Exciting findings in #childhoodcancer #oncofetal reprogramming of postnatal #stemcells and CD52 as a novel therapeutic target in #pediatric #leukemia New preprint from our lab by @mp_hartmann @MaxSchoenung @dblipka1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our 'EPINUC' liquid biopsy technology, advanced and tailored for diagnosis and monitoring of pediatric gliomas. A joint work with our FANTASTIC collaborators @CarlKoschmann @KoschmannLab @vennetilab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our work on aberrant MNX1 expression in AML caused by enhancer hijacking is finally out! Great collaboration between the Plass lab, @TransCanEpi and many others! Thanks a lot to everyone involved! 🙋🏻♂️
Enhancer hijacking discovery in acute myeloid leukemia by pyjacker identifies MNX1 activation via deletion 7q: brnw.ch/21wRWqT
We are hiring! For our Translational Cancer Epigenomics team @DKFZ and @NCT_HD we are looking for a talented postdoc interested in research on heme malignancies and #epigenetics. 🧬🧪🩸 Interested? 👉See jobs.dkfz.de/en/jobs/167620… or DM me!
Excited to announce the upcoming 80th Heidelberg Grand Round on "Developmental Signatures and Molecular Plasticity in Cancer"! Join us in Heidelberg, on Nov 14, 2024, from 4:00-6:00 PM–free of charge! Explore #Cancer as a developmental disease! @DKFZ @NCT_HD @uniklinik_hd
This collaborative effort demonstrates that ectopic expression of MNX1 is a driver event in a subset of adult del(7q) AML. #AML #leukemia #epigenomics
I'm excited to share our preprint "Pyjacker identifies enhancer hijacking events in acute myeloid leukemia including MNX1 activation via deletion 7q": doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…. This is my main PhD work and a massive collaborative effort. 🧵👇

Our single cell analysis of MLL/KMT2A fusions in AML with Michael Lübbert's group @Uniklinik_Fr is now out in @BloodAdvances. It shows a progenitor-like phenotype of the novel MLL-EDC4 fusion. Free download link: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S24…. Thanks to DFG FOR2674 for support.
Very proud of our study in Blood (+cover and editorial) led by @sarahelitzur and @Ruthyshioh describing a novel non-canonical MAPK activation pathway leading to histiocytosis, in patients with H syndrome. From bed to bench and back to bedside. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/37738562
Very interesting work suggesting a model for epigenetic memory. #epigenetics #epigenomics
3/4 Epigenetic memory is stored differently through the cell cycle: Interphase - the memory is in folding of dense heterochromatin condensate – marks follow the folding. Metaphase - memory is in the mark pattern – chromosome folding will follows the marks science.org/doi/10.1126/sc……
