We got an ERC SYNERGY grant #ERCSyG!! With @nenad_pavin @AngelikaAmon and Geert Kops. Huge thanks to our Synergy team, my lab, and ERC! Cannot wait to start this super exciting project! #EUfunded

Perfect for PhD students and postdocs! atoutcom.com/shaping-life/u…

Join us for this small, intensive workshop in the remote Alpine town of Arolla, where we will explore the dynamics of living systems across scales, from the cytoskeleton to embryos. Let’s dive into how cellular and tissue-scale dynamics shape life itself! meetings.ls2.ch/arolla2025

1/7 I am very excited to announce our🌹NEW PAPER OUT IN NATURE!🌹 Bimodal centromeres in pentaploid dogroses shed light on their unique meiosis With the Ritz and Kovařík labs we shed light on Rosa canina’s bizarre reproduction! nature.com/articles/s4158… #Meiosis4eva #Centromere
Ultra cool paper!!
Just out! Aneuploidy alters cellular proteome and affects many functions. One protein, p62/ SQSTM1, becomes highly abundant and creates cytosolic bodies in cells with extra chromosomes. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Excited to share our new preprint on @biorxivpreprint! We show that USP28 mutations found in cancer block its interaction with 53BP1, disrupting p53 stabilization. Check out the full story... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
😻 HUGE NEWS! We've done it! One of the "Magnificent 8" – key missing lineages for understanding animal origins – is ALIVE in our lab! Previously just DNA whispers, Maop 2 could now open a new chapter for research. 📖 We will soon formally "introduce" it to the scientific world.…
📣 The @multicellgenome of @IBE_Barcelona organizes the @EMBO Workshop "Evolution and origins of multicellularity across the tree of life"🧬🦠✨ 📆 9-11 October, 2025 📍 Auditorium @the_prbb ⌛ Abstract submission: 1st June 👉meetings.embo.org/event/25-multi…
Gene dosage compensation of somatic aneuploidy is frequent in cancer. Using machine learning, we find factors that predict dosage compensation, and show its adaptive features, its role in drug sensitivity and gene dependency. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
One year later, and we have another edition of the #DGZ_info focus workshop on functional organization of the nucleus. A great line up of speakers and timely topics. See you online on May 27.
Amazing energy at our second Swiss-Croatian Bilateral Project meeting with @LabMeraldi and @nenad_pavin in Srebreno near Dubrovnik! The labs teamed up instantly, with lots of brainstorming and cool ideas for new joint projects! @hrzz_science @snsf_ch 🇭🇷🇨🇭

Great memories from the joint meeting with @LabMeraldi @nenad_pavin last year in Split! Can't wait for this year's meeting, which starts tomorrow! Excited for more cool science through our Swiss-Croatian Bilateral Project @hrzz_science @snsf_ch 🇭🇷🇨🇭

One month left for early-career researchers to apply for a funded place at our Workshop 'Decoding whole genome doubling: Insights from evolution, development and disease' organised by @BastoRenata and @ZStorchova. biologists.com/workshops/deco… #BiologistsWorkshops
Excited to share our work out in @CurrentBiology ! We find that SKAP's binding to microtubules *reduces* friction at the kinetochore-microtubule interface and increases attachment stability under force. Congrats to postdoc Miquel @RosasSalvans and all authors! With @Caleb_J_Rux…
