Today marks the sixth death anniversary of my PhD supervisor Elisa Izaurralde. RIP Elisa.

Our first foray into the fascinating field of DNA repair! Congrats to postdoc Chris Zerio Chris Zerio, who tested hundreds of oligos to identify one that trapped the helicase of human Polymerase θ in the process of annealing two strands of DNA. tinyurl.com/jaddar9u

When paper are referenced of small (membrane) protein targets determined by cryoEM with multiple ligands, this one should definitely come to your mind. 'Already' 6 months old but beautiful work.

💊New Preprint! Here we highlight the potential of natural product-inspired derivatization approaches for drug discovery using our #Dicty and M. marinum infection system !
Great job from twitterless J. Nitschke and Nabil Hanna in collaboration with Emerson lab Faculty of Science | UNIGE

Great News 👍

Congratulations Vincent LOUVEL for this excellent thesis Defense today on optimising the iU-ExM workflow. Such beautiful pictures.

Well done 👏👍

🎭 We were proud to host 'Coffee Machine' by Specta(c)tor, transforming discussions on #workplaceequality at #FacSciUNIGE .

This interactive theatre forum took on #sexistdiscrimination in academia with real audience engagement. Thanks to all who joined and contributed! 💫

BIG NEWS No 3 🥳 I am honored to announce that Patrick Cramer Patrick Cramer has awarded me with a MPG Fellowship to the MPI-CBG Dresden, from January 1st 2024 on. I'd like to thank the many supporters that made this possible.

Coffee breaks just got a bit more enjoyable with personalised coffee/tea mugs from SubAngstrom for our group members. ☕️🫖🍰☺️

Lab’s first preprint🥂! Following our passion for #RNA & #cytoskeleton , we find how tubulins control the stability of their encoding mRNAs via reversible repression of TTC5. Abolishing this repression suppresses tubulin mRNA stability and poisons mitosis👇
