How are mRNAs linked to molecular motors in mammalian cells? In our new preprint, we show that FXR1/2 are RNA adaptors for the microtubule motor dynein. Our findings have also prompted us to rethink how activating adaptors contribute to motor-based transport (1/n)

Such an honor to receive the Francis Crick Medal from the Royal Society. As I always say, I am just very lucky to have worked with amazing people. Big shoutout to all past and present lab members, mentors, colleagues and collaborators for continuing inspiring me!
