It's my great pleasure to present the first preprint from SheqLab: a tech-dev project that we think will transform RNA biology. If you want to discover the cellular factors an RNA interacts with—practically any RNA, in nearly any context—I think you'll want to try O-MAP. (1/19)

Today at the #ArchaeaCentre Regensburg: a beautiful farewell symposium for two heroes in the #Archaea world: Harald Huber and Reinhard Rachel. Lots of fun and many inspiring talks - among others @DaumLaboratory and Ivan Berg. (Don’t ask how I ended up in a archaea costume 😅)

Much enjoyed our panel discussion on the potential and limitations of RNA-based medicine in Leipzig the other day. On stage with Stefanie Dimmeler and Lorenz Meinel and session chair Martin Lohse. Antisense drugs, mRNA vaccines, CRISPR/Cas-based therapy and more.
