SUMMARY:Paris Postdoc seminar - Annapaola Angrisani
DESCRIPTION:Annapaola Angrisani (Institut Curie) présentera un Paris Postdoc Seminar sur le thème : \nUnderstanding Centromere Fragility : Replication Stress and DNA Damage Burden \nRésumé : \nThe centromere is a key chromosomal region required for accurate chromosome segregation. Despite its essential role\, the centromere is inherently fragile\, exhibiting a high susceptibility to replication stress and DNA damage that contributes to chromosome breakage and aneuploidy. This fragility stems from the repetitive DNA architecture of centromeric sequences and their unique chromatin environment\, which distinguish centromere replication dynamics from the rest of the genome. \nIn the seminar\, I will examine how replication stress—common in precancerous and cancer contexts—promotes centromere instability. \nMechanistically\, we show that the centromeric replisome operates under finely tuned and unique replication programs supported by specialized DNA replication and repair factors. \nI will also discuss the specific DNA lesions to which centromeres are particularly prone\, and how these lesions can potentially trigger centromere breakages and recombination events\, threating genomic integrity.

SUMMARY:Séminaire de l'Institut Jacques Monod - Marianne Roca
DESCRIPTION:Invitée par l’équipe Konstantinides\, Marianne Roca (Postdoctorante dans l’équipe Genetics of Behavior\, Max-Planck-Institut für Neurobiologie des Verhaltens – caesar\, Bonn\, Allemagne) présentera un séminaire de l’Institut Jacques Monod sur le thème : \nFrom avoidance to attack: Rewiring mechanosensation in nematodes \nRésumé : \nSensory systems are finely tuned biological mechanisms that allow organisms to detect and interpret critical environmental cues. Changes in these systems can reshape behaviour and drive evolutionary innovation. Unlike the strictly microbivorous Caenorhabditis elegans\, the nematode Pristionchus pacificus has evolved predatory behaviour towards other nematodes. This behavioural expansion provides a unique framework to investigate how sensory systems evolve and how they acquire novel functions. By integrating genetics\, neuronal imaging\, and comparative approaches\, this work examines how mechanosensory pathways have been co-opted to sustain efficient predation\, offering insight into how sensory circuits are repurposed during behavioural evolution

SUMMARY:Séminaire de l'Institut Jacques Monod - André Nussenzweig
DESCRIPTION:Invité par l’équipe Prioleau\, André Nussenzweig (Laboratory for Genome Integrity at the National Cancer Institute\, USA) présentera un séminaire de l’Institut Jacques Monod sur le thème : \nGenome Stability in Post-Mitotic and Mitotic Cells  \nRésumé : \nAndre Nussenzweig is a NIH Distinguished Investigator and Chair of the Laboratory for Genome Integrity at the National Cancer Institute in the United States and a world wide expert in the study of genome stability and DNA damage repair. His scientific career is marked by multiple seminal contributions that have shaped our current thinking about DNA damage repair and how it can be harnessed for therapy. As a scientist initially trained in experimental atomic physics\, including a postdoctoral stint in Paris with Nobel Laureate Serge Haroch\, who then switched field to dedicate his independent research program in molecular biology\, Dr. Nussenzweig brings a unique perspective to identifying and solving complext biological problems. Dr. Nussenzweig’s impactful research has been recognized with more than 25 major awards and recognitions including membership in EMBO\, the National Academy of Medicine and that National Academy of Sciences.

SUMMARY:Conférence Jacques Monod - The mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination
DESCRIPTION:The Conférence Jacques Monod  » The mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination » will take place from Monday\, September 21\, 2026toFriday\, September 25\, 2026 in Roscoff (Bretagne\, France). \n\n\n\n\nAbstracts submission deadline : Tuesday\, May 5\, 2026\n\n\nDeadline for payment of registration fees : July 2\, 2026\n\n\nDeadline for return of completed forms : July 2\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and abstract submission website  \n\n\n\nBeyond mutations\, the genetic content of an organism is generally constant across cells throughout development. Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) – a process in which specific cell lineages lose DNA segments or whole chromosomes – represents is a striking deviation to this principle. \n\nPDE is widespread in eukaryotes and plays roles in a variety of cellular processes\, including gene silencing\, germline differentiation\, genome defence\, and non-Mendelian inheritance. It manifests in diverse biological contexts\, including the formation of germline-limited genomes\, meiotic elimination of parental chromosomes\, and sex determination via X-chromosome loss. \nIn recent years\, it has become increasingly clear that PDE occurs across a wide range of phylogenetic groups\, and involves diverse mechanisms.  These findings underscore the overlooked plasticity of genome integrity\, and reveal significant gaps in our understanding of why PDE has evolved repeatedly and is maintained across the Tree of Life. \nThis conference is designed to present the latest research on the mechanisms and evolution of PDE – from the molecular pathways that control genome stability and chromosome segregation\, to genomic conflicts and the long-term evolutionary consequences of PDE on population dynamics and species diversification. We also welcome researchers studying related phenomena\, such as meiotic drive\, B chromosomes\, and those that work on the mechanisms and regulation of genome stability\, chromosome segregation and germline development. \nThe meeting will address the following key topics: \n\n Mechanisms and regulation of genome stability and instability\nMechanisms of chromosome segregation and missegregation\nGenomic conflicts\nEvolutionary dynamics of programmed DNA elimination

SUMMARY:Ctrl+Epi+Edit\, Engineering the Epigenome
DESCRIPTION:Epigenome editing is a rapidly emerging field that has the potential to revolutionise genomic medicine by offering new ways to precisely program gene expression and treat a range of diseases. Precision control of the epigenome and gene activity is further unlocking key mechanistic insights into a wide variety of molecular and cellular processes. The potential of epigenome editing technologies for both research and therapeutic applications has thus led to widespread excitement over the last five years\, in areas ranging from neurobiology\, to high-throughput (epi)genomics to agriculture. As the technologies continue to emerge and the epigenome editing field begins to coalesce\, we feel now is the time to bring interdisciplinary experts and leaders in the field together. This will enable\, for the first time\, epigenome editors and related disciplines to collectively discuss the technology\, its applications and ethics\, and the exciting scientific insights being generated. Such a symposium will help to accelerate progress in this field by facilitating collaborations between researchers and providing a platform for the dissemination of new discoveries and techniques. It will also help to raise broader awareness of this exciting emerging science and its potential to transform precision medicine. \n\n\n\n\nTime and Place\n\nThe meeting will take place from November 16-17  at Institut Jacques Monod in the heart of Paris\, France \nWe will have two half day sessions\, and a poster session over cocktails and light bites \n\n\n\nKey Dates\n\n\nAbstract Submission: October 1\, 2026 \nRegistration: November 9\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nInvited Speakers\n\n🧬 Gabriella Ficz (QMUL\, UK) \n🧬 Charles Gersbach (Duke University\, USA) \n🧬 Jamie Hackett (EMBL Rome\, Italy) \n🧬 Jake Harris (Cambridge University\, UK) \n🧬 Angelo Lombardo (San Raffaele University\, Italy) \n🧬 Reini Luco (Institut Curie\, France) \n🧬 Mariane Rots (UMCG\, Netherlands) \n🧬 Edda Schulz (MPI Berlin\, Germany) \n🧬 Stefan Stricker (Helmholtz Munich\, Germany) \nMore speakers will be selected from abstracts! \nYou can find all the informations regarding the symposium\, the registration and abstract submission here  \nFlyer of the event: here
