Congratulations to Federico, who won a prize for his poster at the 4th German-French DNA Repair Meeting in Cologne, Germany. Federico presented his project on a convergent multidimensional screen to identify cancer-relevant genes with roles in replication stress resilience. Well done!
Read how the DNA damage response utilizes replication-coupled dilution of a histone mark, H4K20me2, to guide BRCA1’s antagonist 53BP1 to pre-replicative chromatin and thereby facilitate the choice between NHEJ and HR during S-phase progression.
Motivated applications from postdoctoral researchers with a strong interest in genome stability or chromatin biology and willing to apply for fellowships are always encouraged. PhD students are recruited through the Life Science Zurich Graduate School.
