We are a team of biomedical and biochemical scientists who investigate biological questions at the interface of ribosome and RNA biology, specifically how mRNA translation regulation by the ribosome shapes the innate immune response and cell states. We are passionate about RNA-mediated mechanisms of disease, innate immunity, and mRNA therapeutics. We also love to train the next generation of scientists. The team is led by Prof. Dr. Kathrin Leppek.
To learn more about the team, see current lab members below.
Are you a self-motivated and aspiring RNA enthusiast? Do you have an interest in ribosome biology, translation control, regulatory RNA elements and structures, innate immune biology, or RNA tool development? Would you like to tackle these big questions together, in a collaborative environment with integrative science? We would love to hear from you!
