Congratulations to Fuad Mahamud for passing his PhD viva (in his DNA jumper no less). Many thanks to Prof Mark Searcey and Vijay Chudasama for examining!
#scientists, take a second to fully appreciate the @pdbeurope.bsky.social and @rcsbpdb.bsky.social and imagine live without them.
Congratulations Kelly! 🥳
Look at this 🙂 #CryoEM
Structural basis for CTCF-mediated chromatin organization by @lucas.farnunglab.com @voslab.org
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
🧪🧬New preprint We present cryo-EM structures of reconstituted CTCF–nucleosome complexes, showing CTCF dimerization drives nucleosome oligomerization into defined higher-order assemblies. Disrupting CTCF–CTCF interfaces in mESCs reduces looping and impairs differentiation. tinyurl.com/CTCF-nucleos...
Happy to share part of my postdoctoral work at the @lucas.farnunglab.com lab. Great collaboration with @voslab.org and @andersshansen.bsky.social. “Structural basis for CTCF-mediated chromatin organization” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Me in front of the ABRCMS sign
16 (! What?) years ago I went to my first ABRCMS and was welcomed and encouraged to pursue my scientific dreams. I met folks that provided direct feedback on my graduate school applications and served a pivotal role in my career. I am honored return and give back again as faculty.

Happy to share our latest preprint.
We uncover a previously uncharacterised and evolutionarily conserved chromatin architecture in premeiotic gonadal germ cells, revealed through integrated cytological and high-resolution Hi-C approaches.
