Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.

A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner

His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.

An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

It has been a lot of fun to present our research focus and get to know the @gfgenetik.bsky.social! Thank you so much for having me and organising this great symposium! Looking forward to the next one!

Discrete Subdomains Establish Epigenetic Diversity in Subtelomeric Heterochromatin Subtelomeres are imperfect repeats adjacent to telomeres that are repressed by heterochromatin. Although essential for genome integrity, their repetitive nature has thwarted dissection of local hetero...

This one feels special: our latest work on subtelomeric heterochromatin is now on www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....
This story was driven by the virtuoso PhD work of Agnisrota Mazumder @agnisrota.bsky.social, co-mentored with @al-sadylab.bsky.social, and grew out of our #MSCA Cell2Cell network.

🚀 Our new paper is out @natmethods.nature.com!

Kuffer & Marzilli engineered conditionally stable MS2 & PP7 coat proteins (dMCP & dPCP) that degrade unless bound to RNA, enabling ultra–low-background, single-mRNA imaging in live cells.

What a special moment!🙌🙌🙌

Huge thanks to @ec.europa.eu for selecting my proposal EpiMoSis and everyone (colleagues, past and present lab members) that supported me along the way! 🙏🙏

I am also very happy to share this special moment with my colleague @julianeg.bsky.social at the MPI-IE who also got the grant🥳🥳🥳

#ERCStG

In "Epigenome Maintenance on Sister Chromatids" (EpiMosis), we will dissect how cells make sure to copy their epigenome to both daughter cells to maintain cell function and identity. 🧐 🧬

We will be hiring a PhD student and Postdocs soon, so feel free to contact me for any informal inquiries! 👥

Excited and very grateful to announce that I have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant by @erc.europa.eu! 🎉 This is a fantastic opportunity to further build my team at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics (@mpi-ie.bsky.social) exploring new grounds in fundamental research:

🥳 Thrilled to share that our lab has been awarded an ERC StGrant for our project SigReg: Signal to Regeneration!

How can we unlock limb regeneration in adult mammals?

It’s time to apply what we learned from 🐸 ➡️ 🐭

Thank you @erc.europa.eu for supporting ambitious science!!!

We have lift off!! 🚀 Yesterday was the official opening of EpiC! The DNRF Center for Epigenetic Cell Memory at the Danish Cancer Institute!
Our EpiC team with director Anja Groth @groth-anja.bsky.social, were joined by Jesper Fisker, CEO @cancer.dk & Niels Mejlgaar, CEO @dg.dk to celebrate 🎉

Last week, we bid farewell to our Summer student Jean.🍹👋 It was great having you in the lab and we wish you all the best finishing your studies!🍀 See you soon!🥳

Congrats and all the best! See you at TriRhena!😀

It is not always safe to repair DNA Damage. Sometimes, cells "just bypass it".

During DNA replication, repair of lesions on DNA can be dangerous. Cells instead "tolerate" DNA damage and focus on finishing replication.

📢 Excited to share my World View article, just published in @NatureSMB, where I reflect on returning to Czechia and building research group grounded in collaboration🤝, resilience and curiosity💡. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
