Seminars & Events

David Coda is a HPFS postdoctoral researcher in the Graeff lab at EPFL, where he has been working since 2019. 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. [more]

The tri-national "Gene Regulation Club" is a half-day symposium that brings together chromatin, epigenetics, and transcription groups from within the Strasbourg (IGBMC), Freiburg (MPI-IE), and Basel (FMI) area. With an informal but high-quality atmosphere, the meeting aims to foster discussion and inspire new and strengthen existing collaborations. The meeting encourages PhD students and Postdocs to present their work. [more]

Wayo Matsushima is an EMBO/JSPS Postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Didier Trono at EPFL. He studies regulatory evolution driven by transposable elements. [more]

The Lagha lab uses quantitative imaging to uncover the mechanisms regulating gene expression in space and time during development [more]

Bei Forschung höchstpersönlich präsentieren Wissenschaftler:innen des MPI-IE ihre Forschung Gästen und nicht-wissenschaftlichen Kolleginnen und Kollegen des Instituts. Die Vorträge betten die Forschung in einen größeren Rahmen ein und geben teilweise recht persönliche Einblicke zu wissenschaftlichen Themen, Fragen und dem Alltag am Institut. Die Vorträge werden auf deutsch gehalten. Sie richten sich explizit auch an ein nicht-wissenschaftliches Publikum. [more]

Werde für einen Tag zur Forscherin! Wir geben Mädchen einen Einblick in den Arbeitsalltag eines Forschunginstitut. Am 03.04.2025 stehen die Türen des MPI-IE für Mädchen offen, um in die spannende Welt der Biophysik, Bioinformatik und Molekularbiologie einzutauchen. [more]
