Scientist/PI Hubrecht Institute. Exploring gene regulation in early development and cancer. Single-cell spatial genome organization & epigenomics

🌱 As of Jan 1, I started as Assistant Professor at UMC Utrecht – Center for Molecular Medicine.
Very grateful to @dewitlab.bsky.social and @jopkind.bsky.social and to the many other people who supported me along the way.
I’ll be launching the lab soon, focusing on Chromatin Systems Biology.
Thrilled that our project received funding from the NWO Sustainable Science Fund! 🎉
We'll develop more sustainable single-cell epigenomic methods that cut plastic waste and energy use.

Now out in Nature! We visualize infection of the RNA virus RSV in real-time with single-vRNP resolution to understand how RSV establishes viral factories, biomolecular condensates that act as sites of viral replication. A huge collaborative effort led by Dhanushika Ratnayake!

It’s well known that inflammation increases cancer risk, but how?
The answer: the epigenome "remembers" inflammation and primes stem cells for cancer.

A 🧵
Life’s first kiss – what do we miss? The second annual #HubrechtSymposium2026 is off to a great start with keynote speaker Andrea Pauli on the molecular mechanisms of the egg-to-embryo transition. We're excited for this year's edition on the theme “Molecular Machines in Development”.
