Congratulations, this looks fantastic!

And another opportunity! Any postdocs looking forward to start your lab on a tenure track? Supportive environment, great core facilities and an outstanding PhD program.

Congratulations, Rebecca! The first one is a very special one!

My colleagues are awesome!

Congrats to everyone! A special shout out to Maria Garcia Gallardo who will be supported by he @oeaw.bsky.social DOC fellowship to study how enhancers regulate transcriptional bursting!

Attend the CSH Asia meeting on Systems Biology of Gene Regulation and Genome Editing, organized by Len Pennacchio, Alex Stark, Zhiping Weng, and Wei Xie (all blueskyless), featuring a great lineup of speakers and a beautiful location in Suzhou. Abstract submission deadline: August 18th.

My favorite was when I had to fill two committees, one we got 40% female, the other one ended up with 70% female. The one with 40% was the one where we had to make adjustments.

I did not realize that you will leave already! A huge loss for us and such a gain for Heidelberg!

beautiful work from @evgenykvon.bsky.social and @gracebower.bsky.social! Congratulations!

🆕 publication! Cells don’t just fight infection - they fine-tune their immune response. A new study from the Versteeg lab in @narjournal.bsky.social led by Adrian Söderholm uncovers how RNA processing of JAK2 helps regulate immune signals ➡️ tinyurl.com/2py27c8u

New Paper!
How do human B cells use dynamic DNA topology during antibody maturation? Our research published in Molecular Cell reveals how somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) work in the context of a regulated multiway 3D chromatin hub. (1/10) 🧵

Regulation of somatic hypermutation by higher-order chromatin structure Schoeberl et al. employ Tri-C to unravel the higher-order chromatin architecture underpinning the co-transcriptional mutagenesis of immunoglobulin genes during antibody maturation in human B cells. They provide evidence that antibody maturation occurs within a dynamic multiway hub wherein transcription and mutation of different genes occur non-competitively.

Wohoo! Congratulations, @sramundo.bsky.social !

So deserved! Elly is one of my role models and favorite colleagues at the @vbcscitraining.bsky.social! Always insightful, never dismissive and a wonderful person!

Really nice work, Evgeny! and Ethan gave a fantastic talk at the EMBO workshop last week!

enjoy! I will miss it, but heard Joanna talk about it this morning! Great job!

Very exciting news for for Alwin and the Perutz!

Ein weiterer @erc.europa.eu Advanced Grant geht an Alwin Köhler, Leiter der @maxperutzlabs.bsky.social, dem Joint Venture von Universität Wien und der @meduniwien.ac.at. Herzliche Gratulation! 🎉🥳

Congratulations, Emma! That is such a fantastic accomplishment!

I will be speaking at Fragile Nucleosome next week, join if you want to hear about the impact of endogenous retroviruses on human preimplantation development!

Just stumbled upon a German tongue-twister song by Bodo Wartke… about the sexiest cell organelle. Yes, endoplasmic reticulum - your moment has come.

It was a pleasure to mentor @isabellavoelkl.bsky.social during her excellent PhD! and a big thank you to @cilialab.bsky.social, Stephanie Ellis and @mendjanlab.bsky.social for a great discussion!

Congrats to Isabella Völkl from the Bücker lab, who just defended her PhD thesis "Unraveling the function of centrioles and cilia in early mouse embryogenesis"! 👏👩‍🎓

Bushes with roses in a backyard

The roses in our backyard are going crazy. There are certain spots where it smells just unbelievable!

🆕 publication! What do centriolar satellites really do? In @jcb.org the Dammermann lab challenges the idea that they simply shuttle proteins to the centrosome and cilium. Instead, their findings reveal a surprising new role linked to translation and protein quality control. More tinyurl.com/4dnb2c24
