Centre for Chromosome Biology
@CCB_Galway
The CCB at the University of Galway hosts a highly collaborative network of researchers investigating topics linked to the biology of genomes!
The CCB is looking for new group leader applicants. Please get in contact if you are interested in applying or want to discuss the opportunity: nature.com/naturecareers/…

We are looking for new group leader applicants to join our Centre for Chromosome Biology in Galway. We strongly encourage female applicants.👇 nature.com/naturecareers/…
On top of our on-going group leader call Research Ireland has opened a call to attract excellent established researchers to Ireland. The expression of interest deadline is 28th of August so please reach out if you think this is something you would be interested in!
📢A recruitment drive has been started by @lawlessj to attract outstanding international research leaders to Ireland. 💻 Interested applicants are encouraged to begin their application without delay. Apply now: researchireland.ie/funding/global… @Researchirel
Some very exciting announcements to attract the best researchers to Europe. Anyone who things they might find a home in the Centre for Chromosome Biology in Galway, please reach out! chromosome.ie
Europe’s choice is clear. To put science at the heart of its economy. To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration. And to welcome talent from all over the world. I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative ↓
🧬 Many thanks to @GenSocUK and the organisers of #Epigenetics2025 for the opportunity to see such interesting research at the forefront of #epigenetics last week and the opportunity to present some of my own work from the Dunleavy Lab at @CCB_Galway, supported by @Researchirel
Looking forward to welcoming @PeterLewisLab from @UWMadison for our March webinar on 'Dissecting the Biochemical Complexes Governing Gene Silencing' on March 28th! Register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… @activemotif @lisboa_motta
Excited to see my PhD thesis work published in @GenesDev! Thank you to @MRSantosLab members for all the support and advice on the project along the way. As well, thanks to the McStay lab @CCB_Galway and Wilson Lab @wilson_md @monis_simon for their partnership in this work. 🎉
In this study, Ataei et al. discover that Distal Junction LINE1 retrotransposons regulate the dynamic chromosomal interactions, conformations and nucleolar positioning of the DJs and DJ-adjacent rDNA arrays. Learn more here: ➡️tinyurl.com/gd351979
What a week it has been for our @uniofgalway @CCB_Galway committee members @JM_Gahan and @thecocodium. Congrats on the grant successes from @Researchirel and @wellcometrust respectively! Keep an eye out for job ads from them soon 👀
More great news! The CCB is on fire at the moment. If you are looking for opportunities to join a successful (and friendly) group of Chromosome biologists, either as a PhD/Postdoc or group leader, then get in touch: chromosome.ie

I am delighted to announce that I have received a Discovery Award from @wellcometrust to work on those mysterious stem cells in the cnidarian #Hydractinia. This would not have been possible without my team members and colleagues @CCB_Galway @uniofgalway
Amazing to see 4/5 @Researchirel Frontiers for the Future awards announced today for @uniofgalway coming to PIs in the CCB! Congratulations to all! @Galway_Research
Congratulations to University of Galway awardees of the Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future programme: Ciaran Morrison, Corrado Santocanale, Helen Blanchard, Noel Lowndes, and James Gahan.🙌
