Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

Aside from the Keynote, the presenters at the Showcase are exclusively non-faculty scientists. Presenters have gone on to secure postdoc/faculty positions, forge new collaborations, and publish their research. Abstract submissions are due on March 21st, 2025. www.cancermetabolismshowcase.org

The Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) is recruiting group leaders in cell biology. Don't miss the opportunity to start your team in the vibrant environment of Paris-Saclay University. Application deadline: Feb 28, 2025 www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

Long time not posting about #redoxepigenetics - today the focus is on HMCES a protein that binds to abasic DNA sites caused for instance by guanine oxidation and removed by BER - by protecing those sites HMCES prevents irreparable DNA damage www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Temporary HMCES-DNA cross-link prevents permanent DNA damage

HMCES, a recently discovered but ancient protein, covalently attaches to damaged single-stranded DNA and shields it from nucleases. Rua-Fernandez and colleagues now show that HMCES catalyzes its own recycling, permitting normal growth and non-mutagenic DNA repair.
