Prof. Bing Zhu, PhD is investigator at Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He joins the Max Planck Freiburg Special Guest Lecture Series in May 2025. [mehr]

Danny Leung is the lead investigator for the Hong Kong Epigenome project and serves as director of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Center for Epigenomics Research. He is currently an associate professor in the Division of Life Science, HKUST. His lab’s research focuses on the interplay between epigenetic pathways in the regulation of non-coding DNA. [mehr]

Apoorva Baluapuri earned his PhD at the Cancer Systems Biology Lab at University of Würzburg (Elmar Wolf now in Kiel), Germany in 2021. He received a Walter Benjamin Fellowship from German Research Council (DFG) to study of mRNA synthesis in the lab of Karen Adelman at Harvard Medical School. In Boston, Apoorva investigates the mechanisms and modularity of gene regulation by the Integrator complex and applying these findings to cancer therapeutics. [mehr]

We are delighted to invite you to to the second symposium, “Epigenetics of Early Mouse Development”, taking place on April 24, 2025, at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg. [mehr]

Dr. Stefanie Grosswendt, head of a BIH junior research group in the joint research focus “Single Cell Approaches for Personalized Medicine” of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), the MDC and Charité, Berlin, joins our lecture series to present a talk on “Cell communication uncovered in single-cell resolved neighborhoods”.

Dr. Ana Marija Jakšić is a researcher in evolutionary neurobiology and »EPFL Life Sciences Early Independent Research« (ELISIR) scholar who merges experimental evolutionary biology and neuroscience in her lab at EPFL School of Life Science, Brain Mind Institute in Switzerland. [mehr]

Wayo Matsushima is an EMBO/JSPS Postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Didier Trono at EPFL. He studies regulatory evolution driven by transposable elements. [mehr]

David Coda is a HPFS postdoctoral researcher in the Graeff lab at EPFL, where he has been working since 2019. He completed his PhD at the Francis Crick Institute, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Caroline Hill. Davide Coda has a long-standing interest in epigenetics, with his early research focusing on its role in cell fate specification and development. Currently, his work investigates the epigenetic mechanisms underpinning learning and memory, combining his expertise in epigenetics with molecular neuroscience. His projects employ in vivo CRISPR-based editing approaches alongside advanced NGS techniques to uncover novel insights into these processes. [mehr]

Dr. Hannah Uckelmann is Max-Eder junior research group leader at University Hospital Goethe Universität Frankfurt, Germany. Her lab focuses on studying the epigenetic regulation of self-renewal programs during cancer development and the discovery of new therapeutics. Hannah discovered an unexpected role of mutant NPM1 on chromatin representing the molecular basis for the effectiveness of targeted epigenetic therapies in NPM1 mutant AML. NPM1c cooperates with other chromatin factors to change the chromatin landscape and enhance transcriptional output at its target sites. She and her team continued investigating NPM1c-driven leukemogenesis with focus on novel therapeutic therapies in NPM1 mutant AML. [mehr]

Marieke Oudelaar heads a Lise Meitner Group at the MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences on “Genome Organization and Regulation”. She will be joining our Special Guest Lecture Series in June 2024 to talk about her research on the regulation of gene expression in the three-dimensional genome. [mehr]

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming symposium, "Epigenetics of Early Mouse Development," taking place on June 13, 2024, at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg. [mehr]

Amniotes exhibit a diverse range of sex chromosome systems. Mammals typically employ the XX/XY system, while birds utilize the ZZ/ZW system. Reptiles present an array of systems, such as XX/XY, ZZ/ZW, and even temperature-dependent sex determination methods. The evolution of these sex chromosomes significantly differs across various amniote species. Professor Kaessmann from Heidelberg will be a featured speaker at the Max Planck Special Guest Seminar. In his talk titled "The Origins and Evolution of Amniote Sex Chromosomes," he will delve into the latest research findings on this intriguing subject. [mehr]

Join us for an enlightening talk by Prof. Dr. Raffaella Santoro from the University of Zurich, titled "Genome organization in and around the nucleolus". [mehr]
