Happy to report that the first part of my PhD work is published! Thank you to everyone involved!
Happy to share our latest publication, in which we show that the arrangement of nucleosomes around CTCF sites contributes to higher-order organisation of chromatin into TADs: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Die Polizei ist komplett entfesselt! Sie kennt keine Zivilisation mehr: Schädel-Hirn-Trauma, offene Brüche, sehr viele Krankenwagen danach. Die Polizei ENTZIEHT den friedlichen Demonstrierenden sogar den Schutz. So ist ein Auto in eine Menge gefahren!
Das Ganze muss ein Nachspiel haben!

This is misinformation by default, so if you're a journal and you use AI slop for your cover or your announcements, you're not scientific in any way and should be shamed mercilessly 🧪

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.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

"Genes, Traits, and Identities: Navigating Sex, Gender, and Sexuality in Modern Research"

Frequently the trans and intersex communities are excluded from population-based genomics studies because they cannot be put in a neat box. But sex is a complex trait, like many other traits we study #ASHG25

ATP-dependent remodeling of chromatin condensates reveals distinct mesoscale outcomes
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes mobilize nucleosomes, but how such mobilization affects chromatin condensation is unclear. We investigate effects of two major remod...

✨Exciting news: the main story of my PhD is out in Science!

Together with Christine Moene @cmoene.bsky.social, we explored what happens when you scramble the genome—revealing how Sox2’s position shapes enhancer activation.
