The Scaffidi Lab

Led by Paola Scaffidi, we're a group at at IEO (Milan) and the Francis Crick Institute (London) and interested in epigenetics and cancer.

Histone acetylation - not always about transcriptional activation: H4K16ac safeguards the genome replication program by repressing premature replication of heterochromatin. Well done Marta Milan! https://t.co/Jxbo1JkClC

Beautiful work!

One PhD position available in our Lab

Many #epigenetic regulators of diverse function in human cells - how do they cooperate to robustly control cell behaviour? we have addressed this experimentally https://t.co/OO8DSSJVAZ and discussed implications for cancer https://t.co/MOvFIayzTx @IEOufficiale @TheCrick

[The Scaffidi Lab @ScaffidiLab]

@SGRodriques Most early-career GLs @TheCrick have done amazingly well, w huge impact in many fields. I wonder how they managed - maybe good ideas and solid science rather than bla bla bla? @SantosLaB8, @pontus_skoglund,@DinisCalado,@jonnykohl,@LiGroup_Crick,@AnastasiouLab,@TurajlicLab, etc
