I am equally thankful to Daniel Panne and Monika Oberer for their guidance and encouragement throughout.
I would also like to thank my family, friends and colleagues for their support all along the way. 2/3
A special mention to Arjun @arjunrajlab whose generosity with his time and advice helped me navigate challenging times.
We will soon be hiring at all levels, and I look forward to building a lab with an open and welcoming research culture. 3/3

Have you ever wondered how your back formed? The human embryo makes a neural tube (future spinal cord) and somites (trunk muscle/bone) from ~d20. Theyāre formed at the same time and place, so we used human Trunk-like Structures (hTLS) to investigate their āco-developmentā⦠(1/7)

Crosslinks can sometimes improve AlphaFold3 models. Crosslinking is an experimental method often used as a source of distance restraints in modeling. In AlphaFold3, instead of using restraints, crosslinks can be included as covalent ligands. Thanks to @aobarska for the idea.

Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isnāt this damage repaired?
Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.š§¬š„

Extremely grateful to the generous freedom and support of Patrick @mpgpresident for developing this work. A short š§µ below.
A big shout out to the co-authors Thomas, Christiane and Michael @lidschreiber for their contributions. And thank you for reading.
A comprehensive review from @UmbertoAiello @DomenicoLibri and @OPorrua on Sen1. Its timely and complements this work out today: nature.com/articles/s41594-0ā¦ā¦
Our work highly benefitted from the many contributions of Domenico and Odil to understand Sen1's functions in transcription.
From today itās online a review for @JMolBiol that I had the pleasure to write together with @DomenicoLibri and @OPorrua. We have made our best to summarize the current knowledge on one of our favorite proteins: Sen1!
