Our new findings on how the ribosome couples with the RNA polymerase are summarized in a movie highlighting the dynamics of the process🎞️🎥
Thanks to Clemens Bretscher for the great animations! - behance.net/cbretscher

Excited to share our FIRST @biorxivpreprint of the lab all done by SuperScientist Nussi Qureshi!
We see how single ribosomes slow down upon colliding into RNA polymerase and that they activate RNAP via long-range physical coupling!
Check it out! @embl

My last day as a demonstrator 💔 was very happy to support students almost 3 years while doing my PhD
I’m gonna miss practicals, all students were incredible, learnt so much from them and teaching them was so much fun!
