Wohoooo. 🎉 The next Gene Regulation Club meets at the FMI in Basel today. We expect more than 100 scientists from TriRhena region discussing topics revolving around gene regulation #chromatin, #transcription and #RNA processing. We are also happy to introduce new PIs to the audience who recently started their groups in the TriRhena region. Flury Valentin & Ayele Argaw Denboba, both from the MPI-IE, give their “New PI talk” during the symposium. Say also “hello” to our fantastic line-up of young researchers who will present their work: Francesco Cardamone (MPI-IE) Anaïs LE NABEC (EPFL) Attila Oravecz (IGMBC) Gergely Tihanyi (FMI) Laura Pulido Cortés (Uni Freiburg, DKFZ) Check our website for the entire program: https://lnkd.in/eA-4mqAy Organizers: Marc Buehler (Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, 🇨🇭 #basel), Nicola Iovino (Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, 🇩🇪 #freiburg), & Thomas Sexton (IGBMC, 🇫🇷 #strasbourg)

The Nobel Prize 🥇 – the "Oscar" of science – has been awarded in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology/Medicine, Literature, and Peace since 1901. Globally recognized as the highest distinction, this prestigious honor was established by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel to reward those who have greatly benefited humanity. ✨ The Max Planck Society proudly counts 31 Nobel Laureates in the natural sciences.  💻🤓 Learn more about their groundbreaking achievements at nobel.mpg.de (in German & English). 👉 Will there be a 32nd Nobel Laureate this year? We are already very excited about next week! Who do you think will win a Nobel Prize in 2024?

Are you a postgraduate student or researcher at an African research institution? The Max Planck Society offers mentorship by Max Planck scientists through its ARTEMIS program. Here is the 2024 call for the Max Planck African Mentorship Program – The application deadline is November 15, 2024. The ARTEMIS Mentorship program of the Max Planck Society aims to build a partnership which fosters career goals through exchange of experience, networking and interpersonal relationship – between mentees at #African universities and research institutions and mentors at MPIs in Germany. The Artemis Mentorship Program supports mentor-mentees for one year, including a 4-week stay of the mentee at an MPI in Germany.

Congratulations, Davor Solter! 🎉 Davor Solter, Emeritus Director at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, has been named one of this year’s Citation Laureates by Clarivate for the discovery of genomic imprinting. The selection of a Citation Laureate is based not only on research achievements, but also on the frequency of citations in prestigious journals. Each year, Clarivate conducts an in-depth analysis of publication and citation data to identify potential candidates. Since 2002, the list’s experts have correctly predicted 75 #citationlaureates who went on to win The Nobel Prize – making it a short list of researchers of Nobel class. 🎖 The former Max Planck Society Director is jointly honored with Azim Surani for their discovery of genomic imprinting. Their contributions were central to the foundation of a scientific field that later became famous as “#epigenetics”. Genomic imprinting, a phenomenon whereby certain genes are expressed differently depending on whether they are inherited from the mother or father, was a landmark – they made independently from each other – that revolutionized our understanding of developmental biology by showing that the maternal and paternal genomes are not interchangeable, as previously thought. We are look forward to Monday, 7 October, 11:30 CEST 😜 “Clarivate reveals Citation laureates 2024”: https://lnkd.in/gUV3PErP “Davor Solter listed as researcher of Nobel class”: https://lnkd.in/gP8skidQ

New Review by the lab of Nicola Iovino! In this EMBO Reports review, Filippo Ciabrelli, Nazerke Atinbayeva, Attilio Pane & Nicola Iovino delve into the current understanding of how chromatin regulation impacts the first stages of #Drosophila embryonic development. From the orchestrated activities of pioneer factors to the intergenerational inheritance of chromatin marks, the team explores the intricate mechanisms that govern gene expression during early development. Learn more on the following key questions: 👉 How do chromatin factors affect ZGA and transcriptional silencing? 🔕 👉 How does genome architecture promote the integration of these processes early during development? 📐 👉 What role do chromatin marks play in transgenerational epigenetic inheritance? 🚩 Read the open access review and discover the latest insights into the complex interplay between chromatin regulation and early embryonic development: https://lnkd.in/eKcC2iJk #geneexpression #TEI #epigenetics #developmentalbiology #chromatin #H3K27me3 #H3K9me3 #maxplanck #ZGA
