Are transcription-associated histone marks needed to restart transcription after DNA damage?
We put this long-standing assumption to the test. With surprising results.
Work with Janne van Schie, Bram de Groot & Diana van den Heuvel out in EMBO Reports 👇

Great response so far for the DNA Repair Meeting in April 2026 ! 🧬
A few poster spots are still available.
✨ Early-bird registration extended to February 28th
✨ New invited speakers added: check the site: dnarepairmeeting-egmond2026.com
Don’t miss this outstanding meeting!
Excited to share our latest study in Nature Communications ✨
We map how cells clear DNA damage–stalled RNA polymerase II using a stepwise TFIIH → ubiquitin/VCP mechanism, keeping transcription and genome stability on track.

Our great collaboration with the lab of Wei Yang and Kaoru Sugasawa is now online in Nature. We’re glad we could contribute some cell biology to complement this beautiful structural and biochemical work.
