Today on the ride 🚴‍♀️ home. Nymphenburg 🏰

Happy to share our latest review, now out in Cell Chemical Biology: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nupe8jWWK... Together with Nicole Walker, James Galligan and @yaeldavidmsk.bsky.social, we review NECMs as link between metabolism and immunity!

Don’t miss this exciting exhibition “Youth Life. Your Genes” in the Deutsches Museum Munich by scientists from @epihmgu.bsky.social @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social ➡️ 6. to 8. Nov

Save the date! The 10th Munich Epigenetics Spotlight 📅 30 Oct 2026, 14:00–19:00 at Helmholtz Großhardern. Join us for talks and discussion with keynote speakers Tuğçe Aktaş and Karsten Rippe. Organised by @metorrespadilla.bsky.social and @robertife.bsky.social #EpigeneticsSpotlight bit.ly/4jGd3WO

I'm thrilled that I've been awarded the Marie-Josée Kravis WISE Postdoctoral Fellowship! 🎉 Thank you to @mskcancercenter.bsky.social for this great opportunity! And a huge shout out to @yaeldavidmsk.bsky.social! Thank you for believing in me! Very excited for what's ahead!

Great to welcome Dr Sriharsa Pradhan, Distinguished Scientist at #NEB, to Helmholtz Munich this week! He joined us for a fascinating scientific seminar, followed by a career talk with our doctoral researchers. Thanks for sharing your research, insights & time! #EpiCrossBorders

Officially not a one-person show anymore 🎉 Excited to welcome Sandra, Giacomo, Ruben, and Anouk to the lab at the @umcutrecht.bsky.social. We're diving into chromatin systems biology together. Feels good to say "we" now.

Everything you wanted to know about single-molecule epigenomics but were too afraid to ask! Wonderful to co-write (h/t ENORMOUS lift by @arnaudkr.bsky.social) this primer on our nascent field. Also, a 💯 example of wonderful colleagues building something *together*, not in competition =)

👏 That's a wrap on #ChromatinSummerSchool2026! 🥳 Thanks to all students, speakers, lecturers, organisers, and our partners at @abcamofficial.bsky.social for an inspiring programme of learning, collaboration, and discovery. Wishing all participants every success in their futures! 🔬✨ #helmholtz

Congratulations to Francesco Padovani, Kurt Schmoller, and colleagues on the publication of SpotMAX in Science Advances! An open-source AI framework making advanced microscopy image analysis easier, faster, and more accessible. #OpenScience #Microscopy www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Paper Alert! Super proud: Dreaming of identifying any DNA and RNA modification changes spatially? Yes, we can as we had DREAMS: Our new DREAMS approach with which we also identify nove TET enzyme targets. Check it out! #RNA #RNAModifications #DNA #Epigenetics #Epitranscriptomics

A great weekend at our Summer School! On Saturday, we enjoyed a seminar by Alexander Stark (IMP Vienna) on Decoding transcriptional regulation. On Sunday, students went on a scenic hike to Andechs, combining science, networking, and Bavarian views. 🌿🥾🧬 #Helmholtz #SummerSchool #Abcam #Epigenetics

🧬 The Summer School on Chromatin Biology is in full swing at Helmholtz Munich! A week of inspiring talks, hands-on experiments, scientific exchange, and new connections with researchers from around the world. #ChromatinBiology #Epigenetics #Abcam #SummerSchool #HelmholtzMunich

Getting ready for our summer school. 16 exiting days of hands on training combined with high profile speakers Looking forward to meet the selected students from 5 continents 🌎! @abcamofficial.bsky.social @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social @epihmgu.bsky.social

There is more to transcriptional readthrough than meets the eye, and it could even provide a therapeutic opportunity in cancer. Check out our new perspective, inspired by recent work from Neugebauer and Grzechnik labs! #RNABiology #RNASky #Epigenetics

Important ! Check this out. Ab-trapping and thus risk of wrong results …. 😢

Thrilling news to share ... details to come over time, but suffice to say I will have a number of open positions to advertise in the months to come! Skål!!

I really enjoyed the meeting. Great science and interesting discussions. Thanks for the invite !

Excited to announce the International Workshop "Transcriptional memory in health & disease" in Baeza (Spain) this Oct 20-22! Discover how chromatin & networks encode cellular memory with top speakers. unia.es/estudios-y-a... pic.x.com/fjhBUrtRgb

Did you know that Pierre Chambon's laboratory was the first to use the term "nucleosome" in 1975 ? www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Sad to hear. Pierre was for 3 years my office neighbour. Lots of memories of interesting discussions (especially on weekends). Pierre was a giant of science. With incredible contributions to multiple fields. 🧬🇫🇷

EpiCrossBorders Week in Edinburgh was a great mix of collaboration & innovation. Starting with a Biotech Start‑Up Ideation Workshop and ending with a 2‑day symposium engaging PI's and students—we can't believe it is our penultimate year! Still so much to look forward to and achieve #EpiCrossBorders

Want to know how histone marks regulate your favorite gene? Go single molecule with ChromSMF: integrated measure of chromatin accessibility and histone marks + DNA methylation, TF footprints and genotype for free! Very proud of @mpalamin.bsky.social ! @embl.org

“I think it’s a real mistake to forget where the pipeline for all this begins.” John Diffley reflects on the importance of basic research, his mission to decode DNA replication and recreate it in the lab, and the scientific optimism of the 1960s that helped shape it. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-03...

⏰ Deadline approaching! Apply now for the Chromatin Biology Summer School 2024 and join an inspiring week of science, learning, and community. Submit before March 29th to be considered for this exciting opportunity: bit.ly/4oGDR8f #chromatin #summerschool

We are looking for a Postdoc to join our lab at @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social. This is a dry-lab focused post on the computational analysis of long read single-cell sequencing data to understand the role of transposable elements (TEs) in early development. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru... #TEsky

Transposable elements are increasingly studied in single-cell data, but how reliable are current locus-level quantification methods in short-read scRNA-seq data? If you work with single-cell RNA-seq or TEs, we hope this is a useful resource — feedback very welcome!

Very nice paper from @martingroth.bsky.social at IFE just out !Linking #metabolism and #epigenetics in ➡️ @natplants.nature.com @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social @epihmgu.bsky.social @valentin-ha.bsky.social

Thanks Rob !

Now final version out: Our manuscript connecting histone modifications with metabolism: How H4K16 acylations regulate inter +intranucleosomal interactions and confer resilience to metabolic challenges in vivo. Thanks to the team+ @sandrani.bsky.social Enjoy 👇👇 www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Epigenetics Update - Cell-cycle-dependent repression of histone gene transcription by histone H4 go.nature.com/4bjE521 Kami Ahmad and Steven Henikoff (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center) reporting in NSMB #Epigenetics #Histones --- Perfect for cancer, immunology, and aging research; epigenometech.com

Excited for this new preprint from my lab where we unexpectedly found a role for methionine synthase reductase in regulating heterochromatin independently of methionine synthesis 👇

Thanks Rob !

Our new preprint is out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We show that GRN benchmarks commonly used can overestimate performance due to negative-sampling choices, sometimes allowing simple degree-based baselines to rival more complex GNNs. A reminder of why bias-aware evaluation matters!
