Welcome Jente
Jente van Staalduinen joins our group as a postdoctoral fellow. Jente did his PhD with Frank Grosvelt at ErasmusMC, Rotterdam. He will apply chromatin engineering to study how chromatin is established and maintained.
Group Retreat on Texel (NL)
We had a fantastic trip to Texel enjoying science, biking, hiking, archery and bird watching with the entire group. Thanks to EMBO YIP for supporting our retreat.
Vivek Bhardwaj starts his independent group
The Bhardwaj lab will be jointly associated with our division, Developmental Biology and Bioinformatics at Utrecht University. Learn more about Vivek’s research here – https://vblab.org
Welcome Imane, Lorenza, and Nicola
We have three new MSc students that joined us on various projects in the last 6 months. Imane Chaouch and Lorenza Casasanta join us from Utrecht University, and Nicola Hallmann joins from ETH Zurich. Wellcome to the group, Imane, Lorenza and Nicola!
Welcome Mathilde
We welcome our newest PhD Student, Mathilde Noël! Mathilde studied genetics at the University of Paris Cité then continued her Masters with internships in the labs of Romain Koszul, Alex Stark and Daan Nordermeer. Mathilde will investigate gene control specificity by DNA sequence and chromatin.
Farewell Angela, Amalia and Niklas
We say farewell to our three MSc students that were brave enough to be the first MSc students to join our group in Utrecht. Thank you for all the good work and fun, and we wish you all the best for your future!
