👩🔬 Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Meet Nisha Hemandhar Kumar @nishahemandhar.bsky.social, postdoctoral researcher in the group of @beyerlab.bsky.social at the @unicologne.bsky.social
Inspiring the Next Generation 🎉Happy International Day of #WomenInScience 🎉 We had many amazing female scientists – like our two alumnae, who recently received prestigious postdoctoral fellowships: @sophiesiems.bsky.social (Marie Curie) & @nishahemandhar.bsky.social (Walter Benjamin) Congrats! #STEM
Thank you Débora!
Thank you Andreas!
Thank you!!!
Thank you Ina:)
Furthermore, in collaboration with Dr. Joris Deelen, Dr. Jan-Wilm Lackmann, Dr. Carl Elias Kutzner, @forna.bsky.social, @inahuppertz.bsky.social, and Dr. Ranen Aviner. Thank you all for your continued support!
Excited to share that I have been awarded @dfg.de Walter Benjamin fellowship for my Postdoctoral project. I will be conducting this work at @cecad.bsky.social in @beyerlab.bsky.social lab and associated with @crc1678.bsky.social.
🚀Great news from #CRC1678:
Our postdoc @nishahemandhar.bsky.social receives the @dfg.de Walter Benjamin Fellowship! This award highlights her outstanding research, opens exciting new opportunities, and is an important milestone that will support her independent scientific career. Congratulations! 🥳
We are well into our 5-day Cluster Workshop on Ribosome Profiling (Ribo-seq) run by sabbatical scientist Ranen Aviner @czbiohub.bsky.social. We welcome PhDs and PIs from Bonn/Cologne for a hands-on and analysis course sponsored by the Cluster @immunosens.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social UKB.
🎤 Science gets loud!
Our #CRC1678 postdoc @nishahemandhar.bsky.social hits the stage at the Medical Faculty’s Science Slam!
🗓️ Nov 12, 6:30 PM
📍 Gebäude 9, Cologne
Join for a night of fast, fun, fascinating research!

Thanks!
I'll be presenting our latest work, that explores proteo-transcriptomic changes that occur with brain aging and their impact on protein synthesis at the #EMBLProtein conference.
If you want to know more about it, come and spin my poster #129.

Our study provides an extensive resource on molecular aging, and offers insights into mechanisms predisposing to neurodegeneration, easily accessible at our Brain Aging and Molecular Atlas Project (BrainAging-MAP) website.
Analysis of the nine models revealed key similarities and differences between physiological aging and pathology.
Aggregation of 60S ribosome proteins indicates deteriorating translation efficiency and control. A tightening of the p/m coefficient with age suggests aging reduces regulatory capacity, increasing mRNA–protein correlation.
Decrease in mitochondrial complex I proteins were not compensated at the mRNA level.
We identified dynamic changes in physiological aging, highlighting differences in synaptic maintenance and energy-allocation.
Excited to share my PhD research, now on bioRxiv! We report a proteo-transcriptomic reprogramming and resource reallocation in the aging brain.
Co–first author with Verena Kluever. Grateful to @forna.bsky.social for mentorship, and to @tatjanat.bsky.social, Carlos López Otín & all collaborators🧠
Today marks the first day of our very first CRC 1678 Early Career Researcher Retreat! We’re proud to have such an amazing group of scientists with us—full of curiosity, energy, and team spirit. 💥🧠 🥳💪 #CRC1678 #ECRetreat #ScienceCommunity
We are very happy to invite you to our 9th Rhineland RNA Club at @dzne.science Bonn with great local speakers and Lena Steckelberg @lenasteckelberg.bsky.social as our invited speaker. All #RNA enthusiasts are welcome! Organized by @inahuppertz.bsky.social and @katleppek.bsky.social. #RNAsky
Thank you!
Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Congratulations Dr. Shyam!
🚀 Thrilled to share our latest research! With the labs of Yansheng Liu and Junmin Peng we’ve built the largest in vivo protein turnover resource across multiple tissues and brain regions, now published in Cell @cellpress.bsky.social 🔬💡 #Proteomics Check it out! 👇

Thank you!
Thank you Jan!
If that was the peak of my climb, then every grueling step—each hardship endured—prepared me for an extraordinary destiny!
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, especially @forna.bsky.social for your support and mentorship over the years!
