Introducing Dr. Recchia – new PhD in town!
Davide Recchia successfully defended his PhD thesis on elucidating P300/CBP functions during set cell differentiation. Congratulations Dr. Recchia!
Hanneke Vlaming started her lab next door!
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.

Ifigeneia joins as a new PhD student
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.
Stefan’s paper published in Nature Genetics!
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.
Angela and Niklas join the group for their MSc internships
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.
Welcome Douwe
Douwe ten Bulte started in our group as a PhD Student. Douwe studied Molecular and Cellular Life Science at Utrecht University and completed his MSc internships in labs using GWAS and CryoEM. In our group he will study the cross-talk between repressive chromatin modifications.
