Who knew development could be this exciting! Then again, they were preaching to the choir 🤍 amazing talks from Nicolas Rivron, @irenezorzan.bsky.social, @komal-yasmin.bsky.social , good discussions, and lasting friendships and collaborations 😎 @babrahaminst.bsky.social @crg.eu

Now that we are in Barcelona we have jumped right into some fantastic science! From chromatin structure and pathogenic fungi to having a deep and existential think about our omics approaches 🤔 😎 #CRGBIpostdocs @crg.eu @babrahaminst.bsky.social

With the #CRGBIpostdocs symposium underway, we're shouting out our Babraham speakers! First up is Alex Whale from the Houseley lab, speaking at 4.30pm today. He'll talk about extrachromosomal circular DNA and the emergence of drug resistance 🧫

🚀 Off we go! ✈️ An early flight to kick off the International Postdoc Symposium! @crg.eu @babrahaminst.bsky.social Excited for an inspiring few days ahead! #CRGBIpostdocs

Only a few more days to wait for our postdocs before they head to @crg.eu for a joint symposium! Organised by postdocs for postdocs, this event aims to share research, expand networks, and develop key skills for research and beyond. #CRGBIpostdocs

Full program:

Our new #preprint has:
✅ A KRAB Zinc Finger (the SCAN domain-containing kind)
✅ #transposon sequences (the SINE kind)
✅ #epigenetic regulation (the #enhancer kind)
✅ lineage specification (the neural kind)
❌ and NO heterochromatin!

All by PhD student Daniel Moore 🚀
