Brilliant #PhD opportunities for anyone interested in #chromatin, #genetics or #epigenetics!

Lots of exciting chromatin biology - and great recaps!

Beyond carrying out vital research, our staff are involved in lots of science outreach activities every year. Recently, we hosted pupils for our annual Careers Lab. This programme is designed to inspire the next generation of STEM scientists & supporters. More: www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/students/car...

How does (local #DNA) structure affect (3D #genome) structure? Can mutating G4s abolish #enhancers key for #blood function? In the second part of our explorations of #G4s in gene regulation, we show how abolishing G-quadruplex structures in the genome disrupts enhancers. 1/9 doi.org/10.1186/s130...

We heard about "Alternative DNA structures in enhancer-promoter communication" from @seanflynn.bsky.social from @uniofexeter.bsky.social #Epigenetics2025 @uniofexeternews.bsky.social

A great opportunity to work on #epigenetics, #genetics and gene regulation in #neuroscience with an inspirational young PI - please share and apply!

Congratulations to @isabelesain.bsky.social, who is awarded the 2024 CRUK Cambridge Institute PhD Thesis Prize. In her doctoral research, Bel discovered a new molecular mechanism in cancer gene regulation opening up a new therapeutic window for cancer treatments. www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/bel-esa...

A great #PhD opportunity for anyone interested in #epigenetics in #neurons and the broader context of #neuroscience - having worked with @seanflynn.bsky.social and Jack, they are brilliant choices for mentors!
