Beautiful story from the labs of @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social and Clemens Plaschka on how Piwi silences transposons, solving the long-standing mystery of what happens upon target engagement - a topic still close to my heart 💙 Big congrats to Júlia and the whole team 🎉
📰 New paper alert!
In a collaborative project with the lab of Clemens Plaschka at the IMP, the lab of Julius Brennecke has revealed how PIWI proteins kickstart transposon silencing in reproductive cells.
The findings are published in Molecular Cell: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How cells lock down “jumping genes”:
Researchers from IMBA and IMP identify the first protein interactions that trigger PIWI–piRNA–mediated transposon silencing, using AlphaFold predictions, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.

I am excited to share that I will join the Friedrich Miescher Institute @fmiscience.bsky.social in Basel as a group leader, starting my lab in March 2026 🎉
We will explore cell fate regulation during organogenesis, with a focus on how cell elimination underlies the emergence of functional tissues.
