreas #stemcell that generates all three pancreatic cell lineages”. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/

Johnny Yu, Nima Alidoust, Kevan Shokat, and I are excited to announce a historic achievement by our team at Vevo Therapeutics: Tahoe-100M, a 100M single-cell transcriptomic atlas, measuring how thousands of drugs impact cells from 50 diverse cancer lines. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Our Unit Director Prof Anne Willis has been awarded the prestigious John Barnes Prize Award from the British Toxicology Society. This prize was established in memory of the pioneering toxicologist and first Unit Director, Dr John Barnes. See more here: buff.ly/3D3BJoZ

Our latest from the indefatigable Johnny Yu in collaboration with Jonathan Weissman's Lab and Kevan Shokat. Meet GENEVA, which enables simultaneous phenotyping and profiling of cancer cell drug responses at scale; both in vitro and in vivo across a variety of models: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I don’t post here much anymore, but this one is an important announcement for us: 🚨We are Recruiting! So come join us! 🚨#RNA #CancerResearch

The Barr lab Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University has discovered the important role of cell division timing mechanisms in the formation of cancer. The research, funded by Cancer Research UK, provides valuable insight into how damaged cells are normally stopped from growing. ⬇️bit.ly/202502-barr

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated postdoc with cell or molecular biology expertise. Excellent #epigenetics, #chromatin training & networking opportunities @qmulepigenetics DM me for inquiries pl apply/share tinyurl.com/m6jnksk5
