The lecture series Modern methods to analyze features of ribonucleoprotein particles is back!
Part II starting on October 15th with a lecture on the
Principles of Translational Control: Mechanisms and Factors
The Complex Life of RNA is back! It is the third time the RNA community gathers in Heidelberg to discuss the latest scientific findings. It was great to meet a lot of friends in this exciting environment. In parallel to the conference we had organized a gathering of (junior) group leaders working on all aspects of RNA biology. I enjoyed very much chatting with you during dinner and I am looking forward to seeing you again next year – same time, same place!
Jan Medenbach has become a faculty member of the Regensburg International Graduate School for Life Sciences (RIGeL)!
The Graduate Research Academy RNA Biology of the Regensburg International Graduate School for Life Sciences (RIGeL) organized a practical course teaching the latest methods in RNP analysis. 16 PhD students (many of them from outside of Regensburg) had the chance to learn about state-of-the-art methodology from experts in the field. Exciting lectures were combined with hands-on experimentation. This provided not only detailed insights into the methods but also experimental guidance in how to set up the different types of assays. It was great fun and I am happy for the opportunity to contribute! See the poster. A big thank you to Alfredo Castello and Rastislav Horos who traveled to Regensburg to teach RNA Interactome Capture!
The EMBL 40th Anniversary Reunion!
Meeting old friends and hearing about the exciting science that happened (and is still happening) at EMBL – combined with a Hentze Lab reunion! In sum: great fun and great science!

We just became a more official part of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre SFB960: Principles of RNP biogenesis and control of their function (www.SFB960.de). We are now an associated research group and Jan has been elected into the steering committee.
