💡 Oggi è la Giornata Internazionale delle Donne e delle Ragazze nella Scienza 👩🔬Solo il 33% dei laureati STEM è donna e il divario cresce lungo la carriera 🌏Il 72% delle partecipanti al nostro progetto sono donne e mostrano alle classi che le scienziate sono protagoniste
I don’t post here much anymore, but this one is an important announcement for us: 🚨We are Recruiting! So come join us! 🚨#RNA #CancerResearch

What happens when you overexpress one subunit of the RNA Pol II? Well, it depends on the subunit, but all deregulate transcription and induce genome instability @AgaGambus @GregersenLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
New paper with @KokicGoran and @SvejstrupLab in Cell Press! We show that STK19 facilitates the clearance of lesion-stalled RNAPII during transcription-coupled DNA repair. Great teamwork by @dianavandenheu2 , @MartaRodrgzMart, Paula van der Meer! cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/6
It is finally out! My first @ScienceMagazine paper is online and it does not seem real😃. I am Incredibly happy! Really thanks to all my coauthors and special mention to my incredible supervisor @iDikic2 for all the support and trust ! 🫶. Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
