Looking for a truly unique PhD programme on RNA drugs and therapeutics? We have just opened the call for the second cohort of RNAmed-Future leaders in RNA-based medicine. More details under www.rnamed.de Please spread the word.

Available Postdoc position in my lab to advance ASO technology for biotechnology, food production, infectious diseases, environmental microbiology & more. Looking for specialists in these areas with an interest in RNA applications. Involves numerous national & international collaborations.

Looking for a POSTDOC to work on jumbo phages (those with large genomes and fascinating cell biology), using our latest ASO technology (Gerovac M et al. 2025 Nature) to define RNA export mechanisms as well as to help to advance phage therapy. Here's the job ad.

Franziska Faber and I are recruiting shared postdocs, PhD students to work on Fusobacterium & new BGCs. www.helmholtz-hiri.de/fileadmin/HI...

I feel very honoured, indeed. This order is restricted to 100 living scientists and artists, with an impressive list of past recipients.

Two group leader positions available in the broader areas of RNA science, RNA technologies, and RNA medicine. Attractive packages and a great environment. Come and join us at Helmholtz RNA Würzburg, Bavaria.

Looking for a new approach to studying or eliminating phages? Check out our study introducing anti-phage ASOs (antisense oligos) out in @Nature today. nature.com/articles/s4158…

And this only the beginning! I’m glad we did that collaboration with the Maric lab. ASOs for the people!

The Helmholtz RNA & Infection building getting ever more interesting, with the staircase unfolding. So many different levels, it looks a bit like downtown Bangkok to me, if you know what I mean.

First trip to the beer garden by the river with the lab and friends of the lab this year. Mixed feelings because it’s the farewell of Suyen Espinoza who’s leaving for a new job with a great pharmaceutical company. It’s hard to let go of her for many reasons, my first postdoc ever from Nicaragua!

If you want to do single-cell RNA-seq on your favourite bacterium, here‘s our detailed Nature Protocol for microbial MATQ-seq. It profiles up to 600 genes in a single bacterial cell! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Transcriptomic profiling of individual bacteria by MATQ-seq - Nature ProtocolsBacterial single-cell sequencing via MATQ-seq combines index sorting, random priming and rRNA depletion, and offers high cell retention and transcript capture rates, making it ideal for experiments wi...www.nature.com

Finally made it to Bluesky as well. Here’s the me Helmholtz RNA & Infection building as of this week.
