Welcome Bruna!
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!
Interested in mapping DNMTs?
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)
Welcome Izaskun !
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!
Welcome Jahnavi !
Jahnavi Bhaskaran has joined our group as a MSc student from ETH Zurich.
Welcome onboard!
News and Views
