🔬 Barral Lab @ ETH Zürich 🧬
Exploring the fundamental principles of cellular organization and aging. From decision-making to aging and eukaryotic genome protection, we uncover how cells maintain integrity and make life-defining decisions. 🚀
🏆 Best Oral Presentation in Mycology
Congratulations to our PhD student, Théodore Bourquard, recognized at the 2025 Swiss Society for Microbiology annual meeting for an outstanding talk. Bravo, Théodore! 👏 #Mycology #Microbiology

🚨 New from the Barral Lab in eLife! 🚨

Congrats to our postdoc, Dr. Mihailo Mirkovic, on his reviewed preprint! 🎉 Aging yeast lose chromosomes due to NPC remodeling & pre-mRNA leakage.

👋I’m Jordan McCarthy, a PhD researcher in the Barral Lab at ETH Zürich, studying how cells age using microfluidic chips and bioreactors—basically running a cellular retirement home.

Outside the lab, I’m an amazing cook, a decent stock trader, and a terrible singer. Follow us and say hi!
