| ==Current position==
| |
| I am a grad student in the [http://gerber.openwetware.org/ Gerber Lab] at the ETH Zurich, working on post-transcriptional gene regulation, and was recruited through the [http://www.lifescience-graduateschool.ch/index.php?id=17 Molecular Life Sciences] program of the [http://www.lifescience-graduateschool.ch/ Life Science Zurich Graduate School].<br/><br/>
| |
| Tentative title of the project: ''[[Gerber:Projects|"Systematic Analysis of the Crosstalk between Regulatory RNA-Binding Proteins and the MicroRNA Machinery"]]''.<br/><br/>
| |
| I am an initiator of the [http://www.rna.ethz.ch/ RNA Club Zurich] and the (currently defunct) Zurich-based "Web Utilities and Software Seminar". Furthermore I maintain the web presence of the [http://gerber.openwetware.org/ Gerber Lab] (currently moving to the UK).
