Our paper NatureStructMolBiol is online! We used a combination of single-molecule tracking, two-color PALM, and genomics methods to understand how pioneer transcription factors pioneer on chromatin, revealing a "confined target search" mechanism. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Happy to share work with Hadi, Yao & Maxime TORTORA characterizing the impact of dynamic CTCF barriers for cohesin loop extrusion biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to share our latest work on #Ovulation, now published in Nature Cell Biology! 🎉 Grateful to my teammates Tabea Marx and Sarah Penir in Schuh Lab at MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences for excellent teamwork. 🙌 Dive into the details here 👇 #Ovary #Egg #Reproduction #CellBiology #Fertility

🥳 Exciting news! Thrilled to announce my new lab at IBDM @cnrs. 🎉 We use #LiveImaging to study how the dynamic #ovary makes healthy #eggs. 🔬🥚 Please RT & follow as we push the boundaries of #Fertility research! 🔗 bit.ly/3zQPEh7 #AcademicTwitter #NewPI

Excited to share my PhD work with Schuh Lab MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences on #aging and #fertility out now in Current Biology!🥳 Women are born wilh millions of #eggs but left with a few by the time they are in their mid-30s. #DNADamage largely drives this loss. But why can't this damage just be

Latest research from the Teves lab is now out on Biorxiv! "Functional divergence of TBP homologs through distinct DNA binding dynamics" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Here, we examine how conservation is balanced with diversification throughout evolution, using TBP as a case study.

Incredibly excited that our paper linking single molecule states of TF binding to gene expression using quantitative thermodynamic models is out in Nature today. An amazing collaboration with the Bintu Lab. Congrats to Ben, Michaela, and Julia! nature.com/articles/s4158…

📣Preprint alert! We have studied the formation of pair-wise and multi-way enhancer-promoter interactions in the #3Dgenome in a lymphoid-to-myeloid transdifferentiation system and learned interesting new things about their function in #GeneRegulation. 1/10 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My paper is out!! 🎉 "Opponent control of reinforcement by striatal dopamine and serotonin", nature Here, we show that dopamine and serotonin signals form a gas-brake system for reward in the mammalian brain 🧠 THREAD ⬇️ 1/n

Gene regulation involves thousands of proteins that bind DNA, yet comprehensively mapping these is challenging. Our paper in Nature Genetics describes ChIP-DIP, a method for genome-wide mapping of hundreds of DNA-protein interactions in a single experiment. nature.com/articles/s4158…

In the latest issue! The chromosome folding problem and how cells solve it dlvr.it/TGQjZY

📢 Preprint! Does the environment of a father before conception influence offspring? Even more, how do paternal genetics & age interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome? We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Online Now: Long-range regulation of transcription scales with genomic distance in a gene-specific manner dlvr.it/TGXV8Y

Just received a wonderful Christmas gift from ⁦NIH⁩ ! $2.76M to study molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition! 🎉 So excited! We’ll be hiring 2 postdocs-come join us in NYC for cool science, as we transform #WomensMentalHealth research!

The peer-reviewed version of our paper on human tRNA 3' processing is now published in NatureStructMolBiol. Many thanks to the reviewers for their constructive comments! nature.com/articles/s4159… See also the very nice related work by Martin Hällberg Genis Valentin: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Updating my CV and biosketch for 2025 and replacing all journal names with PMID or DOI. To be consistent with what we at HHMI ask all of our applicants to do HHMI Focus on the science, not the publication venue

.@CellBioAndi et al. @EllenbergLab EMBL show that interphase organization into Cohesin-driven loops occurs in a sequential and hierarchical manner - just like the mitotic organization by Condensins. hubs.la/Q031VS0T0 Kai Beckwith M. Julius Hossain WanluZhang

Happy Publication Day to me! 🎉😱🥹🧿 Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History is officially out! It’s a history of the region through objects found in an ancient museum in a princess’ palace, and I hope you all like it 💛 lnk.to/BetweenTwoRive…
