One frame. Many voices. 🖼️
Science should be a space where curiosity and different perspectives can thrive, regardless of gender – a principle Nellie strongly believes in 🙌 Nellie studied Biology at the University of Munich before moving to Vienna to pursue a Master’s in Molecular Precision Medicine at MedUni Vienna. She joined the Huis lab in October last year, where she investigates how topoisomerases enable sister chromatid decatenation and ensure faithful chromosome segregation using biochemical reconstitution.

🚨 Out now! Meet the ER’s multi-trick pony: a new study from the Karagöz lab in Genes & Development uncovers how the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP3 helps cells cope with stress by fine-tuning the unfolded protein response, revealing a hidden layer of regulation that determines whether cells adapt – or fail.
