We study how genomes change shape to make biology work through genomics, imaging, reconstitution, & computation.

Welcome to the Gerlich Lab, Valerio! 🎉 We’re excited to have you on board and look forward to the great science ahead together. 🧬
A very well-deserved pop for a big milestone 🥂🎉
The Gerlich lab recently attended the International Symposium on Chromosome Dynamics: from Structure to Cellular Function in Awaji, Japan 🇯🇵 A really nice chance to share our work, exchange ideas, and catch up with the chromosome dynamics community. 1/3
Takuya, Mustafa @mualaabo.bsky.social, and Dmitry @dmitrymyl.bsky.social also presented their projects during the poster session. Great to see the lab so well represented and to have many inspiring discussions throughout the meeting. 👏 3/3
Max’s work showed that histone tail deacetylation drives chromatin compaction during apoptosis, helping prevent DNA release into apoptotic extracellular vesicles. This work was also a collaboration with @rcollepardo.bsky.social and the Rosen labs. More in our thread here: 2/2
Congratulations to Max @mfdspicer.bsky.social on completing his PhD! 🎉 Yesterday, he successfully defended his thesis, “Electrostatic control of apoptotic chromatin compaction.” The lab is very proud of you, Max! 👏 1/2
Daniel @danielgerlich.bsky.social presented Caelan’s work in a talk titled “An electrostatic repulsion model of centromere organization,” highlighting how electrostatic repulsion helps position centromeres at the chromosome surface during mitosis. 2/3

1/New preprint just dropped! 🔥🔥 We investigate how the genome is destroyed in apoptotic cells in a way that prevents DNA fragments from spreading beyond the dying cell 🧬⚰
Done here at @imbavienna.bsky.social & in the super @rcollepardo.bsky.social & Rosen labs:

I'm happy to share that I have started a new position in the Gerlich Lab (@gerlichlab.bsky.social) at IMBA (@imbavienna.bsky.social) as Senior Bioinformatician. Looking forward to contributing to the great science developed in the group! 😊🧬
