First lab paper out! 🥳 Check out our spotlight on recent work by @jbdsf.bsky.social & team (Nature 2026) who found how a phage anti-CRISPR protein directs mRNA degradation of bacterial Cas12 to fight the host immune response: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Thanks @julsportell.bsky.social !

A lab is nothing without its people and their passion, ideas and enthusiasm they bring! Welcome to the Höpfler lab Laia Torres Masdeu & Mariana Magalhães Ribeiro, who started a PhD, and to Stefania Androulaki who is our new lab manager! Looking forward to all the exciting science ahead!

Farewell to the brave Ekin Yildiz! Joining as a summer student he fearlessly cloned the first plasmids in the Hopfler lab! All the best for the future!

I’m super excited to share that I received an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant!! The DECODE-PMD project will boost research in my new lab @crg.eu to unravel how nascent proteins can trigger degradation of their own mRNA during translation. Big thanks to all the people who supported me with this grant!
