Mythili Padavu joins the lab as a doctoral researcher after completing her master's thesis at LMU Munich. Welcome to the team!
Resolves sequence variation across the human 5S rDNA array — one of the genome's least-explored regions — showing that variant 5S rRNAs are expressed and that ribosome-assembly-blocking variants are purged from human populations through p53 surveillance. Accompanied by an interactive atlas.
Explore the interactive atlas →Demonstrates that somatic CBL deficiency selectively impairs B cell development while sparing T cell function, revealing cell-type specific requirements for this E3 ubiquitin ligase.
Expands the genetic and clinical spectrum of X-linked MCTS1 deficiency by identifying four new patients with complete or partial forms, including the first hypomorphic MCTS1 variant.
Awarded the prestigious Emmy Noether grant from the DFG to establish an independent research group.
Received Erstförderung from Fritz Thyssen Stiftung to support our research programme.
Awarded Erstförderung from Else Kröner Fresenius Stiftung.
First-author paper on autoinflammation in CBL loss-of-heterozygosity published.
Officially started as independent group leader at the Gene Center Munich.
