@mariasecrier.bsky.social & I are looking for an enthusiastic & excellent data scientist for a 4-year postdoc to understand cell cycle dysregulation in cancer. Deadline 15th October. Get in touch if you have any questions. Please repost! More details: www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

My first post on bsky to share our latest research in @nature.com: “DNA2 enables growth by restricting recombination-restarted replication” - defines DNA2’s essential function & elucidates links with primordial dwarfism and cancer. Thanks to the lab, collaborators & @ukri.org @acmedsci.bsky.social

new out in Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So utterly honoured to have been recruited, mentored and supported by this incredibly influential individual. Long may he happily retire. @gdsc-sussex.bsky.social

Yadav, Jadhav, @hanasedlackova.bsky.social et al present a novel cell-permeable biotin-HaloTag ligand. The reported ligand expands the HaloTag toolbox by enabling in vivo labeling & providing capabilities for efficient affinity capture of protein variants from live cells rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Our new non-denaturing nanoscale 3D DNA tracing technology provides single-cell (and sister-chromatid specific!) readout of chromatin structure with 10kb genomic resolution - Check it out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congratulations to Kai and Oyvind!!

new out in Nature, the latest on the cell cycle in fission yeast, lovely basic biology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cytarabine has been the mainstay for AML treatment for over 50 years. This chemotherapy can lead to problems with movement and balance. Here we explain this neurotoxic side-effect. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Work led by Jia-Cheng Liu, Donpeng Wang and Elsa Callen and terrific collaborators!

Delighted to share that the results of my main postdoc project are now published in @nature.com 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Proud to present our work identifying a role for DIAPH1 and gamma-actin in regulating DSB repair and how defects in this pathway give rise to human disease. Big thanks to everyone involved, especially Beth Woodward, Sudipta Lahiri and @anoopsinghchauhan.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(1/n) Thread @matteomazzocca.bsky.social @domenicnarducci.bsky.social Simon Grosse-Holz @jessematthias.bsky.social preprint Q: how does chromatin move? Using MINFLUX, SPT & SRLCI, we track chromatin dynamics across 7 orders of magnitude in time to provide answers www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Exciting PhD project available in our lab (time sensitive)! 👇

I am overjoyed to share that I have been selected as a Lundbeck Fellow 2025. Thank you to @lundbeckfonden.bsky.social for their trust in me - My lab and I cannot wait to get started on this important work.

Want to learn more about chromatin and its dynamics? Read this review by Charlotte and Jolijn in our lab, aimed at giving an overview on this and the ways this is dealt with during transcription, replication and damage repair. Thanks to Biochemistry for inviting us! doi.org/10.1021/acs....

this week 20 years ago, Nature published two seminal papers showing for the first time that BRCA-mutant cells were selectively sensitive to PARP inhibitors, paving the way for clinical trials and approval of PARP inhibitors for patients with BRCA-mutant ovarian and breast cancers, and beyond.

A beautiful News & Views by @unterholznerlab.bsky.social highlighting our latest paper in @natsmb.nature.com, where we show that transcription stress triggers an inflammatory response through the release of IL-1α. rdcu.be/ehkTV

Excited to share our new pre-print. Direct, ensemble FRET assays developed by our lab reveal that assembly of Rad51 filaments at stalled replication sites via RPA/Rad51 exchange causes complete & irreversible PCNA unloading. Big implications for interplay between human DNA damage tolerance pathways

An insightful preview by Scott Friedman highlighting our recent findings on the role of hepatic stellate cells in metabolic regulation 🙌🏻 Out today in Cell Metabolism @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📢 For all DNA fiber enthusiasts! 🟥🟩 We are thrilled to announce the release of our long-awaited AI-based workflow for the automated and quantitative analysis of DNA fibers. It's an exciting step forward—check it out on bioRxiv! lnkd.in/dQWUPtsP

PAF15-PCNA assembly exhaustion governs lagging strand replication and replisome integrity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.15.641049v1

Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by an exceptional PhD student Gita Chhetri and with the support of wonderful collaborators, we find that replisome function is rate-limited by strand-specific PCNA dynamics. Hope you will enjoy reading. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Brief teaser:

Very excited to share that my thesis work is out in Molecular Cell! We trained a Structure and Omics informed Classifier (SPOC) to score binary AlphaFold multimer (AF-M) predictions by structural quality and consistency with experimental omics datasets. www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Check out our latest paper now online at Cell Metabolism: Hepatic stellate cells regulate liver fatty acid utilization via plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein. Amazing work by Daniel, Jasmin, Christian, Peter, Oliver from @ravnskjaer_lab, and many more 🏆💐♥️ www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Let’s stop treating "leaving academia" as negative. Scientists train for academia, industry, or what suits them. Industry isn’t an alternative; it’s a choice. In fields like engineering, most PhDs go to industry, and no one calls it "leaving academia." We should train scientists for diverse paths.
