Scientist studying mechanisms of DNA repair using single molecule approaches.
Attending a wonderful DNA repair meeting in Trondheim, Norway. Thanks Barbara van Loon for being a splendid host.
Thanks to Roman and Maurice from LUMICKS for arranging the trip.
Spent a lovely day at Masaryk University CEITEC – Central European Institute of Technology Kamenice 5, 625 00 Brno, wonderful tour of the Biomolecular Interactions and Crystallography Core Facility / CEITEC by Jitka Holková
Brno is a center of innovation, since the days of Mendel.
Spent the last five days in the Czech Republic. Prague us a beautiful city.
Inspiring talks (especially Representstive Summer Lee) at the Standup for Science 2025, Pittsburgh, the home of the Salk polio vaccine.
Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

What are your plans for October 2025? It would be a fantastic time to visit Norway for the Endogenous DNA Damage and Repair conference with a stellar set of speaker covering a wide range of topics. www.endodnadamage.com
Happy Thanksgiving! A good time to pause, and appreciate all that is good in our lives, and to be grateful for friends and family. Enjoy!
Happy to celebrate Brittiani Schnable's PhD work on thymine DNA glycosylase! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Thymine DNA glycosylase combines sliding, hopping, and nucleosome interactions to efficiently search for 5-formylcytosine - Nature Communications
Thymine DNA glycosylase is an essential DNA repair enzyme involved in oxidative demethylation of 5- methylC. In this study the authors have tracked specific and non-specific DNA binding of TDG at the ...
