ERC Synergy Grant for Marina Rodnina’s CHAPEROME project
Marina Rodnina, member of our SFB, has received funding of almost €10 million through a Synergy Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for her CHAPEROME project in collaboration with Judith Frydman (Stanford, USA) and Johannes Buchner (TUM, Munich). The team will investigate how chaperones control protein synthesis on the ribosome and help cells to adapt to stress such as changing physiological conditions. Congratulations!

1st Symposion on Interconnections and Cross-Regulation of Gene Expression Processes in Göttingen.
The first symposium of the SFB1565, titled “Interconnections and Cross-Regulation of Gene Expression Processes”, was held from September 17 to 19, 2025, at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen. The conference brought together researchers from the participating institutions in Berlin, Göttingen, Würzburg, and from researchers across Europe and US to discuss recent advances in understanding the connections between transcription, RNA processing, translation, and cellular organization. The event featured insightful talks and lively discussions, fostering collaboration and exchange on key topics in gene expression regulation. The symposium also provided a platform for early-career researchers to present their work during a poster session that drew significant interest and attendance and sparked inspiring discussions. Thank you to all speakers, participants and organizer for making the 1st SFB1565 Symposium a success.
