KANSL3 is an epigenetic regulator of hepatocyte metabolism and differentiation, essential for liver development and key to maintaining liver health. @AsifaAkhtar1 @mpi_ie https://t.co/80Wg6R3ggD

KANSL3 controls hepatocyte differentiation and metabolism via histone acetylation. Loss of this epigenetic regulator leads to hyperplasia and liver fibrosis. #Epigenetics #Metabolism #Hepatology #NSLComplex @AsifaAkhtar1 @mpi_ie https://t.co/kGQBqzLMqk

Congratulations to Davor Solter!🎊 Our Emeritus Director receives the 2026 Paul Ehrlich & Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize for the groundbreaking discovery of genomic imprinting! He shares the prize with Azim Surani (@GurdonInstitute) More: https://t.co/nCnV8w0aDU

Congratulations. 🎊 The @royalsociety has elected @AsifaAkhtar1 as a Foreign Member in recognition of her contributions to advance the field of gene regulation. The #Freiburg epigeneticist also serves as Vice President of @maxplanckpress More: https://t.co/9Y2MnwoK8E

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we congratulate Asifa Akhtar @AsifaAkhtar1, who receives the FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award: https://t.co/7bFC70SLY9 #11Feb #February11 #WomenInScience @FEBSnews @mpi_ie @maxplanckpress

We wish you happy holidays and a happy new year. We already had our Institute Christmas Get-together a few days ago. The famous Max Planck Freiburg Christmas Apéro with an international cookie fair & mulled wine. Stay safe. 🎄

🎉 Excited to share that I've been awarded the #EMBOFellows Postdoctoral Fellowship! Immensely grateful to my current host lab @AsifaAkhtar1 @mpi_ie and to my former PhD lab @tinalab_inStem @DBT_inStem for all the support. Looking forward to the new discoveries! 🔬✨

We are in the middle of the first sessions at the 2024 Epigenetics Meeting. Find here some impressions from the welcome and warm-up. 🔥 1/X

@AsifaAkhtar1 @IbrahimCisse_ @ShiekhattarLab @fiddle @AleciaYHLO @ShilatifardLab @RongFan8 @MariekeOudelaar @mpi_nat @ReinbergDanny @SchubelerLab @FMIscience @HaggSara We are a litte bit behind reporting from the 2024 Max Planck #Epigenetics Meeting. Yesterday, we continued with a large poster session. Thank you to all who presented and all who intensively discussed shown data and projects. A short video clip from the session. 8/X

@AsifaAkhtar1 @IbrahimCisse_ @ShiekhattarLab @fiddle @AleciaYHLO Wrapping up the highlights from day one of the Epigenetics Meeting as we dive into day two! We enjoyed insightful talks by Ali @ShilatifardLab and @AsifaAkhtar1, followed by a wonderful conference dinner to close out the day before the last session. 5/X

@AsifaAkhtar1 @IbrahimCisse_ @ShiekhattarLab @fiddle @AleciaYHLO @ShilatifardLab We ended day one on a high note with fantastic talks from @RongFan8 and @MariekeOudelaar (@mpi_nat), covering topics ranging from 3D genome folding to spatial multi-omics. It was a blast.

@AsifaAkhtar1 @IbrahimCisse_ @ShiekhattarLab @fiddle @AleciaYHLO @ShilatifardLab @RongFan8 @MariekeOudelaar @mpi_nat Day two of the 2024 Max Planck Freiburg Epigenetics Meeting started with talks by @ReinbergDanny , Dirk Schuebeler @SchubelerLab (@FMIscience), @HaggSara and Roberto Bonasio. Many questions and good feedback for all speakers. 😆 Still a lot awesome science ahead. 7/X

And some images from the first session with @AsifaAkhtar1, Thomas Jenuwein, Marc Timmers and Bing Ren from San Diego and Stefan Niekamp from Boston. 2/X

Thomas Jenuwein and @AsifaAkhtar1 kicked off the 7th Max Planck Epigenetics Meeting. https://t.co/nA7IUc2RYi

@AsifaAkhtar1 We had fantastic talks by Amanda Fisher from Oxford, Vijay Ramani from UCSF and Haruhiko Koseki from RIKEN and by our Director @IbrahimCisse_ in the first two sessions.

@AsifaAkhtar1 @IbrahimCisse_ More images from the day with Ramin Shiekhattar @ShiekhattarLab giving a wonderful talk on RNA Integrators as well as Stirling Churchman (@fiddle). We are also super proud on Yi-Hsuan Lo @AleciaYHLO from the Jenuwein Depart. who gave a fantastic talk!

Students don't need a perfect teacher. Students need a happy teacher, who's gonna make them excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.
