NAR breakthrough alert 🎉 Joint work with @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social on Rrm4. We dissect its modular RRM binding code & how domain combinations shape RNA interactions. Like finding needles in a haystack, comparative iCLIP sorts functional vs accessory sites. Work by Nina & @srimeenakshi.bsky.social
The iCLIP3 protocol was developed by Vlado Despic in a close and fun collaboration with @koenig-lab.bsky.social and @zarnack-group.bsky.social. The protocol was inspired by and successfully tested in the @embo.org #iCLIPcourse thanks to Elias Bechara, Chris Sibley and @rosario-avolio.bsky.social
Thank you to all who attended our inaugural lecture on Friday. We greatly value the interest, the collegial atmosphere and the support. @zarnack-group.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT
Many thanks to everyone who joined on Friday and made it such a memorable afternoon—we greatly appreciate the warm welcome in Würzburg! @cctb-wue.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT
I greatly enjoyed giving a keynote lecture at the Swiss RNA Workshop 2026. Excellent discussions and a vibrant RNA community. @nccr-rna-disease.bsky.social #RNABiology
Our new Cluster for Nucleic Acid Sciences and Technologies has kicked off in Eichstätt. NUCLEATE unites experts from Würzburg and Munich to advance nucleic acid science and develop future medical applications.

Great time visiting the groups of Carmo Fonseca, Joel Perez-Perri, and Nuno Morais (@nmoraislab.bsky.social) at Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM) in Lisbon 🇵🇹
Thanks for great discussions on nuclear speckles, RNA-binding proteins, and other exciting topics!

Last week, our amazing PhD student Dominik Stroh represented the lab at the 8th EU–US Conference on Endogenous DNA Damage & Repair in Trondheim, Norway 🧬🇳🇴
He nailed his poster and short pitch. Great job sharing your research with the international DNA repair community! 🙌

We’re kicking off the bioinformatics part of the #emboiclip2 course today! Excited to dive into the data side of iCLIP. 💻🧬
I am sooo excited. Starting tomorrow the next edition of the fabulous #emboiclip2 course begins. @koenig-lab.bsky.social, @zarnack-group.bsky.social, moi & Elias Bechara will present 3 improvements to the method, a semi-automated workflow for data analysis and an exciting line up of speakers. Ready?
GBM (@gbmev.bsky.social) is celebrating Postdoc Appreciation Week (PAW) from Sept 15–19, 2025! 🙌 Shout-out to all postdocs + the new GBM Postdoc Network! 💥 Share using: #GBM #PAWde #PostdocAppreciationWeek 💬 Info: paw-germany.de
Registration for the GBM Compact meeting is open: gbm-compact.org/gbm-compact-... The meeting will bring together scientists from different disciplines to discuss how novel functions and pathologies emerge from the process of phase separation in biological systems.

The CCTB and @zarnack-group.bsky.social are hosting a Summer BBQ, and we’d love for you to join us!
🎓 Students from @uni-wuerzburg.de are especially welcome—come hang out, meet the teams, and enjoy some good food in the sun!
Bring your appetite and summer spirit! ☀️🍔
This postdoc position will be a fantastic mix of computational and mathematical approach towards developing a fitness landscape of the Fabry disease. Hosted by @iimog.sigmoid.social.ap.brid.gy we will be collaborating intensively on this topic.
Join us this Wednesday, June 25 at 11:00 for the next CCTB Seminar! 🧬
Dharanish Rajendra (Theoretical Biology group) will speak on:
“Learning to adapt to dangerous environments”
📍 John-Skilton-Straße 4a, Seminar Room 2
🍕 Pizza will be served afterwards—everyone’s welcome!
