🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 The first research paper from our group is out 🦟🦟🦟🦟 I am soooooooooo HAPPY 😍 nature.com/articles/s4158… IMB Mainz Felicia Basilicata Agata Kalita

Our colleagues in the Kroschewski lab just published a new paper where they describe the 'exclusome' - a cytoplasmic container of extrachromosomal circular DNA. Congratulations to all the authors! Here is a layman's version on the ETH website: ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Our first research paper is now published at nature! 🎉🐭🔬We found that F1 hybrid female mice can have defective chromosome condensation in oocytes, creating a reproductive isolating barrier. Congrats again to our postdoc, Warif El Yakoubi🎊 nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are NIH official 🎉 nichd.nih.gov/research/atNIC…

Super excited to share together with Jocelyne Vreede and Peter Bolhuis my first research paper published in Nucleic Acids Research! We have developed a molecular simulation approach for predicting dissociation free energies of protein-DNA complexes:

Genome organization regulates nuclear pore complex formation and promotes differentiation during Drosophila oogenesis biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Ever wonder why cells of the same type tend to have a pretty uniform size? Check out our new paper out in Molecular Cell today to find out why too big can be a bad thing in terms of genome homeostasis and proliferative potential. 🧵 (1/9) cell.com/molecular-cell…

Can cell growth become a competitive disadvantage? We think yes – In the first paper from our lab (🎉) super postdoc Sandhya Manohar finds that excessive cell growth destabilizes the genome - a collaboration with Federico Uliana and Robertus de Bruin authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S10…

I am hiring a research technician for my new lab at Stony Brook University! The lab is new, but we share space with others, allowing to work directly with the PI (me) while having a great larger community in lab. Please share! stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersection/…

ETH Zurich researchers are illuminating what can happen when cells exceed their normal size and become senescent. Their new findings could help to optimise cancer treatments. brnw.ch/21wExG8

Are you curious about the proteins orchestrating nuclear architecture? Whether and how chromatin organization affects gene expression and cell fate? Check out our preprint showcasing recent work in collaboration with the Eric Joyce and @RanganLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lastly, a big shout out to the all the collaborators especially the Eric Joyce, Randi Isenhart and Son C. Nguyen, @Ranganlab, Noor Kotb, Kutay Lab, Federico Uliana, and all the authors for their contributions. Huge thanks to The Jagannathan Lab for all the support and mentorship.

Do you use cell cycle arresting drugs in your research? Were you excited about recent papers on the relationship between cell size and senescence in Molecular Cell? If you answered yes to either of these, check out our review in The FEBS Journal! 🧵(1/5) febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

My lab's technician posting closes tomorrow. If have an interest in genetics, DNA repeats, germ cells, and how these relate to aging, there is still time to apply! Learn more at nelsonflylab.org

Proud to have out this paper at PNASNews from Lisa Kursel and Jesus on the synaptonemal complex in C. elegans. It includes what is probably the most beautiful genetic data I was ever involved in analyzing - check it out! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share the first pre-print from the lab focusing on a closed conformation of the mammalian gamma-tubulin ring complex! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
