The lab has been awarded a €150,000 ERC Proof of Concept Grant for his project Food quality control by RNA profiling (foodRNA). The funding will go into developing and testing methods to apply RNA profiling to detect food fraud. 🥳 🥦 🥩 🇪🇺
The research will be conducted at Stockholm University and SciLifeLab. Applications for related postdoc position to open soon!
Very cosy dinner at Veu de ville to welcome Konstantin Danilov the newest member in our team
Congratulations to our Dr. Vaishnovi Sekar for defending her PhD thesis!
Our lab had a blast at the non-coding genome conference in Heidelberg! An amazing week of science which also included a presentation of our own agoTRIBE method!
Great presentations ✅
Engaging discussions ✅
German “delicacies” ✅
You can see more photos from the conference here.
Read the research highlight from our latest study to detect miRNA-target interaction in single cells was published on SciLiifeLab news site. Read the complete study here.
agoTRIBE overcomes the limitations of current techniques by enabling the identification of direct microRNA-target interactions in single cells, effectively providing a comprehensive profile of the target transcriptome on a single-cell scale. Read full research here
Our latest groundbreaking research, which sheds light on 130-year-old RNA molecules extracted from the extinct Tasmanian tiger, has garnered extensive coverage across multiple news platforms. Explore the news articles below to delve into the exciting findings:

In our groundbreaking latest study, we have uncovered the hidden secrets of ancient RNA molecules within a preserved Tasmanian tiger specimen. This collaboration between SciLifeLab and the Centre for Palaeogenetics (CPG) at Stockholm University offers vital insights into extinct species’ transcriptomes, with implications for species resurrection and pandemic RNA virus research.

Marc Friedländer has been awarded a consolidator grant from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) for the project “Intrinsic synchronization of gene activity”. This will enable our research in single-cell biology for the next five years!
We are grateful for the generous grant from Cancerfonden – which will fund our efforts to discover cancer-specific microRNAs that are not present in healthy tissues. Such microRNAs could arise from perturbed cellular states and would be ideal biomarkers and drug targets. The grant will cover a new PhD position (see our JOIN US section)!
This study used a screening approach to measure microRNA biogenesis of >10,000 RNA structures in living cells and complemented with studying microRNA expression in hundreds of tissues from 20 animal species from MirGeneDB. It was conducted in collaboration with the Fromm lab and the GOLD lab. Read the full study here.
