Our latest collaboration with the talented Susi @sbantele.bsky.social and Jiri Lukas is out now @science.org 🤩. We reveal the hidden price for DNA repair, with potential implications for genome function, gene therapy and ageing👇

We have lift off!! 🚀 Yesterday was the official opening of EpiC! The DNRF Center for Epigenetic Cell Memory at the Danish Cancer Institute! Our EpiC team with director Anja Groth @groth-anja.bsky.social, were joined by Jesper Fisker, CEO @cancer.dk & Niels Mejlgaar, CEO @dg.dk to celebrate 🎉

Less than two weeks left to apply! Postdoc positions in my lab to study 1. initiation of DNA replication. 2. chromatin replication/epigenetic inheritance. Great for biochemists, biophysicists & structural biologists. Deadline 3 August 2025. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

Congratulations to Ada 🥳🍾, who very successfully defended her master's thesis today! You were an excellent student and we were super happy to have you in the lab! Wishing you all the best for the future and enjoy your well-deserved break!

Postdoc positions open in my lab (Francis Crick Institute) to study 1. initiation of DNA replication. 2. chromatin replication/epigenetic inheritance. Great for biochemists, biophysicists and cryo-EM/cryo-tomography scientists. Deadline 3 August 2025. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

🚨 Postdoc wanted (🇳🇱NL based) for our exciting collaboration with the lab of Alexander van Oudenaarden @hubrechtinstitute.bsky.social in Utrecht, with collaborative visits to our lab Copenhagen 🇩🇰. We seek a computational scientist to model epigenetic inheritance, see more below 👇!

Just over the moon that the grant, wrote with my amazing long-time friend @lleonie.bsky.social, has been funded by @novo-nordisk.bsky.social for an incredible €2M! 🤯 Huge thanks to Alexander and @grothlab.bsky.social for their support and guidance throughout. Thrilled for the journey ahead! 🎆✨

Exciting news!🌟 Together with Alexander van Oudenaarden, @jervdberg.bsky.social and @lleonie.bsky.social, we’ve been awarded a €2M NNF Synergy grant. We're thrilled to collaborate🤝 and to develop cutting-edge single-cell and single-molecule methods for replication and chromatin research! 🚀

This is a reminder that there is still space in this starter pack if you want to join 🤩. Just send us a message!

Please join this starter pack for everyone working from chromatin replication to epigenetic inheritance and cell fate! Now still small, but we hope to gather everyone interested in joining. Please message us to be added, go.bsky.app/ALFFRUN

Very happy to see @grothlab.bsky.social , @helink.bsky.social and @grewalsh.bsky.social all migrating over here! All pillars of the the #epigenetics and chromatin community.

The Groth lab @grothlab.bsky.social has also made the jump from X to Bluesky🤩! Please follow us for all things related to chromatin replication, epigenetic memory and (epi)genome stability in the context of mitotic cell division! We'll start on joining some relevant starter packs!
