Sonal Lagad is our newest lab member. She joined EMBL International PhD Programme in August to work on pre-mRNA splicing.
Moritz Pfleiderer, the first PhD student in the Galej group, has successfully defended his thesis last Thursday. During the PhD, Moritz studied multi-subunit Integrator complex, which is involved in transcription attenuation and snRNAs 3′-end processing. His results were recently published in…
Molecular Cell published an interview with Wojtek and his colleagues, Max Wilkinson and Sebastian Fica from the Nagai group reflecting on the last 6 years of their work on the spliceosome structure. The associated paper on the Ci spliceosome intermediate was the first publication to go through the…
The latest #cryoEM structure from Nagai group at MRC LMB in Cambridge identifying a new spliceosome assembly intermediate (Ci complex) is now published in Molecular Cell. The paper contains the most complete and accurate depiction of the catalytic spliceosome to date and identifies a new functional…
A warmly welcome to our 2 newest lab members, Angelique and Sunny! Angelique joined as a research technician, after spending 5 years in Irina Gutsche’s group at IBS in Grenoble. Sunny joined as a new postdoc in November, after completing her PhD in Patrick Cramer’s group at MPI-BPC in…
