Incredibly grateful to be part of @EMBOFellows which enabled me to attend the Self-leadership for Women course. The insights, empowerment, and connections gained are invaluable! We're ready to contribute to a stronger, more inclusive scientific community. #WomenInScience

In the upcoming weeks, we will have a workshop in the fields of nuclear pore complex, protein quality control, and intrinsically disordered proteins. We have an awesome list of confirmed speakers and we still have a few registration spots left!
Looking forward 🤓🇳🇱

This is the video I made for the "Science in Shorts" competition organized by @NaturePortfolio. I had to explain my research in a creative way under 1 minute.
I didn't make it to the Top10, but my video was selected to be in their YouTube library 😁

It was great to contribute to the Night of Science! 🧪 We opened the doors of our institute @MPIbp for an evening and it was really amazing to see so many people interested in science, and to share a small peek into our research @WilflingLab
1 Jul 2024
Science for all!🔬🧬 At the Frankfurt #NightofScience, we showcased our Institute and research with hands-on experiments 🌋, guided tours of our electron microscopy facility, and talks 🎙️ on our methods 🧪 and latest projects!✨#NightofScience #ScienceComms #ScienceIsFun

This Friday from 17-22h: Night of Science!
@MPIbp two of us will give a talk: Fabian on how cells get rid of their waste, and @KuiperEls on how our cells stay healthy with age. More of us will be there to make ice cream and do small experiments 🧪🍦 don't miss it!

Started from the 1st of October in the @WilflingLab @MPIbp where I will continue my research on nuclear pore complexes and their quality control 🔬🧫 exciting things to come!
13 Oct 2023
We are very happy that our newest postdoc colleague, Els, has recently started in the lab! She will be joining our team investigating degradation of nuclear pore complexes by autophagy, using expertise gained during her postdoc time with @Schliekerlab. Welcome Els 🎉🎉🎉

It's out! Read here our perspective in @FEBS_Letters on the recent findings in the field of nucleoporin condensation and nuclear pore complex assembly and how this might link to neurological disorders

Our article (with Dirk Görlich, @SimoneReber @bis_was_here ) is just online:

we systematically engineered and tested a wide range of phase-separating FG repeat domains in nuclear pores for years, now we report this interesting story #biocondensate

Two weeks ago I heard I got awarded the #Rubicon postdoctoral #fellowship from @NWOFunding!
In December I also received the #EMBO postdoc fellowship @EMBOFellows. It took quite some effort to write the proposals and I feel proud it paid off. Now let's do some cool research!🔬🧬🧫
16 Jan 2023
15 recently obtained #PhD #researchers will soon leave NL for max. 2 years to conduct research with a Rubicon grant. The U.S. is popular, others travel to Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, the U.K. and Japan. Read about the projects in the news item: nwo.nl/en/news/go-abroad-or-…

Happy to share our last article in @NatureComms
We determined the #CryoEM structure of full-length hnRNPDL-2 fibrils, a human functional #amyloid associated with a rare muscular dystrophy, with @stericagno & M. Bolognesi

Always interesting to read about new findings on heat shock proteins
23 Jan 2023
So excited to share our work out in @NatureCellBio !!! We found that small heat shock proteins can translocate to the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where they operate as molecular chaperones. Major findings 👇

With immense pride I post here that my paper is published in @NatureCellBio! nature.com/articles/s41556-0…
We show that the chaperone DNAJB6 is involved in the biogenesis of nuclear pore complexes, and the maintenance of the disordered proteins that make up the transport barrier

Shoutout to anyone that moves to another country to follow their dreams. Adapting to lang/env/cultural differences whilst studying/researching is mind blowing. It can be difficult for those who have never done this to appreciate just how big that is, it's incredibly impressive.

Popped the champagne 🍾 last week in Groningen to celebrate that my paper (with the effort of so many incredible people) got accepted @NatureCellBio. More soon on when it will be published!

My friend/colleague whom I shared an office @univgroningen for 5 years got a Rubicon grant! 🥳
(now I'm getting back to writing mine...🤞)

Fifteen researchers who have recently received their PhDs can do their research at foreign research institutes thanks to a Rubicon grant from NWO & ZonMw. In this way they can gain international research experience. View the projects awarded funding here: nwo.nl/en/news/fifteen-talen…
