Many proteins bind RNA, yet we still don’t know what RNAs most bind because methods map one RBP at a time. In @cp-cell.bsky.social, with the Jovanovic lab, we describe SPIDR – a method for mapping the RNA binding sites of dozens of RBPs in a single experiment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great to see the C-Trap now part of your lab at @uniregensburg.bsky.social! We can’t wait to see the amazing data and RNA research coming out of it!

Single-molecule and RNA enthiusiastics nearby, don’t miss the upcoming Single-Molecule Mini Symposium & C-Trap Launch event! 🎉

At the @University of Regensburg we push the boundaries of RNA research to single molecule and atomic level. With the support of @dfg.de we recently acquired our new @lumicks.bsky.social C-Trap instrument, an advanced optical tweezers platform that enables real-time, single-molecule analysis.

Können #Viren nicht nur schaden, sondern auch nützen? Eine neue Studie kartiert die Billionen Viren, die unseren Körper besiedeln & eine große Rolle für unsere #Gesundheit spielen. So schützen einige mglw. sogar vor Hautkrebs. @tagesspiegel.de berichtet darüber. www.tagesspiegel.de/gesundheit/f...
Forscher starten große Untersuchung: Können Viren uns auch nützlich sein?
Nicht nur Bakterien, auch zahllose Viren leben im menschlichen Körper. Wo genau sie vorkommen und was sie dort tun, das wollen Wissenschaftler jetzt ganz genau wissen.

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.
