Happy to share! My first official PhD position is open for applicants 😃(self-funded!)
This is an interdisciplinary, multi-supervised project, bringing together experts from UoL's Cancer Department, Population Health (Ffion Curtis) & the Centre for Innovation in Education (Ben McGrae)
Paper alert from @codyz.bsky.social y.social and Yang Liu. New mechanism for chromatin remodeling by ATRX. Super cool story. Congrats to #lugerlab alumni.

Dr Christopher Switzer from the University of Leicester gave a great chemical biology perspective on Reactive Sulphur Species involvement in the hypoxia response today in Liverpool. Very impressed.
DNA replication globally disrupts the epigenome. But does this create a chromatin-access opportunity for TF binding to facilitate cell identity change? Now 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢-𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐂-𝐬𝐞𝐪 shows 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘰 chromatin opening & TF binding occurs specifically post-replication, in cellular differentiation & reprogramming!

Congrats Nezha!
Less Survivable Cancers receive just 19% of research funding despite causing 40% of all cancer deaths. This glaring inequality is why we're calling for government to #CloseTheResearchGap. @lesssurvivable.bsky.social

Check out our recent update from the J domain protein community! Thanks to Janine Kirstein, Rina Rosenzweig, Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Genevaux, Jaroslaw Marszalek and Harm H. Kampinga for leading this effort www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
J-domain proteins: from molecular mechanisms to diseases
We wrote a paper on the conference about JDPs in Gdansk and I have several of my latest research explained and presented in it.

A few days left to apply for exciting PhD and Postdoc opportunities in wonderful Copenhagen and join our efforts in understanding Epigenetic Cell Memory.
Well done Hana! Great news 🙂
Great opportunity!
Funded 4-year BBSRC NWD PhD to advance neuroscience through vCLEM techniques.

The caterpillar, an epigenetic wonder! Recent birthday celebrations in the lab.
Our latest paper has just been published in Cell!
doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.
This is very cool!
12 and a bit 5km runs in October, challenge complete! Thanks for all the sponsorship. £585 raised for Cancer Research, and almost £1M nationally - which is amazing! @cancerresearchuk.org

Another great opportunity for a PhD linking hypoxia to cell matrix mechanobiology!
Spatial biology in neuro-oncology award certificate for Michael Müther and Colin Hammond. Awarded by standard biotools and the european association of neuro-oncology.
Very excited to receive this Spatial Biology in Neuro-Oncology Grant to pump-prime our studies into histone supply biology in high grade glioma patient samples!
Thanks to @standardbiotools.bsky.social and @eanoassociation.bsky.social for your generous support!🙂
🥳🧬🙌Exciting times ahead!! 🤸🧬🥳
Great opportunities for chromatin transcription related PhDs or a postdoc, with a cool boss in Birmingham!
That's £10 per km. Thanks a lot for all the donations!
Thats me finished my 10th 5k in October! My best time yet, 26 min 40s. Sponsorship goes to @cancerresearchuk.org
£355 raised so far, please sponsor it all goes to a good cause.

Run 8/10 5ks in October, I forgot to post this one but here is the proof. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/colins-...
Run 9/10 5ks in October and my first night run for a long time. I am surprised it wasnt faster. I tried to pick a flatter route, but I couldn't always see my feet! One to go!! 💸💸💸 fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/colins-...
Run 7. Heart rate suggests my fitness is improving. Valiant sprint finish attempt to break 28 mins but denied by a whisker: 28m08s! 7/10 5ks during october! Am I becoming a runner again? Please send @cancerresearchuk.org some money on my behalf 💸💸💸 fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/colins-...
