- Beautiful story from the labs of @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social and Clemens Plaschka on how Piwi silences transposons, solving the long-standing mystery of what happens upon target engagement - a topic still close to my heart 💙 Big congrats to Júlia and the whole team 🎉
- 📰 New paper alert! In a collaborative project with the lab of Clemens Plaschka at the IMP, the lab of Julius Brennecke has revealed how PIWI proteins kickstart transposon silencing in reproductive cells. The findings are published in Molecular Cell: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- I am excited to announce that we are looking for a Lab Manager @fmiscience.bsky.social in Basel. If you want to be part of a growing team investigating development and tissue formation, and are enthusiastic about helping set up a new lab, please check out the role: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...
- 🚨 Job Alert: we seek a Lab Manager for @juliabatki.bsky.social's new group (start Mar 2026), which will study cell fate regulation during organ development. Join the Batki's group to drive experiments & lab operations! Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...
- I am excited to share that I will join the Friedrich Miescher Institute @fmiscience.bsky.social in Basel as a group leader, starting my lab in March 2026 🎉 We will explore cell fate regulation during organogenesis, with a focus on how cell elimination underlies the emergence of functional tissues.
