Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in/ Postdoc (m/f/d) Chromatin ist nicht unbeweglich. Es handelt sich um ein hochdynamisches Material, dessen 3D-Struktur zentrale genomische Prozesse – von der Transkription bis zur DNA-Reparatur – steuert. Doch wie verhält sich Chromatin als Material – als Flüssigkeit, Feststoff oder viskoelastisches Gel –, um diese Funktionen in lebenden Zellen auszuführen? Ohne eine Antwort auf diese Frage können wir nicht vollständig verstehen, wie Chromatin bei Krankheiten gestört wird.

Postdoc🚨!

Come join our HFSP team to uncover how chromatin moves in cells and what this means for genome function! Great opportunity to combine single-cell genomics, live imaging and polymer physics in the unique mammalian retina with @andersshansen.bsky.social, Davide Michieletto & Sandra Tenreiro

Pretty ingenious campaign of my university to leave out the 'e' to protest against the catastrophic plans of the Berlin Senate to cut the university budget.

Our study on the impact of altered serotonin (5-HT) signalling on the developing sensory cortex is now live at Nature Comms.

We use longitudinal in vivo imaging of 5-HT and neural activity to show that this neuromodulator is buffered in early life to promote bottom-up instruction of sensory areas.

David Liu @harvard.edu beautifully articulates the criticality of basic science funding for developing revolutionary therapeutics like life-saving base editors 👏

While I applaud Europe taking a step to fund bringing scientific excellence to Europe, the ERC’s current success rates at 10% for Europe based scientists is statistically at lottery levels. The total ERC budget should double across the board aiming at doubling funding rates.

Just wrapped up 2 inspiring days at ISCO – Innovations in Single Cell Omics! A great community came together to share science and fun. A big THANK YOU to all our fantastic speakers and interactive participants

In situ architecture of the human prohibitin complex - Nature Cell Biology Lange, Ratz, et al. investigate the number and distribution of human prohibitin complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane, uncovering their bell-shaped structure and assembly of alternating PHB1 a...

Excited to share our paper with Jakobs Lab @mpi-nat.bsky.social on the in situ structure of the prohibitin complex in human mitochondria! Although mitochondria contain >1000 proteins, it seems a single, 2-subunit complex occupies 1-3% of the crista membrane area 🤯

Single-cell people! Check out the "Innovations in Single Cell Omics" meeting, May 12-13 in Berlin!
I'm really looking forward to being a part of this great line-up and also to presenting a Night Science workshop.
Join us! www.isco-conference.eu
Abstract deadline for talks & posters: March 7
