✨ Excited to share our latest story, now online! 🧬
We investigated how ZAKα senses stalled and collided ribosomes in the ribotoxic stress response.
Huge thanks to members of @cgen2025.bsky.social and all excellent collaborators who contributed to this work.👏
Congratulations to everyone involved!🎉
Another opportunity to join CGEN: we are seeking 2 or more Postdocs 🧬🧪
Deadline March 18, 2025
Please share with your relevant networks!

It's not all DNA: Also RNA damage contributes to cellular stress!
RNA lesions trigger ribosome stalling, which can influence cell fate.
Very nice review (for me as an RNA damage muggle) from @jstingele.bsky.social

Congratulations @ribocode.bsky.social team on our review published today @royalsociety.org Awesome team work to write this as such a large group. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
New group photo for 2026! ✨🌟Kicking off the year with frozen-lake walking and a snowball fight❄️☃️. And most importantly, Happy Birthday to our great PhD student @josefcomh.bsky.social
Enjoying a great Gordon Research Seminar in California ☀️ presenting our science and discussing with wonderful collaborators such as Franklin Zhong from NTU Singapore 🙌 #GRC #Gordonconf #ribosome
Looking for a PhD position? Have a look at these PhD fellowships at our center 🧪☀️🇩🇰 (and also: follow our Center for Gene Expression @cgen2025.bsky.social for more news in the future 🤗 )! #PhDposition @ucph.bsky.social
Huge congrats to our brilliant postdocs, @catarinapechincha.bsky.social and @sofiaramalho.bsky.social on both being awarded EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships @embo.org ! This is a major milestone for the group and truly one of the best Christmas gifts we could receive.🎉🎉🎉
