We have three new MSc students that joined us on various projects in the last 6 months. Imane Chaouch and Lorenza Casasanta join us from Utrecht University, and Nicola Hallmann joins from ETH Zurich. Wellcome to the group, Imane, Lorenza and Nicola!
We welcome our newest PhD Student, Mathilde Noël! Mathilde studied genetics at the University of Paris Cité then continued her Masters with internships in the labs of Romain Koszul, Alex Stark and Daan Nordermeer. Mathilde will investigate gene control specificity by DNA sequence and chromatin.
We say farewell to our three MSc students that were brave enough to be the first MSc students to join our group in Utrecht. Thank you for all the good work and fun, and we wish you all the best for your future!
Kristeli Eleftheriou joins our group as a postdoctoral fellow. Kristeli studied Biology at the University of Athens and obtained her PhD in the lab of Mark Wossidlo at the Medical University of Vienna working on DNA methylation reprogramming and epimutations during early development. Welcome onboard, we are happy to have you here.
We have a new neighbour! Severin Uebbing joins us from Yale to establish his group at our division. Severin will study how evolutionary changes impact enhancer function using computational and functional genomics. We are very excited to have you here and looking forward to future collaborations.

New paper with Nina Schmolka as the first author investigating NuRD complex function was just published in Nature Communications. Read more HERE
Team competitions in escape room, virtual Formula 1 racing, dinner & drinks, including some of us crashing the UU Science Faculty event.
Davide Recchia successfully defended his PhD thesis on elucidating P300/CBP functions during set cell differentiation. Congratulations Dr. Recchia!
We are very excited to welcome our new neighbours in the Vlaming lab. Hanneke is an expert in transcriptional elongation and termination and aims at understanding how the balance between these processes influence transcriptional outcomes. We are looking forward to great interactions in the future.
