It was a great pleasure to contribute to this publication from our new neighbours in the Schwank Lab.

Latest paper from the lab published in Nature Biotechnology where we repurpose chromatin reader domains to visualise and localise chromatin modifications, as well as measure their protein interactions in living cells.

Also, don’t miss Rodrigo’s “Behind the Paper” blogpost in Bioengineering:
Tobias Morf joins the Lab as a new Biomedicine MSc student.
Martin Cusack joined as Postdoctoral fellow in our and Michael Weller’s lab at the University Hospital Zurich. Martin obtained his PhD from the University of Oxford at the Ludwig Cancer Research under the supervision of Skirmantas Kriaucionis.
Ramon Pfänder is back for more! After successfully finishing his MSc work, he has rejoined our group for a short stay as research assistant.
We are very happy to announce that we have received the ERC Consolidator Grant 2019. We are extremely grateful for this amazing opportunity to push our research further.
