Poster Prizes go to Lausanne and Boston – one stays in Freiburg

We are excited to present the poster prizes awarded at the 2024 Max Planck Freiburg Epigenetics Meeting.

The Max Planck Freiburg Epigenetics Meeting has become an established meeting place for high-profile scientists from all over the world. It therefore provides a great opportunity for scientists to exchange ideas, present latest research, catching up with colleagues and making new friends.

Poster session

During the two-hour live poster session, more than 65 international junior scientists and advanced researchers presented their research projects and insights from their laboratories, stimulating engaging discussions on their data and methodologies. Their work was then evaluated by a poster prize committee comprised of speakers from the Epigenetics Meeting: Vijay Ramani (UCSF), Marieke Oudelaar (MPI-NAT), Roberto Bonasio (UPenn).

We are pleased to share the three poster prize awards of the 2024 Epigenetics Meeting each endowed with 300 Euros.

  • Olga Rosspopoff (EPFL, Laboratory of Virology & Genetics, GHI, Switzerland – Trono Lab)
    “Transposable element co-option drives Transcription Factor neofunctionalization”
  • Harleen Saini (Harvard Medical School , Boston, USA – Moazed Lab)
    “Genetic compensation in β-actin mutants occurs independently of mutations that destabilize β-actin mRNA”
  • Niyazi Umut Erdogdu (MPI-IE, Freiburg, Germany – Akhtar Lab)
