Excited to share our lab's latest research, out today @NatureSMB, which describes how 53BP1 controls DNA Repair in class-switching B cells & BRCA1 mutant cancers. Final article can be found here: nature.com/articles/s4159…; & the following thread walks you through the details
Our lab's latest is now out on BioRxiv. In this work we set out to understand how 'shieldin' regulates #DNArepair, focusing on its physiological function in B cells & pathological contributions to BRCA1-mutant cancers. Some background & take-home msgs (1/) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Thank @Chapman_lab_UK for a very exiciting talk and for helping us celebrate the 5th year birthday of Social DNAing. This week, Dr. Blanco will join us to examine 2nd structures in DNA. Sign up at cancer.columbia.edu/research/progr…
Thanks @zha_lab for hosting my social DNA’ing on Thursday. Was a honor to celebrate the 5th anniversary of this epic series. If you didn’t catch it, check out the recorded webinar to find out what we’ve been up to with support from @CRUKresearch! fast.wistia.com/embed/channel/…

A must for all DNA repair aficionados! Egmond DNA Repair Meeting → April 19–24, 2026 🇳🇱 ✔️ Confirmed top speakers ✔️ Ample opportunities for talks & posters Don’t miss it: dnarepairmeeting-egmond2026.com
Thrilled to share our latest work at @ScienceAdvances. Great collab with Costanzo, Masson, Freire and Reyes labs. HMCES corrupts replication fork stability during base excision repair in homologous recombination–deficient cells | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
The Barr lab @BiochemOxford has discovered the important role of cell division timing mechanisms in the formation of cancer. The research, funded by Cancer Research UK, provides valuable insight into how damaged cells are normally stopped from growing. ⬇️bit.ly/202502-barr
Excited to host @Chapman_lab_UK for CGI seminar @WashUdbbs @SitemanCenter
Join us next Friday January 31, to learn more about Beyond BRCA: why PARP inhibitors also kill ATM-deficient cancer cells from Ross Chapman, PhD, from University of Oxford.
One of the many reasons why I won’t be posting on X from now on. bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c8…
The #EMBOdnaDamage24 meeting surpassed all expectations. Exceptional science in a spectacular location!
And that’s a wrap! Feeling inspired after hosting a week of excellent talks & discussions @ #EMBOdnaDamage24 with @LabLegube & @RottenbergSven. So grateful to the speakers & presenters who made it such a success & to @EMBO for support🙏. To beautiful Sounio, see you soon🤞❤️

SPJ lab reunion at #EMBO-DDR2024

Please us in beautiful Ventura for the 2025 GRC meeting Mammalian DNA Repair: Fundamental Mechanisms to Human Biology grc.org/mammalian-dna-…. We have a great program, including keynotes from David Pellman and Maria Jasin. Talks and poster slots still available. Apply soon!
Pleased to be part of this cohort. 😃
Our Bridge to Academic Leadership programme kicked off this week with our first in-person session! Over the next six months, this exceptional group of postdocs will develop the skills they need to succeed as independent group leaders.
