Group Leader Valentin Flury

Valentin Flury studied biochemistry and molecular biology, earning a M.Sc. from the University of Bern (Switzerland). He completed his Ph.D. at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel (Switzerland) studying how active chromatin is protected from being silenced. Under the supervision of Prof. Marc Bühler, Valentin Flury showed that multiple components of active chromatin form a positive feedback loop that prevents the deposition of repressive histone modifications and gene silencing.

Following his Ph.D., Valentin Flury conducted postdoctoral research at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR), University of Copenhagen (Denmark) under the mentorship of Prof. Anja Groth.  His research centered on deciphering the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is propagated and maintained across cell divisions with a focus on histone recycling during DNA replication and subsequent restoration of the chromatin landscape.

In 2024, Valentin Flury was appointed as an Independent Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg (Germany).
