Happy to see our newest collaborative manuscript published in Mol Cell! We hope this work will substantiate the role of biomolecular condensates in the regulation of DNA repair and chromatin organization.

Off-pore Nup98 condensates mobilize heterochromatic breaks and exclude Rad51 Merigliano et al. identified a non-canonical, “off-pore” role for nucleoporins in genome stability and in the spatial regulation of homologous recombination in multicellular eukaryotes. Nup98 condensates form at DNA breaks within pericentromeric heterochromatin to prevent aberrant recombination ...

We are grateful to have received a 3-year research grant from the Czech Science Foundation, in collaboration with Karel Kubíček, to study the structure and biological role of the RAD51 protein. 🤩

Our PI Lumir Krejci is among the newly elected EMBO members. Congratulations!! 😃

Hana Polášek-Sedláčková, former member of our lab, presents her work as an EMBO Installation grantee in Heidelberg at the Meeting of the EMBO Communities.

We are very happy to share the fantastic news! 😃Anna Černá, a high school student in our lab, has won the Czech state competition (SOČ) in Molecular Biology! 🎉Let’s wish her luck in her future endeavours! 🍀
