New work by the van Oudenaarden group shows how gene expression and chromatin state become progressively more aligned as differentiation proceeds over the first day of zebrafish embryo development. Learn more in the thread below by first author @vivekbhr.bsky.social.

Today, Mara Bouwman successfully defended her PhD thesis on heart regeneration. She discovered that two genes are required for heart regeneration in zebrafish and investigated one of them in mammals, finding promising results. Congratulations Mara! 🎉 Read more: www.hubrecht.eu/phd-bouwman/
Today, Pim Rullens successfully defended his PhD thesis ‘Genome form and function in single cells’. In the Kind group, he investigated how the three-dimensional form of DNA in a cell nucleus influences how the cell uses it. Congratulations, Pim! 🎉 Read more here: www.hubrecht.eu/phd-rullens
Danny Sahtoe has been awarded the NVBMB prize. The jury was impressed with Sahtoe's consistently strong work on protein structure, function and design during his PhD and postdoc. The prize includes funding to organize a symposium on a topic of choice. Read more: www.hubrecht.eu/nvbmb-price-...
Today, Eirini Kyriakopoulou successfully defended her PhD thesis! 🎓 She explored whether gene therapy can tackle the genetic heart disease ACM. Her work has led to clinical trials, currently testing gene therapy in patients. Congratulations Eirini! Read more here 👉 www.hubrecht.eu/phd-kyriakopoulou
For 110 years, the Hubrecht Institute has been studying the development of cells, tissues and organisms to discover how life works on the smallest scale. To celebrate this, we are opening our doors on Saturday, 6 June 2026. Read more here: www.hubrecht.eu/zooming-in-o...
Pim was awarded the cum laude distinction, congrats on this achievement!
Group leader Miguel Leung has been awarded the Young Scientists Award 2026 from @heinekenprizes.bsky.social . With his group, he investigates the 3D structure of protein complexes, tiny machines at work inside each of our cells. Congratulations, Miguel! Read more: www.hubrecht.eu/heineken-you...
Oocytes store large amounts of proteins to support the earliest developmental stages. In @nature.com, the Leung group describes the structure of the cytoplasmic lattice in unprecedented detail. At least 13 different proteins assemble into a stable storage complex. hubrecht.eu/oocyte-storage-complex/
