Thrilled to share that our #RNASalon application, #BayeRNA Regensburg has been selected for support by the @rnasociety.bsky.social RNA Society and Lexogen. We look forward to further strengthen connections within the RNA community in Bavaria and highlight RNA research from @uniregensburg.bsky.social

Many proteins bind RNA, yet we still don’t know what RNAs most bind because methods map one RBP at a time. In @cp-cell.bsky.social, with the Jovanovic lab, we describe SPIDR – a method for mapping the RNA binding sites of dozens of RBPs in a single experiment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

At the @University of Regensburg we push the boundaries of RNA research to single molecule and atomic level. With the support of @dfg.de we recently acquired our new @lumicks.bsky.social C-Trap instrument, an advanced optical tweezers platform that enables real-time, single-molecule analysis.

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately

The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Our paper on Stopless-ORF Circular RNAs (socRNAs) is now out in Cell. By high-res tracking and comparing translation by either single or multiple ribosomes, we find that ribosomes cooperate to overcome pausing to ensure fast and efficient translation www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
