Smc5/6, highly enriched…

  • Welcome Tingran Wang!

    Welcome Tingran Wang!

    Tingran Wang, doctoral student in the MIT physics Department will be joining our lab for a 3-month rotation. During his rotation, Tingran will be collaborating with Henrik Pinholt and Timothy Foldes. They will be investigating how stretched chromatins in vivo can tell us more about their polymer properties, and eventually directly see evidence of loop…

    Science, Sun, and Seaworms. Falmouth 2024

    The lab escaped to Falmouth for 4 days of science and summer. We had two days packed with talks by lab members and guests (Johan Gibcus and Anders Hansen) where we caught up on each other’s work and discussed the exciting directions our research is heading in the next year. We were lucky to visited…
