Researchers led by Marieke Oudelaar and Elisa Oberbeckmann at our MPI have now succeeded in recreating the 3D folding of the yeast genome in the lab and deciphering the underlying mechanisms.
The European Research Council (ERC) is funding the three Göttingen Campus academics Hauke Hillen, Marieke Oudelaar, and Saskia Limbach with an ERC Starting Grant of about 1.5 million euros each for a period of five years. 
With the new method developed by Marieke Oudelaar and her team, the regulation of DNA and its activity can be studied in more detail than was previously possible. Ultimately, this can contribute to a better understanding of the genetic underpinnings of human diseases.
Our Lise Meitner group leader receives the Bayer Early Excellence in Science Award for her successful research. She investigates the spatial organization of DNA and its relationship with gene activity.
Marieke Oudelaar has been leading the first Lise Meitner Group at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences since October 2020. Her research group, “Genome Organization and Regulation,” is dedicated to understanding how the organization of DNA in our cells relates to the regulation of gene activity.
In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast by ActiveMotif, Marieke Oudelaar speaks about her work on chromatin organization during development and disease.
