Marcus Buschbeck and Lab

Adios and salut to a pioneer!

Sir John Gurdon studied the requirements and barriers of #reprogramming.

Highly relevant for us, with his PhD student Vincent Pasque he showed that macroH2A is part of the epigenetic barrier inhibiting reprogramming.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

NEW TEAM MEMBER!

We welcome Bedri Batuhan Yaman to the group. Bedri will study the role of nuclear metabolism in #AML. He is co-supervised by @florherbstein.bsky.social and fellow of the MSCA @nucleardn.bsky.social.

Bedri is alumnus of @viblifesciences.bsky.social (Belgium) and NeuroBM (Turkey).

Looking for scientists working with long-read transcriptomics technologies to join a COST action proposal. Contact us!!! @nanoporetech.com @pacbio.bsky.social

We have a new PhD studentship in the lab on the immunogenic roles of transposable elements in paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia! Come and work with us! www.colcc.ac.uk/2026-cyp-phd...

FAREWELL!

After 6 month of Master research, Francesco B. Ciriscioli is returning to his home university in Triest, Italy.
Thank you, Francesco, for your interesting results and for having enriched our group with your kind personality. We wish you all the best!

Great weather at daytime and northern lights at night time illuminate the scientific kick-off of the #HubMOL #MSCA doctoral network. On Someroy, a small island at the Artic Coast of Norway, we learn about the dual role of molecules such as NAD and SAM in signalling and metabolism.

MEET THE LAB!

During the next 3 days, I am in northern Norway at the kick-off workshop of the HubMOL consortium. This MSCA doctoral network coordinated by Ines Heiland, University of Tromsø, aims to gain a better understanding of the dual role of NAD, CoA and co. in metabolism and signalling.

What a great first day at the GfG symposium on epigenetics & chromatin. Fantastic talks by @akispapantonis.bsky.social , @apombo1.bsky.social, @marcusbuschbeck.bsky.social and Philipp Korber. And Peter Becker giving the Max-Delbrueck lecture. A real treat for the audience!

NEW DOCTOR IN TOWN!

Congratulations to Lejuan Shi from Sonia Forcales' lab who has defended her thesis today.

As chair of her defense committee with Concepcio Soler and @tanyavavouri.bsky.social, I had the opportunity to discuss with Lejuan about the role of lncRNAs in cancer.

NEW LAB MEMBER!

We welcome ‪@florherbstein.bsky.social who is joining us as a‬ ‪@carrerasleaders.bsky.social‬ Postdoctoral Fellow. She is alumni of #IBioBA-MPSP and the University of Buenos Aires.‬‬
She will study how nuclear metabolism influences proliferation and therapy resistance in AML.

Thank you, Manfred.

Last 10 days to apply for this PhD position in medicinal chemistry!

Maybe something we scientists should do in every country to make sure our elected representatives know what we are aiming to do.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of transposable elements and their roles in development and disease - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology Transposable elements (TEs) comprise nearly half of the human genome.
