Team Cell Biology: Prof. Dr. Michael Feldbrügge
The mission of RabLab is to understand the RNA biology of Ustilago maydis. Focus of our research is to explore how RNA regulation orchestrates cellular processes.
We are happy to be part of the research group FOR 5116 "exRNA: Communication between plants and microbes through extracellular RNA", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), that has just been granted a further funding period! The project, led by the University of Hamburg, is located at the interface between agricultural sciences and biology. Read more here (in German only)
Congratulations to Summia and Gabriel from Veras and Florians lab!
We are thrilled to announce the recent publication of their manuscript titled "Jasmonic acid signalling is targeted by a smut fungal Tin2-fold effector" on bioRxiv. Read more about the joined effort from the two labs here.
