open access: yesJournal of Money, Credit and Banking, Volume 52, Issue S1, Page 197-231, October 2020., 2020
Abstract We show that negative monetary policy rates induce systemic banks to reach‐for‐yield. For identification, we exploit the introduction of negative deposit rates by the European Central Bank in June 2014 and a novel securities register for the 26 largest euro area banking groups.

c‐MYB‐ and PGC1a‐dependent metabolic switch induced by MYBBP1A loss in renal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1519-1533, July 2019., 2019
Under harsh environmental conditions, genetic alterations conferring selective advantages may initiate the growth of tumor subclones. In this work, we performed a genetic loss‐of‐function screen in the absence of glucose. We found that downregulation of MYBBP1A in c‐MYB+ and pVHL− renal carcinoma cell lines switches glycolytic metabolism to oxidative ...

Ewald's Conjecture and integer points in algebraic and symplectic toric geometry

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We solve several open problems concerning integer points of reflexive smooth polytopes, also known as monotone polytopes. While the paper belongs to the realm of discrete geometry, the connection with symplectic and algebraic geometry appears naturally since these polytopes have an important role in both areas.
