🥳 Very grateful for the support of the ERC Starting Grant for my newly established lab! We will study how transposable elements contribute to mammalian embryonic development.
We will have positions available next year. Stay tuned!

It's that time of the year - @mdc-berlin.bsky.social Pride Symposium in its 4th edition with great talks and discussions on intersectionality and DEI in general. As Neil Young said on Waldbuehne the other day - "Times are rough, we gotta look out for each other" 🫶 #MdcDiversity

I am heartbroken about the loss of many labs at the Weizmann Institute yesterday in the missile attack. Dear scientists there: please know that you are not alone. Like many many others, I support you and am standing by to help you in any way I can.

Proud to present the peer-reviewed version of our Cell Type Allometry paper, out today in Science Advances!

Are animals of different sizes made of the same cell types?
Here’s an update of the main points and revision items

New online! The regulation and function of post-transcriptional RNA splicing
The regulation and function of post-transcriptional RNA splicing
Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00836-zPost-transcriptional splicing has emerged as a key layer of gene expression regulation but is challenging to differentiate from co-transcriptional splicing. The authors review methodologies to detect post-transcriptional splicing, the mechanisms controlling splicing timing and how the temporal regulation of splicing affects gene expression.

Who does that? We rented a train JUST for the conference, that will take the participants from Prague to the woods of Bohemia. There'll be talks ON THE TRAIN. In Prague we'll have 5 locations with different atmospheres.
