New preprint from the lab
In this new study, led by Akshay Jaya Ganesh and Sandra Fernández Moya , we have investigated the role of the RNA binding Protein STAU2 in the control of human neurogenesis using single-cell transcriptomics and molecular biology approaches. Our results show that STAU2 regulates the speed on neurogenesis by controlling the activity of the gene regulatory networks coordinated by the Transcription factors ARID3A and CHD2. You can find the results of our work in a pre-print on bioRxiv here.
First participation of the lab in the Meeting of the Spanish Society for Neuroscience
For the first time our lab has joined the meeting of SENC, this year in Las Palmas the Gran Canaria. Mireya gave a talk about our work on the study of Alzheimer's Disease using iPSCs and single-cell transcriptomics
New paper from the lab!
After a few years of work, SCALPEL is finally out! Huge congratulations to all authors and specially to Franz, the main responsible for this project

Merry Xmas from the Plass Lab
End-of-the-year celebrations at IDIBELL with the members of the Plass Lab.
The Plass Lab has participated in the XII Jornades de Bioinformàtica i Genòmica in Lleida!
December 2024
Another year, the members of the Plass lab present their work updates on the annual meeting of the Societat Catalana de Biologia on Bioinformatics & Genomics. Franz Ake and Marcel Schilling gave talks on the latest tools developed in the lab while Akshay Ganesh presented the updates of his project on the function of STAU2 in neurogenesis in a poster.
Tikibell Summer party
June 2024
To celebrate summer is already here, we all went to IDIBELL’s summer party.
New pre-print from the lab!
June 2024
We present here SCALPEL, a new tool for isoform quantification at the single cell level. In this work, we show that isoform quantification is a powerful tool to gain novel biological insights using single-cell data, including the identification of novel cell populations and the inference of miRNA function. If you want to know more about the work you can find the preprint. here and the software available on GitHub.
Goodbye dinner for Sandra and Rafa
May 2024
After a few years in the lab, the core of the STAU2 team leaves us. We wish you the best!
