Four inspiring days at the FASAB Biological Acetylation in Health and Disease Conference in Porto. Great science, stimulating discussions, and wonderful interactions with many colleagues, old and new. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2028! #BAHSRC

@MolecularCell Such a wonderful human being and scientist. I have so many fond memories of my days as a graduate student in his lab @ CSHL. He is missed beyond words. -Dicer girl

What a fantastic meeting full of outstanding science and reuniting with colleagues and friends. We miss C. David Allis beyond words. #Epicypher2025

@segal_eran How devastating!!
Thinking of you all at the Weitzman at this terrible time. You will rebuild indeed!

[The Lewis Lab @PeterLewisLab]

It was a privilege to be part of the Allis lab. Dave fostered an environment of rigor, curiosity, and kindness- his impact lives on in the many he mentored. Grateful to reconnect at Rockefeller with this extraordinary group. Thank you to the organizers for an inspiring symposium.

🧬 Did you catch our latest paper? A new study from
@bernstein_lab in collaboration with EpiCypher dives deep into chromatin remodeling in #melanoma, revealing how the SWI/SNF PBAF chromatin remodeling complex mediates chromatin silencing.

Excited for this summer’s NYC Chromatin Club!

Grad students & postdocs: submit your abstracts for a chance to present a poster or talk. Come connect w/ fellow epigenetic New Yorkers!

"...our research shows that the PBAF complex keeps certain genes shut off in #Melanoma,” said Emily Bernstein, PhD, @bernstein_lab

It was wonderful to be part of the group honoring the memory and contributions of David Allis and Gary Felsenfeld to the field of chromatin biology and epigenetics at the National Cancer Institute. @theNCI Thanks to Shiv Grewal @grewalsh, and the organizing committee at NCI for putting this outstanding meeting together. @NIH @NUFeinbergMed @NorthwesternMed @LurieCancer @DrBrianStrahl @MuirLab @berger_lab @CKadoch @GAlmouzni @bernstein_lab @AsifaAkhtar1 @YiZhang_Lab @senergystic @todd_macfarlan @NogalesLab @pioneerfactors @PeterLewisLab @PlathLab @AlexKellyLab
