So honored to share that I've been awarded a scholarship by the Christiane-NΓΌsslein-Volhard foundation ππ - supporting #WomenInScience who are raising kids!
The invisible load of combining family and research career is real and rarely so directly acknowledged. Thank you, CNV foundation! π¦ π»π©πΌβπ¬π§πΌπ§πΌπΆπΌ
Funded PhD studentship (UK students only) available on clinical proteomics, application deadline 22nd March for Oct 2026 start!
This project seeks to understand treatment responses to exacerbations experienced by people with CF using proteomics.

The climate crisis is accelerating - 2025 looks set to become UKβs hottest year on record. Good to see focus on importance of resilience on #r4today- pls take a moment to sign petition calling on Govt to introduce a fully funded national climate adaptation plan petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Iβm excited to share a new postdoctoral opportunity in my lab at Stanford to study the consequences of gene dosage alterations in iPS cells. Check out the posting below and shoot me an email if youβre interested -
Just published in JBC @asbmbjournals.bsky.social - HSV-1 pUL21 teaches us that the universe of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) binders may be much larger than previously recognised: www.jbc.org/article/S002...

What a great conference #Candida2025 was! So happy about having met so many friendly new faces, and great to have had so much interest in how we do high throughput #proteomics with natural C albicans isolates. Looking forward to fun new collaborations! Thank you @microbiologysociety.org β€οΈ
Amazing! Congrats Rachel πππ
New preprint from the lab: we show that the ability to switch mating type was lost at least 13 times independently in the evolution of S. cerevisiae. At least 27% of isolates are heterothallic with a strong association with polyploidy and heterozygosity

how (yeast) cells re-climb the fitness landscape when they are reprogrammed to a different telomere DNA sequences (human-like)? read the latest from @melaniadangiolo.bsky.social etal , with great help and insights from Eric Gilson, Jonas Warringer and @juliamuenzner.bsky.social (& Ralser lab)
Superhappy to share the last paper from my PhD in @litinice.bsky.social lab. We evolved yeasts with humanized telomeric repeats and discovered that they adapt through amplification of telomere-binding proteins and inactivation of the DNA damage response.

New tenure track assistant professor position in molecular microbiology in our department @dmf-unil.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social! We are casting a wide net for an experimental molecular microbiologist. Apply here: wwwfbm.unil.ch/releve/appli...
Congratulations to our PhD student Amy Wolstenholme for winning the Poster Prize at the EMBL Drug Resistance meeting #EESDrugResistance this week
Amy's poster showed that circular DNAs providing copper resistance can be stably transmitted for hundreds of generations in yeast
We only managed to snap a picture last minute when leaving the conference - the amazing talks and super friendly and thought-provoking chats during the breaks kept me busy for sure! Really looking forward to the next installment ππ¦ π§«π©πΌβπ¬
Goodbye to #EESDrugResistance @embo.org - what a fantastic conference it was! Really cool to see the overlaps between fungal, cancer, and bacterial biology. Thought I'd use the chance to say thank you to the organizers π and migrate from the evil place to #academic Bluesky at the same time.
