Research group in the Biochemistry department @cambiochem.bsky.social at the University of Cambridge exploring the RNA Universe! 🧬✨ https://www.ericmiskalab.org/ Managed by lab members Organisers of @cambridgerna.bsky.social
Last week we said goodbye to our dear Tsveta. It’s been a joy having you with us, and we wish you all the very best for this exciting next chapter. You’ll always have friends here to discuss science with!
Her lncRNA manuscript is in preparation. Stay tuned!
@ecwalsh.bsky.social , @jonlp-bioinf.bsky.social , @paula-milan-rois.bsky.social , and @bianca-pierattini.bsky.social presented their work at #RNAUK26. We enjoyed the perfect combo of great science, inspiring discussions, and scenic hikes. Thank you to the organiser for such a fantastic conference!
Huge congratulations to @juancruedas.bsky.social for successfully passing his PhD viva with minor corrections yesterday! 🧬We’re incredibly proud of you! And even more exciting, the manuscript is on the way. Stay tuned! 👏🥳
@cambiochem.bsky.social
What happens to chromatin memory during DNA replication? His work reveals how histone recycling by the replisome helps organize large heterochromatic domains and shapes epigenetic inheritance, with conserved features across species. Exciting manuscript in preparation!
Juan Carlos @juancruedas.bsky.social will defend his PhD, Don't miss his valedictory seminar on 28th Jan 10 am at @cambiochem.bsky.social . He will present his exciting work on how replisome–histone interactions shape chromatin and drive transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Best of luck!
How is RNA regulation shaped across tissues and species?
Join us for two exciting talks by Roberto Campalastri (tRNA gene regulation) @mrc-tu.bsky.social and Meenu Bhati @meenubhati.bsky.social (lncRNA discovery in the bovine genome)
Don’t miss it! Thursday 22nd 16:30h Zoom

We had a great time at the @cambiochem.bsky.social Away Days, learning about the exciting research across the Department! It was a pleasure to share some of our group’s projects thanks to @migueldvalmeida.bsky.social and @ecwalsh.bsky.social . All set for a year full of science! Stay tuned!
Project led by Lanhui Qiu with huge thanks to Tim Williams, members of the @miskalab.bsky.social & all those who supported the work @phar.cam.ac.uk & beyond!
If you’re into RBPs, miRNAs, RNA regulation, or love cool new tech in biology…You don’t want to miss the talk of @dmitry-kretov.bsky.social (@ulaval.ca) the creator of RBPscan, a powerful method to quantitatively map RNA–protein interactions inside living cells; Wed 10th at 16:30 online.
This Wed 10th, 16:30h (Zoom)! Discover how ribosome structures are reshaping the battle against AMR.
Don’t miss this deep dive into cutting-edge Cryo-EM by Dr Martino Morici ( @uni-hamburg.de )!

How do high-affinity B cells shape immune responses, and how can we use their signatures in the clinic? Find out on 20 Nov, 16:30 at @cambiochem.bsky.social with Michele Chirichela, whose work spans antibody engineering, post-transcriptional regulation & biomarker discovery. Don’t miss it!
Ever wondered how antidepressants might influence your gut microbes? 🧬💊Join Dr. Xiaoteng Jiang ( @mrc-tu.bsky.social ) talk on Nov 20, 16:30h at @cambiochem.bsky.social to explore how RNA–protein interactions reveal unexpected drug–microbiome connections 🤯
Huge congratulations to our postdoc @paula-milan-rois.bsky.social for winning the Best Talk Award at the #PdOC Research Showcase 2025! 👏
Her work on RNA and nanomedicine highlights the innovative and diverse science happening in our lab. Don't miss our science! @cambiochem.bsky.social
It was great catching up with past and present @miskalab.bsky.social members to celebrate 20 years of Miska Lab. Thank you, Eric!
This year @ericmiska.bsky.social lab celebrates 20 years of science! 🥳We marked the occasion with a wonderful gathering of past and present members, sharing memories, discoveries, and friendships. Here’s to the next 20 years of breakthroughs and collaboration🥂 @cambiochem.bsky.social
Don't miss it!
Excited to be in #Belfast for #BSNM2025! presenting my work from @miskalab.bsky.social and @lilfruk.bsky.social lab on developing therapies against lncRNA, delivered by protein nanoparticles 🚀🧬 Don’t miss my poster, looking forward to great discussions and new ideas!
Happy RNA day!!
We are seeking speakers for the upcoming academic year! Contact us if you are interested!

This week we had the pleasure of taking part in the ASTP programme as part of @cambiochem.bsky.social , with @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social and @mrc-tu.bsky.social
It was a joy to welcome Zainab to the lab and share some of our research projects! ✨ #ASTP2025 #FutureScientists
Interesting talk from @miskalab.bsky.social . Why do some animals (and plants) receive RNA from the environment? Why don't humans have the ability? Would make #RNA delivery a lot easier if we can just eat it and it gets into our cells.
This week, @ulrikayuan.bsky.social and @paula-milan-rois.bsky.social presented their exciting postdoctoral projects at the @cambiochem.bsky.social Postdoc Symposium! It was an excellent couple of days of science, career development and networking! Huge thanks to the biochemistry postdoc committee!
Don't miss tomorrow RNA Club at @cambiochem.bsky.social with Tsveta Kamenova and @anatv.bsky.social !!
