1) Our new study on H3 K27M and EZHIP (the K27M oncohistone-mimic) is published in Molecular Cell today! Congratulations to Sid Jain and our collaborative team, including Melissa Harrison Lab and Nada Jabado (MUHC)! Doi:doi.org/10.1016/j.molc…







We're excited that Molecular Cell selected our M.C. Escher-inspired artwork for the cover of their Nov 19 issue! Check out our new story about how H3K27M and EZHIP attenuate PRC2 activity in gliomas. tinyurl.com/y5cvcwsx Image credit: @cathylundgren. Thank you, Catherine!


Come and join our lab! We have an opening for a motivated postdoc to study chromatin dynamics in cancer using biochemical and cell-based approaches. For more information about the lab’s research, see thelewislab.net/research. Send CV and cover letter to [email protected]



This exciting issue of JSPG features two memos from CaSPers on green gentrification (@astroJulieDavis, Brittany Baur (brittanybaur.bsky), Sarah Alexander, Ben Bachmann) and access to menstrual products in prisons (Marie Fiori, Zena Jensvold, Shelby S). Congrats to all authors! Check it out 👇

Such a great project to work on with Shelby S and Marie Fiori . Thanks National Science Policy Network (NSPN) Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and CaSP_UWMadison for bringing us together!

My awesome undergrad in the The Lewis Lab making some fun art! 👏

The HuSH complex silences retrotransposons in vertebrates. Our latest manuscript introduces HuSH2 and delves into the fascinating interplay of two paralogous HuSH complexes in governing LINE-1 silencing. Credits to Zena Jensvold and Anna Christenson. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1….
