Excited to share that our story about human SLFN11 is out in @NatureComms Awesome team effort with Felix Metzner, @Michael_Kug and @KatjaLammens at the @hopfnerlab, @GeneCenter_LMU

The #Schlafen11 protein, identified as sensor for single stranded DNA #ssDNA, may be part of new class of pattern recognition receptors. Read more: scim.ag/7kA

1/7 @labs_mann and Georg Wallmann @GeorgWa are proud to announce alphaDIA, our open source, next generation DIA search engine. Check out the preprint @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In our next meeting #MunichRNA20M, we will hear the amazing RNA science of Yung-Li Chen from @METorresPadilla lab (@Helmholtz_MUC) and @Michael_Kug from @hopfnerlab (@LMU_Muenchen). Hope to see you there! 📅20/03/24 3pm 📍@MPI_Biochem

Super happy to announce that our project NTasePro "NTase Products and Cyclic Nucleotide Signalling" has been selected by @ERC_Research for an ERC Starting Grant #ERCStG! Big thank you goes to the LS1 panel & reviewers and @TU_Muenchen for the support. tum.de/en/news-and-ev…

Did you know cGAS isn't alone in its mission? It's part of a large family of innate immune sensors that sense distinct PAMPs, produce varied nucleotide signals, and control complex signaling networks! 🧵Check out our latest story on cGAS-like receptors: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Check out @StephanWoike’s stellar PhD work published in @NatureSMB. Glad I could contribute to this story. @hopfnerlab @GeneCenter_LMU

Check out our newest publication. Great work by Franziska Kunert and Felix Metzner! Thanks to all authors for the team effort. @MarkusHopfler @PfanderLab S.Eustermann et al. Structural mechanism of extranucleosomal DNA readout by the INO80 complex science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The saga of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors continues - by using three different approaches we were exploring the potential exosite of carbonic anhydrases. Fruitful collaboration at @IOCBPrague. Out now at @rsc_medchem. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I am very happy to receive the FEBS Excellence Award! Thank you @FEBSnews for creating this great new opportunity aimed at early-career researchers. I can only encourage young group leaders to apply for the next round! And congrats to my fellow awardees!😀

Another step towards uncovering the secrets of the Schlafen protein family. Check out how we tackled SLFN5 by crystallization and #CryoEM : academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…
