December 2023 ► Stefanie will receive the 2024 external pageElisa Izaurralde Awardcall_made for Innovation in Research, Teaching, and Service from the RNA Society.
July 2023 ► external pageCollaborative papercall_made with the Madhani lab now out in Molecular Cell. Together we reveal that the RNA helicase DHX15 is recruited to early spliceosomes via the G-patch protein SUGP1 to check splicing fidelity and diassemble unproductive spliceosomes.
September 2022 ► New external pagereview papercall_made on the Integrator complex is out now in Current Opinions in Structural Biology.
April 2022 ► Our research was funded by a new external pageSNSF project grantcall_made.
March 2022 ► Stefanie received one of the external page2021 ERC Consolidator Grantscall_made (because Switzerland is not an ERC member it will be funded by the Swiss state).
February 2022 ► external pageCollaborative papercall_made with the Allain, Sharma and Leitner labs now out in PNAS, characterizing how an unstructured RGG linker mediates sequence specific binding between U1 and U2 snRNPs during early spliceosome assembly.
December 2021 ► Stefanie has been accepted into the external pageEMBO Young Investigator Programmecall_made.
July 2021 ► Our group was featured in the external page#NCCRWomen campaigncall_made, see our video below.
January 2021 ► New external pagereview papercall_made on helicase regulation by G-patch proteins is out now in Biological Chemistry.
July 2020 ► Our external pagepapercall_made on a new nucleic acid binding module of the Integrator complex is out now in Nature Communications.
March 2020 ► Our first external pagepapercall_made is now published in PNAS, detailing the structural and mechanistic basis of RNA helicase activation by G-patch proteins in ribosome biogenesis and mRNA splicing.
January 2020 ► Kevin received a PhD fellowship from the external pageGerman Academic Scholarship Foundationcall_made. Congratulations!
