I am very honored to receive this year's Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize. All thanks to my amazing team @EKimlab! The award will greatly support our continued work in understanding 3D genome organization.

(1/8) I am thrilled to share the latest work from
@BisLightyear @iamamardeeep
from @_KevinCorbett @EKimlab!

We show that the bacterial SMC Wadjet complex cleaves plasmid DNA through loop extrusion.

Check our our newest paper available @MolecularCell!

Combining in vivo and in vitro analysis, we find that Smc5/6 preferentially loads and extrudes loops of transcription-induced positive supercoils, thus promotes local cis-interactions.

If you are attending #S3IC2023 and are interested in Single-Molecule-Microscopy and want to learn more about the mechanism and function of Smc5/6-mediated DNA loop extrusion, do not forget to attend the talk by @eugene_kim__ tomorrow at 10:50 am, room 607!

[Max Planck Institute of Biophysics @MPIbp]

Annual faculty retreat to reflect on the last year and discuss future plans: 3 intensive & insightful days to analyse what we are doing well & what we can still improve, and to exchange on challenges & best-practices. Our new director Ana Garcia has joined us for the first time!

[Max Planck Institute of Biophysics @MPIbp]

#MaxPlanck Art & Science Day - for everyone interested in #science & #art! What is #autophagy? How do our cells recycle their waste? How is research communicated via art? Visit us, learn, explore, be creative! With @DoroteaArt, Ayelen Valko, @ArtSci_ARP!

We warmly welcome our new postdoc, Marius Rutkauskas, to the lab! He will be studying the principles of chromosomal organization using single molecule techniques 🔬

He also started preparing for halloween, after a pumpkin carving event at the @MPIbp !

[Max Planck Institute of Biophysics @MPIbp]

Warmest congrats to our postdoc @BisLightyear from our @EKimlab on being awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship Hesse by the @HMWK_Hessen👏 He will study emergency repair service proteins that help to fix serious damages in our DNA.
