Eleftheria Zeggini Awarded EMBO MembershipEleftheria Zeggini, founding director of the Institute of Translational Genomics at Helmholtz Zentrum München, has been elected a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
The Cut and Restore Protein Trick:A new bioengineered reporter system with self-excising designer proteins llows for the first time to follow protein isoform expression over time in live cells. The method helps to decipher the underlying regulatory mechanisms and enables screening for potential molecular interventions.
