RNA processing in the nervous system, development, and functional genetics.
New year, new platform! You can now find us in this friendly place: @hilgerslab.bsky.social
The Epigenetics Meeting in Freiburg is known for being pretty packed. Thus, right after the keynote by Patrick Cramer, we continued with Rob Martienssen, @hitenmadhani, Valérie Hilgers (@hilgers_lab), Ayele Denboba @a_denboba as well as Yoichi Shinkai from @riken_en)
Very proud to have been awarded an ERC Consolidator grant for research on neuronal RNAs! Rock on, team!
Wow. Congratulations to Valérie Hilgers (@hilgers_lab) 🎉! She has been awarded the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant by @ERC_Research! More on her project on alternative processing of RNA molecules in neurons here: ie-freiburg.mpg.de/5985387/2024_1…
Looking forward to speak at this exciting event! Can't wait to meet fellow #epigenetics and #RNA aficionados/aficionadas!
We invite all #RNA and #epigenetic enthusiasts to join us on 8 November @MPIAGE for our 7th Rhineland RNA Club meeting (sponsored by @RNASociety @lexogen and epi-club CMMS). We have fantastic local speakers and two exciting invited speakers @hilgers_lab and @boettcher_lab !🧑🔬👩🔬👨🔬
Proud to be part of this fantastic community of RNA researchers!
Welcome to Valérie Hilgers (@hilgers_lab) as a new Associate Member of the NCCR RNA & Disease! Her group studies alternative RNA processing in the nervous system. bit.ly/4gmg36N @DepBiomedicine @UniBasel_en
Maybe the best news of the year! New Director at the @mpi_ie/@maxplanckpress 🥳 Nicola Iovino @Iovino_Lab is the new Director of the Department of Developmental Epigenetics – studying the impact of epigenetics on biological diversity & evolution. More: ie-freiburg.mpg.de/5852277/2024_0…
Now @hilgers_lab, representating @embl PhDs, talks about RNA processing in fly neurons. I didn’t meet Valerie until last week, when we did an epic open-water sea swim, for which she spontaneously volunteered. Huge waves. #EMBL #alumni community is everywhere & courageous #EMBL50
Honored to speak today at @EMBL's 50th anniversary celebration conference #embl50 ! So many familiar faces and cool science. An exceptional place with exceptional people past and present.
New job, starting next summer! Extremely excited to join the extraordinary scientific environment at @UniBasel and the @DepBiomedicine.
Professor Valérie Hilgers will be the new professor of anatomy and cell biology at the Faculty of Medicine. Hilgers’s research focuses on alternative RNA processing in the nervous system. @hilgers_lab @DepBiomedicine 3/8
EMBL turns 50 this year! 🎂 To celebrate, we are hosting an exciting scientific symposium on 4–5 July, in Heidelberg and online. It’s not too late to join our golden anniversary virtually. Register for #EMBL50 here: embl.org/about/info/cou…
We are thrilled to share our latest work in @biorxivpreprint! We demonstrate that ELAV globally mediates neural circRNA expression. Spearheaded by @extended_gene with the collaborative effort of the @hilgers_lab team!

My annual reminder that only 4% of Nobels in science and medicine have gone to women.
The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Learn more: nobelprize.org/prizes/chemist…

It was such an honor to visit the University of Colorado and be the first Blumenthal lecturer!
Join us tomorrow for the inaugural Blumenthal Lectureship in RNA Biology with @hilgers_lab! This annual lectureship is supported by a gift from Dr. Tom Blumenthal, former Chair of @CU_BMG, and former Director of @CrnicInstitute. @rnabioco @BioFrontiers
