He completed his PhD at the Francis Crick Institute, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Caroline Hill. Davide Coda has a long-standing interest in epigenetics, with his early research focusing on its role in cell fate specification and development. Currently, his work investigates the epigenetic mechanisms underpinning learning and memory, combining his expertise in epigenetics with molecular neuroscience. His projects employ in vivo CRISPR-based editing approaches alongside advanced NGS techniques to uncover novel insights into these processes. [mehr]

Dr. Hannah Uckelmann is Max-Eder junior research group leader at University Hospital Goethe Universität Frankfurt, Germany. Her lab focuses on studying the epigenetic regulation of self-renewal programs during cancer development and the discovery of new therapeutics. Hannah discovered an unexpected role of mutant NPM1 on chromatin representing the molecular basis for the effectiveness of targeted epigenetic therapies in NPM1 mutant AML. NPM1c cooperates with other chromatin factors to change the chromatin landscape and enhance transcriptional output at its target sites. She and her team continued investigating NPM1c-driven leukemogenesis with focus on novel therapeutic therapies in NPM1 mutant AML. [mehr]

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming symposium, "Epigenetics of Early Mouse Development," taking place on June 13, 2024, at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg. [mehr]

Amniotes exhibit a diverse range of sex chromosome systems. Mammals typically employ the XX/XY system, while birds utilize the ZZ/ZW system. Reptiles present an array of systems, such as XX/XY, ZZ/ZW, and even temperature-dependent sex determination methods. The evolution of these sex chromosomes significantly differs across various amniote species. Professor Kaessmann from Heidelberg will be a featured speaker at the Max Planck Special Guest Seminar. In his talk titled "The Origins and Evolution of Amniote Sex Chromosomes," he will delve into the latest research findings on this intriguing subject. [mehr]
