معرفی
Dr. Eva Absmeier is a Group Leader at the Freie Universität Berlin within the Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy, leading the mRNA Translation and Turnover Group. Her research focuses on post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms, particularly the interplay between mRNA translation, decay, and RNA-binding proteins (RBE3L and RNA helicases). She employs advanced structural biology techniques including cryogenic electron microscopy, macromolecular crystallography, and AlphaFold predictions to investigate these processes.
- Laboratory Activities: Recombinant protein production, in vitro translation assays, and crosslinking mass spectrometry.
- Lab Members: Includes PhD candidates Chengxi Pan and Marina Serra Canales, and lab rotation student Sarah Plößner.
Her group explores how RNA structures and interactomes influence translation efficiency and mRNA stability, with recent work involving clathrin inhibitor development (Pitstop 2c/2d) for studying endocytic pathways. Open positions are available for motivated students and researchers.
