⁦Oded Rechavi⁩ and ⁦Eric Miska⁩ giving great and exciting lectures at the 5th Danube Epigenetic Conference in Budapest

The very successful 5th Danube Epigenetic Conference, Budapest (Hungary) is slowly coming to an end. See you in two years!

Deeply enjoyed the 5th Danube conference on epigenetics! Learned tons about spectacular science, met amazing people, got to share our recent work and even went on a cruise along the Danube. Does a meeting get any cooler than that?? Going home recharged and inspired!

Ever wondered how transcription choreographs histone modifications? Our work reveals the basis of co-transcriptional H3K36me3 by SETD2. We visualize how a histone writer coordinates with the transcription machinery! This is the magnus opus of Jon Markert tinyurl.com/setd2

📣 Please share: We’re hiring a tenure-track Group Leader in Multicellular Systems to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the formation, maintenance, or destabilization of tissues, organs and organisms. Apply at: fmi.ch/education-care…

We are pleased to be media partners at the EMBL Conference: Chromatin and epigenetics. #EMBLChromatin Abstract submission: 18 Feb 2025 Registration (On-site): 1 Apr 2025 (Virtual): 6 May 2025 embl.org/about/info/cou…

Why can a human tolerate a drug that globally inhibits transcription? Why do transcription inhibitors not cure cancer? Our first paper of 2025 may help explain (some) of this! So very proud of ⁦Tobias Williams⁩ & Ewa Michalak who led the work! cell.com/molecular-cell…
