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!
