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!

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!!

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 !!

Helena Santos Rosa presented her fascinating work today at @cambiochem.bsky.social , exploring how RNA modifications contribute to cancer resistance mechanisms. Amazing job diving into the molecular details—well done, Helena! 🧬👏 #RNAmodifications #CancerResearch @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

Congratulations to @ulrikayuan.bsky.social on successfully defending her PhD! Her work revealed how gene expression diverges in early cichlid development, offering insights into evolutionary diversity. Well done on this important milestone! @cambiochem.bsky.social @geneticscam.bsky.social

Amazing talk of Walter Salzburger (@unibas.ch ) today at @cambiochem.bsky.social about African Cichild fish evolution!! #fish #evolution #behaviour

Next Thursday we'll be hosting two fantastic talks by @pdaphd.bsky.social and @agatsiou.bsky.social 5-6 pm! Join us at @cambiochem.bsky.social for pizza, drinks and RNA discussion! 🤠🧬🍕

🧬@juancruedas.bsky.social is in #Heidelberg this week at the EMBL: Chromatin and Epigenetics meeting! Are you interested in how replisome–histone interactions contribute to the transgenerational maintenance of large heterochromatic domains? Go and chat about chromatin, poster 195! #EMBLChromatin

📣 Don’t miss our next RNA Club session on May 22nd 17h at @cambiochem.bsky.social with @agatsiou.bsky.social (@lancasteruni.bsky.social @blslancasteruni.bsky.social) She’ll reveal how RNA editing shapes immune regulation in health and disease. Don't miss this session full of science and pizza! 🍕🤓

Almeida et al. show how F-box genes in C. elegans and zebrafish have fused with transposon-derived domains, contributing to functional and regulatory novelty for thermotolerance and fertility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf097 #evolbio #TEsky @miskalab.bsky.social

🚨Just published! What do F-box genes, heat stress, and TE have in [email protected] ’s new paper in @molbioevol.bsky.social uncovers how TE domains were co-opted by host genomes to create novel gene functions. A compelling example of TE-driven innovation. Don’t miss it!

🐡 My new cover art highlights research from the Miska lab @miskalab.bsky.social at U of Cambridge @cambiochem.bsky.social 🧪 The authors present the first pangenome for Lake Malawi cichlids built from the genomes of seven representative species. Full paper 🔗 genome.cshlp.org/content/35/5... (1/3)

@fxquah.bsky.social 's paper is finally out @genomeresearch.bsky.social and we made the cover!! This was only possible due to the brilliant illustration by @sonhita.bsky.social Paper here: genome.cshlp.org/content/35/5... See below for more details 🧵

The Miska Lab at @cambiochem.bsky.social is a diverse & interdisciplinary RNA powerhouse! 💪🧬 We tackle fundamental questions in RNA biology, from epigenetic inheritance to RNA structure & function across C. elegans, Cichlids fishes, and mammalian cells. Curious? Stay tuned! #RNAresearch #LabLife

What do researchers studying RNA structure, RNAi, ncRNA, genome stability, epigenetics & inheritance have in common? 🤯 🧬 If you guessed “They all study RNA,” you're right. But also… they all exist in harmony in the Miska Lab!
