Congratulations to Rodrigo Villaseñor for winning the Best Poster Prize at the MPI Epigenetics conference in Freiburg. 

Congratulations to Jahnavi and Colin on successfully defending their MSc theses!

Sara Giuliani has returned to our group for her MSc thesis. Welcome back!

We have been most successful in securing a large Sinergia grant together with the labs of Christina Nevado (chemistry), Amedeo Caflish (biophysics/ biochemistry) and Christian Mosimann (developmental genetics), all from The University of Zurich.

More info can be found in the news release from UZH: English version, German version.

f.l.t.r.: Caflish, Baubec, Mosimann, Nevado

Join us!

We have an open position for a postdoctoral fellow to join our group working on an interdisciplinary SNF-Sinergia project. This project involves four laboratories at the University of Zurich, spanning functional genomics, medicinal chemistry, structural biology, biophysics and developmental biology.

We are celebrating three years since starting the lab. There is nothing better than BBQ and beer at the Zurich Lake.

Bruna Rodrigues from University of York (UK) has joined our group as a summer student, and will work together with Stefan on ICR regulation. Welcome to the group!

Then have a look at our protocol:

Genome-Wide Profiling of DNA Methyltransferases in Mammalian Cells

from a recently-released Springer book on CpG Islands (Methods and Protocols)

We are happy to announce that Dr. Izaskun Mallona has joined our and Mark Robinson’s group as a shared computational postdoc.

Izaskun obtained a PhD in genetics from the University of Cartagena (Spain) and a BSc in computer engineering from the University of Catalonia (Spain). Previously Izaskun was a computational biologist in the group of Dr. Miguel Peinado at IMPPC and IGTP in Barcelona working on cancer epigenomics and evolution of repetitive elements.

Welcome Izaskun!

Jahnavi Bhaskaran has joined our group as a MSc student from ETH Zurich.

Welcome onboard!
