Exciting Symposium on Biopolymers coming up in Mainz in March 2026!
Great lineup of speakers from both the polymer and life sciences 👇

It's coming again!! Can't wait...

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @imbmainz.bsky.social in February 2026 to start my own group!
We will explore new mechanisms in eukaryotic gene expression, leveraging ‘evolutionary play’ to uncover how regulation, repurposing, and hijacking shape RNA biology.
PhD positions available!
