Dr. Victoria Chaves Ribeiro has been awarded the renowned Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA) to carry out her research in Dr. Leidecker’s laboratory at the Institute for Genetics, University of Cologne.
The MSCA is one of the most prestigious funding schemes in Europe for early-career researchers. Funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe, the programme supports outstanding researchers from all over the world in carrying out high-impact, interdisciplinary projects at leading institutions across Europe and beyond. The fellowships aim to foster scientific excellence from a highly skilled, research-driven workforce capable of addressing emerging global challenges.
In Dr. Leidecker’s laboratory, Victoria aims to ‘shed light’ on the functions of the underexplored mono-ADP-ribosylation by developing super-resolution microscopy methods to visualize mono-ADPr localization across different cellular structures. In addition, she will explore the crosstalk between two medically relevant PARPs at the nuclear pore complex.
