@paeschkelab.bsky.social

Biochemist at the University of Bonn, interested in the molecular regulation and function of DNA and RNA structures such as G-quadruplexes and how they impact cell function and consequently human health

You are interested in immunology and how nucleic acid structures contribute to their function and how this impacts disease development - Rayk Behrendt and myself have open PhD positions for a joint PhD program between Bonn and Osaka.

G4 scientists be ready for the next international meeting on G4 structures - G4thering, which I organize with Robert Hänsel-Hertsch and Harald Schwalbe. At this meeting, G4 related science will be presented and discussed by top scientist. Join us in Frsnkfurt in summer 2027.

Amazing latest development in NAR demonstrating a direct role of DNA methylation for anti-viral activity. This is also in line with what recently shown by @paeschkelab.bsky.social showing that DNA G-quadruplex structure can play a role in anti-viral activity! Exciting epigenetic times ahead!

Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS go.bsky.app/QSEPDoj

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network Below are the links If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS
