Together with Chun Kan Chen's and @slavicaPD groups we have recently optimized our RAPPL method for the isolation of ribosomes and ribosome fragments from biopsies (5-10mg), tissues (1-5mg) and small blood samples (100-500ul). Soon more on RAPPL Ribo-Seq... Images from ribosome isolation from 100ul of blood, RAPPL-RiboSeq reads and comparison of low expression genes with RAPPL RiboSeq on 250K cells with 10 million cells with classical method. Pending patent #63/694,196 (WU Ref No. 020910/US) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Visit from a friend and great colleague from Newcastle University. Sergey Melnikov will after snowy February in Providence talk tomorrow about hibernating ribosomes. Another talk at Brown RNA Center. #ribosomes #RNA

@DjuranovicLab welcomes new postdoctoral fellow @SiddikAlom19 from OSU and @FredrickLabOSU More ribosome research to come soon.

A few months ago (Sep 30th of 2025) @uspto granted yet another one of my patents on how to modulate translation efficiency by changing first 5 codons/amino acids. The origin of this patent is the work from the lab that was published back in 2019 in Nature Communications. Soon we'll have more on this... nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great visit and lot of fun with Yury Polikanov this week at Brown RNA Center

Great collaboration with @CarpeRibosomam and @slavicaPD labs on using MPRAs to look into non-coding mutations. Approaches for identification of 5′ UTR mutations impacting translation and protein production from neurodevelopmental disorder genes: Cell Reports Methods cell.com/cell-reports-m…

@IsraelF96135088 Are you accepting people? Or inviting...

University breakfast in Bilbao…

It was great to be there. Looking forward to more such meetings!

On the way back from one week of great science, technology and therapeutic potentials of RNA in organization of @ImmaginaBiotech . Thanks for the great meeting to Max and the Immagina team. Looking forward to future collaborations. #RNA #tRNA #ribosome

We are hiring…position suitable for PhD student with interest in ribosomes, antibiotics and cryoEM… uni-hamburg.de/en/stellenange…

Jessey Erath, a former member of @DjuranovicLab and current investigator in @slavicaPD lab is going to present novelties with RAPPL at @ImmaginaBiotech meeting in Trento...#rna #mRNA #ribosome #RNASeq

We’re excited to welcome Prof. Jody Puglisi (Stanford University) to session 2 of the RNA Symposium, where he’ll present “Translational fidelity.” Explore his work on RNA structure & translation dynamics here: zurl.co/sL9tm #RNA #ribosome #ImmaginaRNA25

This is the tremendous gift and great support for the RNA research at Brown University and Giuliani RNA Center. It was a great honor to be part of the Symposium.

@DjuranovicLab is looking for a new postdoctoral fellow interested in the further development of our RAPPL technology and studies of translational complexes in bacterial or eukaryotic cells. Preference will be given to candidates with either structural biology or ribosome profiling backgrounds. nature.com/articles/s4146… Please send applications to Brown University email
