This drawing illustrates how changes in the nervous system of C. elegans worms can affect behavior in future generations through small RNAs that regulate expression of certain genes. Though these so…
Presenting my new EMBO Reports cover - stabilizing mRNA strands for memory formation! Learning and forming memories are fundamental processes essential for survival, requiring precise regulation of memory-related genes. This…
Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The disease-causing bacteria, called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are depicted in the drawing in red. To overcome stress…
Crocheting the mitoribosome - a combination of a hand-drawn illustration with a real structure of the human mitochondrial ribosome. Ribosomes are giant machineries composed of protein and ribosomal RNA that…
My new cover for EMBO Reports - illustrating how editing of RNAs prevents autoimmunity! Our immune system is extremely efficient in protecting us from foreign pathogens, yet at the same…
I designed a patch for a worm space mission! The Molecular Muscle Experiment will be sending worms into space to study the negative effects of spaceflight on the body, and…
It's a wonderful honor to present my new drawing for this year's ASCB|EMBO meeting! Take the ASCB Model Organism quiz to find out what model organism you are! The intricate patterns…
Brain tumors are aggressive and deadly cancers, yet it has been difficult to study them in the laboratory. A new Nature Methods paperreports a ground-breaking method to grow tumors inside…
A gibbon is swinging across a river within an epigenetic landscape, which regulates compaction and expression of our DNA. The arid desert illustrates loosely packed DNA containing actively expressed genes,…
