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.
You rock science! 👏🏼🎉This year's Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize goes to Claire Donnelly @mpi_CPfS in Dresden and Eugene Kim @MPIbp in Frankfurt. Congratulations! #sciencecareer #womeninSTEM

Check out the beautiful coverpage of our paper @MolecularCell 😊
Excited to see our @MolecularCell cover illustrating dimers of Smc5/6 recognizing transcription-induced positive supercoiling! Made by Camilla Björkegren.

(1/8) I am thrilled to share the latest work from @BisLightyear @iamamardeeep from @_KevinCorbett @EKimlab! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 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. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
