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.
With long overdue, the impressive work led by our previous PhD student, Stefan, with help from many lab members and collaborators (Elling Lab, Vienna; Zuber Lab, Vienna; Schubeler Lab, Basel) is published in Nature Genetics.
New publication spearheaded by former PhD student Stefan Butz published today. Systematic dissection of DNA sequence and chromatin regulators involved in maintenance of epigenetic memory at imprinted control genes. https://t.co/PMrXEzL8WM

Angela Topic joined us from University of Zurich, where she is enrolled in the Quantitative Biology and Systems Biology Masters program. Angela will develop novel methods to test co-factor – gene promoter dependencies.
Niklas Kupfer, from Ulm University, joined our lab for an internship as part of the UU Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences MSc program. His work will focus on characterising a new set of histone-acetylation readers.
