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. [more]

The tri-national "Gene Regulation Club" is a half-day symposium that brings together chromatin, epigenetics, and transcription groups from within the Strasbourg (IGBMC), Freiburg (MPI-IE), and Basel (FMI) area. With an informal but high-quality atmosphere, the meeting aims to foster discussion and inspire new and strengthen existing collaborations. The meeting encourages PhD students and Postdocs to present their work. [more]

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

The Lagha lab uses quantitative imaging to uncover the mechanisms regulating gene expression in space and time during development [more]

Started in 2012 at the MPI-IE, the “Forschung höchstpersönlich” talk series offers a platform for our scientists to present their research to non-scientific staff, enhancing understanding and collaboration. Held quarterly and conducted in German, the talks are hosted by the institute's Public Relations Office, fostering a deeper connection within the institute. [more]

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. [more]
