Our lab at the FASEB RNA Decay conference

At the FASEB Science Research Conference "Mechanisms of RNA Decay" in Lisbon on 18-22 Aug 2024 we had the pleasure to meet up with our colleagues and collaborators and to present our research results.

Katarzyna Bandyra gave an invited talk "A cooperative PNPAse-HFQ-RNA Carrier complex facilitates bacterial riboregulation" describing her recently published work.

Maria Górna presented a poster "ApaH-like phosphatase ALPH1, the unusual decapping enzyme of Trypanosoma brucei". Leticia Pereira (Susanne Kramer lab, University of Würzburg) also represented our work in the WEAVE consortium with her poster "A unique mRNA decapping enzyme with a unique substrate preference". Our research on ALPH1 is supported by WEAVE-UNISONO trilateral DFG-GACR-NCN funding (National Science Centre, Poland 2022/04/Y/NZ1/00114)

The conference was a great opportunity for networking and collaboration. We are grateful to L'Oreal Poland and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Poland for the support of Katarzyna and Maria and their participation to the conference.
