Delighted & grateful to receive @erc.europa.eu support once again! This ERC-PoC will translate fundamental insights into therapy-induced chromatin reorganization toward proof-of-concept in ovarian cancer patient samples. Special thanks to @oncodeinstitute.bsky.social for continued support! 🙌
Delighted to be part of this work from the Lopes lab identifying nucleoplasmic Lamin A/C as a key regulator of replication fork plasticity, acting via de novo heterochromatin and ADP-ribosylation to control RECQ1-mediated fork restart. Now in Nature Comm. 🎉Special efforts: @joannapaulson.bsky.social
Among the anti-recombinases, FIGNL1 rules them all. So much that inactivating it brings BRCA2-deficient cells to life. Who is responsible for RAD51 loading without BRCA2/FIGNL1, check out the paper to find out! Great collaboration with @raychaudhurilab.bsky.social

Halloween borrel at the department 🎃 : our PhDs & Postdocs showed next-level creativity by revealing the hidden monstrous sides of their PIs! 👻😂
Absolutely hilarious & scary indeed😜… though I’m starting to wonder if that’s really how they see me 👀😅
I am very excited to share the newest paper of the lab, a huge amount of work led by our talented PhD student Maxime Galloy, in close collaboration with Andréanne Blondeau, our dedicated research assistant for 10 years! 🙌

First preLights post from Jenny Singh (@jennysingh.bsky.social)
She covers work showing that Lamin A/C maintains replication fork integrity during mild replication stress by modulating chromatin structure & restraining RECQ1 activity. #preprint

What are your plans for October 2025? It would be a fantastic time to visit Norway for the Endogenous DNA Damage and Repair conference with a stellar set of speaker covering a wide range of topics. www.endodnadamage.com
Congratulations, Ralph!!🥂
Dear all, my first post! I have postdoc positions available if you would like to join my lab in beautiful Sussex by the Sea! Please contact me on k.w.caldecott@sussex.ac.uk
behold our paper on Medusavirus nucleosomes. Fantastic work by Chelsea Toner, @nhoitsma.bsky.social, and Sashi Weerawarana This giant virus also encodes a linker histone, more about that in the paper 🧪👩🔬 🧵.

Congratulations!!👏
Happy to share our new paper with Goran Kokic and the Svejstrup lab in Cell!
We show that STK19 facilitates the clearance of lesion-stalled RNAPII during transcription-coupled DNA repair.
Great teamwork by Diana, Marta and Paula!

What an exciting day for the lab at the Dutch Chromatin Meeting! Congrats to Ashutosh (a.k.a Vincent 😉)for winning the poster prize on 3D reorganization of stressed forks & Joanna for her fantastic talk on phase separation during replication stress. Proud of you guys! 🤩
Two back-to-back papers in Nature comms from mylab explore the link between destabilization of the actin cytoskeleton and aberrant base excision repair - passing through nuclear actin and the actin-dependent nucleosome remodeler INO80C.
