It was a double ribosome talk day for us in Bonn with talks today by Ranen Aviner from @czbiohub.bsky.social and Simon @bekkerjensenlab.bsky.social from BRIC Copenhagen. Simon is visiting for the @rhinelandrna.bsky.social tomorrow and Ranen is a visiting scientist in my and Ina‘s lab. #RNAsky

This massive poster of the ad campaign for the new recruits at the @unibonn.bsky.social is the nerdiest version and the closest I’ll ever get to a superhero movie poster. #Bauzaun

We are happy to finally present our brand new lab website of the Leppek Lab! About time after 3.5 years of the lab. Perfectly in time for the #EMBLProtein meeting in Heidelberg where our 4 PhDs have posters and I have a talk! We would be happy about any feedback! 🎉 leppeklab.org

Update from the scope with Lana (PhD) from @mengmengfu.bsky.social‘s lab, Jakob (postdoc) from Drago Milovanovic‘s lab @dzne.science and Vivian (postdoc) from my lab. Only missing from the @hfspo.bsky.social team is Elarbi (postdoc) from Danny Broere‘s lab at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social.

This week, we welcome Lana Ho (right), PhD student from @mengmengfu.bsky.social's lab at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, to our lab to teach us some cool smFISH (in a heatwave) as part of a lab exchange in the @hfspo.bsky.social Early Career Award.

Back to the roots. Literally. It's been a while since my days of working on plant riboswitches with Breaker people. I kind of missed the combination of a dirty bench and RNA work. This time, we want their ribosomes for a crazy idea. #RNA

This was a truly collaborative effort of my lab (with all ideas and data generated in Bonn) and Maria Barna's lab at Stanford.
Congrats to Philipp, Martin and Saurabh! 🥳

The first paper from the Leppek lab is published today at @embojournal.org!! 🎉
We designed and evaluated a versatile toolbox for determining IRES activity in cells and embryonic tissues.
