Cabianca (Institute of Functional Epigenetics, Helmholtz Munich) présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème : 3D genome under stress: How an animal´s nutritional status shapes chromatin architecture   Résumé : Outside of the lab, all organisms are constantly exposed to a changing environment, such as temperature shifts, a variable availability of nutrients…

Invitée par l'équipe Prioleau, Anne-Laure Valton (GenPhySE - INRAE Toulouse) présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème : Chromosome folding and gene expression   Résumé : 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…

 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…

Invité par l'équipe Gazave, Anaïs Bardet (CNRS, IGBMC, Strasbourg), présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème : Transcription factor sensitivity to DNA methylation   Résumé : 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…

Invité par l'équipe Pintard, Arnaud Echard (Institut Pasteur) présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème : Cell division: the final cut   Résumé : We are interested in one of the most fundamental questions in biology: How a cell divides into two daughter cells. We particularly focus on cytokinesis, the last step of cell division leading to the…
