Postdoc @MPIbp @WilflingLab studying quality control & turnover of nuclear pore complexes. Alumna @Yale @Schliekerlab and @UnivGroningen Kampinga lab
Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Joined October 2021
Incredibly grateful to be part of @EMBOFellows which enabled me to attend the Self-leadership for Women course. The insights, empowerment, and connections gained are invaluable! We're ready to contribute to a stronger, more inclusive scientific community. #WomenInScience

Chaperones explained🔬🤓.
This is the video I made for the "Science in Shorts" competition organized by @NaturePortfolio. I had to explain my research in a creative way under 1 minute. I didn't make it to the Top10, but my video was selected to be in their YouTube library 😁.

It was great to contribute to the Night of Science! 🧪 We opened the doors of our institute @MPIbp for an evening and it was really amazing to see so many people interested in science, and to share a small peek into our research @WilflingLab
Science for all!🔬🧬 At the Frankfurt #NightofScience, we showcased our Institute and research with hands-on experiments 🌋, guided tours of our electron microscopy facility, and talks 🎙️ on our methods 🧪 and latest projects!✨#NightofScience #ScienceComms #ScienceIsFun

Started from the 1st of October in the @WilflingLab @MPIbp where I will continue my research on nuclear pore complexes and their quality control 🔬🧫 exciting things to come!.
We are very happy that our newest postdoc colleague, Els, has recently started in the lab! She will be joining our team investigating degradation of nuclear pore complexes by autophagy, using expertise gained during her postdoc time with @Schliekerlab. Welcome Els 🎉🎉🎉

Two weeks ago I heard I got awarded the #Rubicon postdoctoral #fellowship from @NWOFunding!.In December I also received the #EMBO postdoc fellowship @EMBOFellows. It took quite some effort to write the proposals and I feel proud it paid off. Now let's do some cool research!🔬🧬🧫.
15 recently obtained #PhD #researchers will soon leave NL for max. 2 years to conduct research with a Rubicon grant. The U.S. is popular, others travel to Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, the U.K. and Japan. Read about the projects in the news item:

Always interesting to read about new findings on heat shock proteins.
So excited to share our work out in @NatureCellBio !!! We found that small heat shock proteins can translocate to the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where they operate as molecular chaperones. Major findings 👇.

With immense pride I post here that my paper is published in @NatureCellBio! We show that the chaperone DNAJB6 is involved in the biogenesis of nuclear pore complexes, and the maintenance of the disordered proteins that make up the transport barrier.

My friend/colleague whom I shared an office @univgroningen for 5 years got a Rubicon grant! 🥳 .(now I'm getting back to writing mine. 🤞).
Fifteen researchers who have recently received their PhDs can do their research at foreign research institutes thanks to a Rubicon grant from NWO & ZonMw. In this way they can gain international research experience. View the projects awarded funding here:
