Neurobiology meets RNA processing

The year 2026 is off to a strong start for Erinc Hallacli, who has secured new funding from the Herzfelder’sche Familienstiftung to pursue an ambitious research project at the interface of neurobiology and RNA metabolism. The grant supports his project ‘Impact of aSyn Fibrils on Human Neuronal RNA Metabolism’, which investigates how pathogenic protein aggregates influence RNA decay in neurons – an underexplored aspect of neurodegenerative disease biology.
