First lab paper out! 🥳 Check out our spotlight on recent work by @jbdsf.bsky.social & team (Nature 2026) who found how a phage anti-CRISPR protein directs mRNA degradation of bacterial Cas12 to fight the host immune response: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Thanks @julsportell.bsky.social !

We're hiring! Join our growing team at the @crg.eu as a postdoc. Curious about how mRNA translation and decay cross-talk? We're looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project in the field of RNA biology and gene regulation. Apply here: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs... Please share!

Welcome @julsportell.bsky.social who recently joined the lab as the first postdoc! Excited to work with you!

Celebrating the 1st anniversary of the Höpfler lab! 🎂 🥂 The cactus-ribosome translating this special message now decorating my office... Thanks Stefania, Laia & Mariana for the creative surprise!

Are you looking for a PhD? Join us in Barcelona! You'll dive into a community of >100 PhD students from 30 countries exploring the frontiers of biology. You can also join an online workshop on 6 November (15:00 CET) to learn how to find the right lab for you. More info: www.crg.eu/en/content/t...

The @crg.eu 2026 International PhD Programme is now open to apply! The “Dynamics of Protein Synthesis and RNA Decay” lab has a fully funded position available, embedded in an ERC-funded project! Apply now to join a vibrant scientific community in Barcelona! Please share! www.crg.eu/en/content/t...

A lab is nothing without its people and their passion, ideas and enthusiasm they bring! Welcome to the Höpfler lab Laia Torres Masdeu & Mariana Magalhães Ribeiro, who started a PhD, and to Stefania Androulaki who is our new lab manager! Looking forward to all the exciting science ahead!

Farewell to the brave Ekin Yildiz! Joining as a summer student he fearlessly cloned the first plasmids in the Hopfler lab! All the best for the future!

I’m super excited to share that I received an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant!! The DECODE-PMD project will boost research in my new lab @crg.eu to unravel how nascent proteins can trigger degradation of their own mRNA during translation. Big thanks to all the people who supported me with this grant!
