New year, new paper 🚨

How does a chromatin remodeling complex, conserved across species and expressed in all cells, find cell type-specific enhancers?

Read our @NatureComms paper to see how #lncRNAs play a fundamental role:

Honoured to have been a part of this huge effort and to have developed such strong scientific collaborations along the way 🙌🏻. Congratulations @CristianPG_mlg, @iDikic2 and everyone else involved 🎉🎊

It is finally out! My first @ScienceMagazine paper is online and it does not seem real😃. I am Incredibly happy! Really thanks to all my coauthors and special mention to my incredible supervisor @iDikic2 for all the support and trust ! 🫶. Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Happy to share our pre-print on #lncRNA recruitment of SWI/SNF to cell type-specific #enhancers.

We performed several sequencing experiments to reveal the mechanism for how the highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed SWI/SNF finds its DNA targets genome-wide.

Absolutely thrilled to have received the 2022 Rudi Busse award from the medical faculty of @goetheuni for my #PhD thesis on #lncRNA maintenance of #gene expression and #genome stability. Very nice ceremony tonight at the Dies Academicus in Frankfurt.

And even more delighted to have won an @RNASociety poster prize at #RNA23. Thanks again to everyone who came to my poster to have a chat and thanks to those who organised the meeting.
