Kristeli Eleftheriou joins our group as a postdoctoral fellow. Kristeli studied Biology at the University of Athens and obtained her PhD in the lab of Mark Wossidlo at the Medical University of Vienna working on DNA methylation reprogramming and epimutations during early development. Welcome onboard, we are happy to have you here.
We have a new neighbour! Severin Uebbing joins us from Yale to establish his group at our division. Severin will study how evolutionary changes impact enhancer function using computational and functional genomics. We are very excited to have you here and looking forward to future collaborations.
More information about research in Severin’s Lab can be found HERE
New paper with Nina Schmolka as the first author investigating NuRD complex function was just published in Nature Communications. Read more HERE
Team competitions in escape room, virtual Formula 1 racing, dinner & drinks, including some of us crashing the UU Science Faculty event.
Davide Recchia successfully defended his PhD thesis on elucidating P300/CBP functions during set cell differentiation. Congratulations Dr. Recchia!
We are very excited to welcome our new neighbours in the Vlaming lab. Hanneke is an expert in transcriptional elongation and termination and aims at understanding how the balance between these processes influence transcriptional outcomes. We are looking forward to great interactions in the future.

Welcome to Ifigeneia Thomopoulou. Ifigeneia studied molecular biology and biotechnology at the University of Crete and continued her Masters studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the labs of Kerstin Wendt, Joost Gribnau, and Manfred Kayser. Ifigeneia will explore the DNA methylation sensitivity of various regulatory proteins.
