Pleased to announce launching Institut Cochin Foundation, on Sept. 18 at 6 p.m., upon registration, either in the Rosalind Franklin room, 22 rue Mรฉchain, Paris or via video conference: presentation of @institutcochin.bsky.social, meet researchers and call for donations-thanks for your support!
Zeus had his Hydra โ๏ธ, now Toxoplasma has its own.
Meet Hydra: not a monster, but a brand-new protein domain.
It multimerizes like crazy & rewrites the chromatin landscape ๐งฌ in Toxoplasma.
Our team and colleagues from @embl.org #Grenoble just dropped the preprint ๐

Thrilled to receive an @agencerecherche.bsky.social JCJC grant to explore chromatin-driven antiviral defenses and to revisit some of the underlying principles behind the HUSH complex. Exciting times ahead @institutcochin.bsky.social
Merci Mick!
Merci Catherine!
Merci Caro!
Postdoc positions open in my lab (Francis Crick Institute) to study
1. initiation of DNA replication.
2. chromatin replication/epigenetic inheritance.
Great for biochemists, biophysicists and cryo-EM/cryo-tomography scientists.
Deadline 3 August 2025.

Merci Sebastien!!
I warmly thank my lab for their support, and everyone whose path crossed mine along the way.
I had the privilege of defending my HDR today at @institutcochin.bsky.social, before an outstanding jury of experts @nchazal.bsky.social, @lucievirevolte.bsky.social,Rosemary Kiernan, Stephane Emiliani, Marc Lavigne. I am deeply grateful for their stimulating questions, and generous feedback.

Discovery of a new key mechanism to preserve the integrity of the #genome!
Fabienne Bejjani et al. reveal that the SPT6 protein plays a central role in properly stopping transcription and avoiding the accumulation of abnormal transcripts.
