Now out in FEBS Journal - the RNA binding properties of human FASTK, a regulator of mitochondrial metabolism and a potential target for autoimmune diseases therapies! Congrats to Daria & mito team Dawid Mikołaj 🎉
big thank you @ncn.gov.pl #NCNtoTlen doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA-binding prope...

There's a typo - of course the Master's diploma should be obtained by Sept 2025 for a start in Oct 2025😅 if a Master's has already been obtained, an earlier start is possible too😊
We're looking for a *PhD student* to join the FunHitDisco project! 😍
We offer work in a European consortium (SE/PL/NL/IT) dedicated to antifungal drug discovery! 🧫 💊 If you love proteins and structural biology, come join us! 🤗

New year, new paper from my group! Ribosomes translocation into the spore of Bacillus subtilis is highly organised and requires peptidoglycan rearrangements
Funded by @FNP_org_pl @EMBO_YIP performed at @IBBPAS #subtiwiki

forgot to share our first lab biochemis-tree!
and the new lab mascot needed for all the cases of Murphy's law😉hopefully we can take them in stride next year❤️‍🔥

We have been granted our first patent on the method of mRNA enrichment for sequencing or diagnostics. If you're interested in pppRNA or cap 0 RNA, we're happy to help!

Cap 0 example: IFIT1 replaces eIF4E for yeast and will work for fungi, plants and many lower eukaryotes🦠🍄🌱

Thrilled to announce we got funded in the ERA-NET JPIAMR call!🎉https://jpiamr.eu/projects/funhitdisco/
We joined forces with colleagues from SE, NL, IT to work on new antifungal drugs!🍄🧫🧪💊💪 gorna.uw.edu.pl/en/news/jpi-... Thank you NCN for funding the PL part of the project #NCNtoTlen
JPIAMR funding for the FunHitDisco project :: Go!RNA Structural Biology Group
Our international European consortium including Maria Klimecka and Maria Górna will work on the development of new antifungal drugs!

I don't get the Jałta reference, nor care about aspic jelly, but I'm ticked off by association of Poland with Arctic weather - many seem to think we have polar bears on the streets or something while the weather is more or less the same as in Germany🤷‍♀️
Haha very fitting also for the funding situation in Poland

I was playing around trying to make a nice "hello world" image for bsky debut💃 I don't quite know how I ended up with this one, but hey it makes sense, each one has a lamp to bask under😹 so here is "structural biology group working on antifungal drugs" by Copilot 😅 plus ofc 🐈‍⬛️🐈 make everything better
