Ribosomes are just like people. They are diverse, they can dance, collide, and experience stress. During stress, the translation process plays a key role in the development of cancer, a discovery made by PhD candidate Sofia Ramalho ➡️ www.nki.nl/news-events/... @sofiaramalho.bsky.social

Last Thursday I defended my PhD at @erasmusmc.bsky.social Thank you so much to all that joined the defence and to @maxkoppers.bsky.social, @madelonmaurice.bsky.social, Celia Berkers and Vered Raz for the great scientific discussion.

New paper from the lab! Want to know if there is a difference in ribosome collisions between your samples? We show that you can detect this in the rRNA reads in your ribosome profiling data. academic.oup.com/nargab/artic...

On this #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience we proudly present to you: our roving scientist! She supports women scientists during their maternity leave, which often happens during a crucial phase in their careers. Read more ➡️ www.nki.nl/news-events/...

Beyond happy to share with you that mine and @thejoanasilva.bsky.social latest work is out in Science Advances! Thank you so much to everyone who took part in this story, especially to @liamfaller.bsky.social and Joana for all supervision. Go check it out! ☺️
