Really thrilled to see our work out in the recent issue of @CellCellPress! A huge thanks to everyone involved @JanSkotheim @georgimarinov @lab_reyes @WJGreenleaf @anshulkundaje and the many more not on Twitter. (1/9)
In the latest issue! RNA polymerase II dynamics and mRNA stability feedback scale mRNA amounts with cell size dlvr.it/SzDwpl
Cell Size and Growth Seminar is back again next Tuesday! Please join us for talks from Yuping Chen and Markus Basan.
📢 calling prospective postdocs! Only a few days left to apply to join our growing group in the beautiful city of Edinburgh to lead an exciting project focused on how gene expression, RNA metabolism and cell signalling are all coordinated with changes in cell size.
We’re hiring! We have Wellcome-funded postdoc positions to join my group. The project will build on recent work on transcriptional cell size scaling (Swaffer et al. Cell 2023) to ask how gene expression, RNA metabolism and cell signalling are all coordinated with cell size (1/3)
Next #FragileNucleosome seminar is Wednesday Oct 23 - sign up info below!
🎃In our next session of #FragileNucleosome seminar series, we have two amazing speakers from UK, Alan Jiao and @mpswaffer ! 🗓️Save the date and register now: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
