Federico Cerullo

Federico did his PhD at ZMBH in Heidelberg, where he explored translation surveillance pathways, focusing on ribosome stalling and Ribosome-associated Quality Control (RQC). During his main project as a PhD student Federico characterized ribosome collisions in bacteria and discovered how they are sensed and rescued. Looking for new challenges, he joined the Weis lab to explore how glucose starvation influences mRNP assembly in yeast. In his free time, Federico enjoys training sessions in the gym.
