Huge congratulations to our postdoc @paula-milan-rois.bsky.social for winning the Best Talk Award at the #PdOC Research Showcase 2025! 👏 Her work on RNA and nanomedicine highlights the innovative and diverse science happening in our lab. Don't miss our science! @cambiochem.bsky.social

Paula MR@paula-milan-rois.bsky.social · last yr.

Thrilled to share that I attended the 2025 PdOC Research Showcase last Monday, a fantastic day focused on AI, full of learning, inspiration, and great discussions! Honoured to receive the Best Talk Award! Huge thanks to the organizers and everyone who made the event so enriching!

It was great catching up with past and present @miskalab.bsky.social members to celebrate 20 years of Miska Lab. Thank you, Eric!

This year @ericmiska.bsky.social lab celebrates 20 years of science! 🥳We marked the occasion with a wonderful gathering of past and present members, sharing memories, discoveries, and friendships. Here’s to the next 20 years of breakthroughs and collaboration🥂 @cambiochem.bsky.social

Don't miss it!

Cambridge RNA@cambridgerna.bsky.social · last yr.

Ever heard of an organism that rebuilds its genome from scratch? Meet Oxytricha, the wonder that shreds & reassembles DNA pieces guided by RNA! Join us on 15th Sept at 13h for L.Landweber’s @columbiauniversity.bsky.social talk at @cambiochem.bsky.social to explore this case of natural genome editing

Excited to be in #Belfast for #BSNM2025! presenting my work from @miskalab.bsky.social and @lilfruk.bsky.social lab on developing therapies against lncRNA, delivered by protein nanoparticles 🚀🧬 Don’t miss my poster, looking forward to great discussions and new ideas!

Happy RNA day!!

Cambridge RNA@cambridgerna.bsky.social · last yr.

Happy #RNADay! 🧬✨From regulating gene expression to shaping evolution, and now powering next-gen therapeutics... RNA does it all! Here’s to the molecule that never stops surprising us. The future is RNA, and it’s only getting more exciting! 💥 @cambiochem.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social

We are seeking speakers for the upcoming academic year! Contact us if you are interested! @cambiochem.bsky.social #CambridgeRNAClub #RNAClub @rnasociety.bsky.social

This week we had the pleasure of taking part in the ASTP programme as part of @cambiochem.bsky.social , with @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social and @mrc-tu.bsky.social It was a joy to welcome Zainab to the lab and share some of our research projects! ✨ #ASTP2025 #FutureScientists

Interesting talk from @miskalab.bsky.social . Why do some animals (and plants) receive RNA from the environment? Why don't humans have the ability? Would make #RNA delivery a lot easier if we can just eat it and it gets into our cells.

This week, @ulrikayuan.bsky.social and @paula-milan-rois.bsky.social presented their exciting postdoctoral projects at the @cambiochem.bsky.social Postdoc Symposium! It was an excellent couple of days of science, career development and networking! Huge thanks to the biochemistry postdoc committee!

Don't miss tomorrow RNA Club at @cambiochem.bsky.social with Tsveta Kamenova and @anatv.bsky.social !!

DNA Elements @miskalab.bsky.social‬ (Cichlids/ Pangenome/ Transposable elements) https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.279674.124 @migueldvalmeida.bsky.social‬ (Transposable elements/ Genome evolution/ F-box genes) https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf097 (12/38)
