Fantastic PhD opportunity in RNA research and RNA-based medicine!🔥
Great to have Mandy Peffer (@liverpooluni.bsky.social), Head of Musculoskeletal and Ageing Science, visiting our group last week. We enjoyed the scientific exchange and the time with the team. Thanks for stopping by and connecting with us.
Merry Christmas!!🎄⭐

Argonaute conference #Argonaute2025 in Prague – researchers, clinicians & patient families coming together. Honored to co-organize this fantastic, inspiring meeting with amazing colleagues @svobodalab.bsky.social, @farmgirlphd.bsky.social & @curiousdina.bsky.social
Conference season part II: one of my favourites, the Argonaute conference #Argonaute2025. As always with some specials: Ago playing cards ♠️♥️♣️♦️ & Ago gin (a favourite since the first meeting). Such fun to have co-organized this @svobodalab.bsky.social ❗️, @farmgirlphd.bsky.social & Gunter Meister.
#argonautes2025 end (for me) with an amazing dinner. Thank you for organizing @svobodalab.bsky.social
in these mostly wretched times, you have to find joy wherever you can. last week my ad hoc band the Argonautes (me, Yuki Tomari, Germano Cecere) had a blast playing in Prague. we rocked some old and new songs, and can't wait to do it again in Toronto 2027!

What to say: RNA U come around
A special day: Nobel laureate Victor Ambros in our lab! – a true pleasure to have him here.
He visited Regensburg to give the laudation at Prof. Dr. Dr. Davor Lessel’s inaugural lecture and to exchange ideas on AGO2 and microRNA research.
