what you always wanted to know about the molecular choreography of nuclear mRNA packaging and export.

thought-provoking review by our colleagues (local or in the RNA community).

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm a bloke who traded investigating nematodes & RNAs for making Art all day every day #NoMoreLabCoatsJustPaintCoats

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @imbmainz.bsky.social in February 2026 to start my own group!
We will explore new mechanisms in eukaryotic gene expression, leveraging ‘evolutionary play’ to uncover how regulation, repurposing, and hijacking shape RNA biology.
PhD positions available!

Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬. Curious? ..Read on!

I'm super happy that our story is now published!

But what changed compared to the original preprint?

Also, I feel i should post Movie 1 🎥, that inspired the cover. Back when I did the original bluesky thread, movies were not available.

Been thinking about creating a collection of good protein structure figures, as inspiration for my own work.
