Hi all!
Have you seen the cover of last issue of @embojournal beautifully illustrated by @joana_gcc and asked yourself who are the people involved in this exciting research on epigenetics and brain development? We are Albert Lab from Dresden and this is our official account!
Before the year ends, a big congrats to our very skilled technician Annika Kolodziejczyk for publishing a step by step guide on how to successfully electroporate sliced cortical organoids for studies of gene function in @JoVEJournal. ⬇️ @CRTDpressapp.jove.com/t/67598/electro…
In September dear @HoffmannJanin defended her PhD thesis successfully, and became the first Dr. graduated from our lab! Today she starts her new job in Reykjavík, Iceland as Research Scientist and we wish all the best to her! 🥂👏
Yesterday, the first PhD student graduated from the lab 🤩 Congratulations, Dr. Hoffmann! 🥳🥂 Fantastic presentation and Q&A session. We wish you all the best for your next adventure 🌋🧬🧫

Last week we had our lab day on a beautiful summer day in Spreewald! We discussed what de/motivates us, what should we do to improve things, how to keep our positive culture in the lab. Well, after hours of paddling, pipetting wasn’t easy on the next day, but it’s worth it! 😊
Systemic comparison of PRC1 function by our PhD student @JanineEpperlein @CRTDpress, with support from @t_schuetze Annika Kolodziejczyk @DcGenomeCenter, in collaboration with Haruhiko Koseki. Many thanks to all contributors!
New preprint from our lab is out!

With this study we set out to detangle the different roles of PRC1 subunit PCGF during neurodevelopement.
Our PhD student @HoffmannJanin’s work with the help of @t_schuetze & Annika Kolodziejczyk and our collaborators!
We show that canonical PRC1.2/1.4 significantly influences neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation in the developing neocortex, while non-canonical PRC1.3/1.5 has a minor role, highlighting the importance of canonical PRC1 in regulating neural development. @CRTDpress
Last Friday, we welcomed 2,300 visitors to @LangeNacht_DD at #CMCB! ✨
Microscopes 🔬 quizzes ❔ scavenger hunt🔎We had it all! Big congrats to Sonali @ssonali_9 from the Calegari group for winning 🥈place in the Science Slam 🎤!

Join us at the Dresden Science Night! @LangeNacht_DD@CRTDpress
At booth 2 3 you can explore our organoids and craft some neurons yourself. Just follow the path 🧠🔬 #LNdWDD
