Bio-logist, with interest in developmental biology, genetics and general life living with a dash of research at College de France.
Ever wondered how 3D chromatin rewires during differentiation? We wanted to understand this process better & distinguish if different processes or elements drive this rewiring. To do so, we used mESC=>NPC differentiation and focused on a single locus. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/17
Are you curious about how genomic domains associate with the nucleolus? Check out the latest study from @LabSantoro in @MolecularCell. cell.com/molecular-cell…
If you are in Paris next Friday, 11th of April, come join us for the one-day event on enhancers at College de France @cdf1530. Check out the event poster below showcasing the fantastic speaker list.

Our lab is looking for a PhD student to join us in exploring RNA biology! Details in the announcement. Feel free to reach out with any questions—and please RT!
We seek a bioinformatician to join our group at the College de France, Paris. If you like genomics, 3D genome organization, gene regulation, and development check out the offer and get in touch!

New preprint! "Gene-scale in vitro reconstitution reveals histone acetylation directly controls chromatin architecture", a tour de force project led by the amazing @FukaiTY, in collaboration with @KurumizakaLab (U Tokyo) and Umehara lab (RIKEN BDR). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me! Cells record past events and respond to future stimuli more efficiently by modulating 3D genome. Read it all and more in the new preprint from the #Cavallilab and my brilliant friend who led this fantastic work @flora_paldi
New preprint on #CellularMemory and #3Dgenome! Can cells remember their past? If so, how do they record prior events? To address this fundamental question, we disrupted the chromatin state balance of mESCs and looked to whether they can recover. (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And Ivana Jerkovic closes this first session with a presentation of her work on 3D chromatin architecture 👏🧬. #FromCellToOrganism2024
What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N
It's getting harder and harder not to think the Nobel Committee has a problem with women...
Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨ This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee. #NobelPrize
pomoziba.org/campaign/1463/… The pictures arriving from Bosnia and Herzegovina are painful. Many lives lost. Too many people still missing. Support and solidarity are needed, donate if you can 👇
Our study decoding gastruloid symmetry breaking is now live @NatureCellBio! rdcu.be/dVMLG Thank you to the NCB edititorial team and to our reviewers for a constructive review process which helped improve our study. A thread on updates (1/n):
If you love developmental biology and Hox in particular, what a wonderful one-day event to follow! (in person and virtual)!!!
Tomorrow tuesday October 1st, 40th anniversary of the Homeobox @biozentrum @UniBasel_en🎉🎺 The room is full😮but zoom infos can be obtained from MC [email protected]🙏biozentrum.unibas.ch/events/confere…
Congratulations to Denis Duboule @Duboule for being awarded the 2025 ISDB Harrison Medal for his contributions to the understanding of gene regulation, particularly the Hox gene family, and their spatial collinearity in vertebrates 🎉🎉🏅 developmental-biology.org/news/2025-winn…
My lab is looking for PhD students with a background in physics and/or biochemistry/quantitative biology. If interested, please apply to the VBC graduate school. Deadline: Oct 15th.
