Seminars & Events

Professor Wei Xi from the Tsinghua University Bejing, China, joins our Special Guest Lecture Series and will speak about “Decoding the transcription circuitry in early mammalian development”. If you want to join, please contact the host: Nicola Iovino. [more]

In this seminar, Yi Zhang will share his latest research findings and insights into the complex mechanisms that regulate the activation and silencing of genes during early embryonic development. He will discuss the role of chromatin modifications in regulating gene expression, including the dynamic changes that occur during the transition from the maternal to the zygotic genome. [more]

The Swiss Neuroepigeneticists, Johannes Gräff is Associate Professor at Brain Mind Institute at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and joins our Max Planck Seminar in March 2023 and will give a talk on “Epigenetic editing of memory formation”. If you would like to attend the hybrid seminar or have any other inquires, please get in touch with the host. [more]

Denis Duboule, a renowned specialist in developmental genetics and a pioneer in research on Hox genes, joins the Max Planck Special Guest Lecture Series in February 2022. More information soon. If you would like to attend the hybrid seminar or have any other inquires, please contact the organizer. [more]

The Swiss chemist and molecular biologist, Beat Fierz, currently an Associate Professor at the EPFL joins the Max Planck Seminar Series in October 2022. He will give a talk on “Searching and accessing the genome within the dynamic chromatin landscape”. [more]

Karim-Jean Armache is Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at New York University School of Medicine and joins our lecture series to present on “Catalytic and non-catalytic mechanisms of chromatin modifiers”. [more]

Sebastian Preissl joins the Max Planck Seminar Series online. He will give a talk on “Interpreting disease risk associations and untangling cell-type-specific gene regulation using single cell genomics”. If you would like to attend or have any other inquires, please contact: Nicola Iovino (iovino@ie-freiburg.mpg.de). [more]

Felix Jonas (Weizmann Institute) joins the Max Planck Seminar Series online this March and present on “Studying the principles of gene regulation harnessing transcription factor evolution and a novel histone exchange timer”.
