Invited by the Greenberg Lab, Daphne S. Cabianca (Institute of Functional Epigenetics, Helmholtz Munich)  will present an IJM seminar on the theme: 3D genome under stress: How an animal´s nutritional status shapes chromatin architecture   Abstract: Outside of the lab, all organisms are constantly exposed to a changing environment, such as temperature shifts, a variable availability of nutrients…

Invited by the Prioleau Lab, Anne-Laure Valton (GenPhySE - INRAE Toulouse) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: Chromosome folding and gene expression   Abstract: Chromosomes are the physical templates for many crucial molecular functions in the nucleus: gene expression, DNA repair and DNA replication. During interphase, chromosomes are folded by two main mechanisms which are phase…

Invited by the Courtier, Olga Nagy (University of Szeged, Albert Szent-gyorgyi Medical School, Department of Forensic Medicine, Hungary), will present an IJM seminar on the theme: Challenges in forensic genetic investigation of archived biological traces   Abstract: The discovery of microsatellite DNA loci suitable for personal identification were quickly introduce to routine forensic investigations in the late 1990’s.…

Symposium on cortical and spinal organoids - January 29th, 2024 The symposium on cerebral and spinal organoids is organised by the enSCORE platform of the Université Paris Cité (Labex "Who am I?", Institut Jacques Monod, Epigénétique et Destin Cellulaire) and the DIM C-BRAINS. It focuses on innovative 3D models of nervous system development in organoids derived from…

 The Institut Jacques Monod (IJM), a leading center for fundamental interdisciplinary research in biology, is seeking to appoint at least two new group leaders.   The Institute comprises 28 international research groups working in the fields of biophysics, cell and developmental biology, evolution and genome biology. The IJM is affiliated with the Centre National de la Recherche…

Invited by the Gazave, Anaïs Bardet (CNRS, IGBMC, Strasbourg), will present an IJM seminar on the theme: Transcription factor sensitivity to DNA methylation   Abstract: Multicellular organisms establish and maintain different transcriptional states in disparate cell types through complex and specific regulation of gene expression. This regulation is mediated by the cooperative binding of transcription factors to regulatory…
