It was a particular honor to be invited for the PhD choice lecture to the conference of the Collaborative Research Center 902 – Molecular Principles of RNA-based Regulation which took place on August 29^th and 30^th 2018 at the Otto-Stern-Zentrum in Frankfurt am Main. The conference featured many exciting talks on diverse topics in RNA biology.

I would like to thank the PhD students very much for the invitation – it was a real pleasure to participate in the conference!
