May I introduce, the newest graduate from the Hilgers lab, Dr. Carlos Alfonso-Gonzalez @extended_gene ! A spectacular PhD defense awarded "Summa cum laude", and very proud Mama, Doktormutter, friends and lab!

Hooray! We are #recruiting! Our Max Planck #gradschool #PhD program is looking for the next generation of talents in #epigenetics, #biophysics, #metabolism & many more areas. Get details about our MPI of Immunobiology & Epigenetics Universität Freiburg faculty & the application process: imprs-iem.mpg.de

Looking for a PhD? Our Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics MPI of Immunobiology & Epigenetics and Universität Freiburg opened the call for applications! If you are interested in genetics, epigenetics, cell biology, bioinformatics, RNA biology... please apply! imprs-iem.mpg.de

We are thrilled to share our latest work in bioRxiv! We demonstrate that ELAV globally mediates neural circRNA expression. Spearheaded by @extended_gene with the collaborative effort of the Hilgers Lab @hilgerslab.bsky.social team!

EMBL turns 50 this year! 🎂 To celebrate, we are hosting an exciting scientific symposium on 4–5 July, in Heidelberg and online. It’s not too late to join our golden anniversary virtually. Register for #EMBL50 here: embl.org/about/info/cou…

New job, starting next summer! Extremely excited to join the extraordinary scientific environment at Universität Basel and the Department of Biomedicine.

Now Hilgers Lab @hilgerslab.bsky.social, representating EMBL PhDs, talks about RNA processing in fly neurons. I didn’t meet Valerie until last week, when we did an epic open-water sea swim, for which she spontaneously volunteered. Huge waves. #EMBL #alumni community is everywhere & courageous #EMBL50

Honored to speak today at EMBL's 50th anniversary celebration conference #embl50 ! So many familiar faces and cool science. An exceptional place with exceptional people past and present.

Maybe the best news of the year! New Director at the MPI of Immunobiology & Epigenetics/Max Planck Society 🥳 Nicola Iovino Lab Nicola Iovino is the new Director of the Department of Developmental Epigenetics – studying the impact of epigenetics on biological diversity & evolution.
