On October 9 and 10, most of the lab attended the Dutch Biophysics conference in Veldhoven. Lab members presented oral and poster presentations, and enjoyed seeing the work of all the other biophysics groups.

We welcome BEP student Li Jing Hu and junior researcher Jackson Moore to our lab! We look forward to having a great time doing science together with you!
In this work, we show how diffusive motion of ORC and MCM is restricted by the presence of nucleosomes surrounding an origin of replication. The PDF will be posted on our Publications page shortly. Congrats to all involved!
We are attending the CSH meeting on Eukaryotic DNA Replication and Genome Maintenance and the EMBO workshop on DNA Topology and Topoisomerases in Genome Dynamics this coming week. Nynke, Daniel, Humberto, and Zhaowei are presenting. We are looking forward to hearing about and discussing new science!
We welcome Francisco Palmero Moya to the group as our new scientific programmer, and Xiangcheng Chen as postdoc focusing on magnetic tweezers force spectroscopy. We look forward to working together with you!
Our manuscript on the dynamics of the replicative helicase, CMG, was published in Nature Communications on April 14, 2023. The pdf files can be found under our Publications tab. Here is the accompanying press release.
Our collaborators in the Mattiroli lab published their work on CAF-1 biochemistry in NAR today! Congratulations! Theo and Nynke helped out in setting up this project at its start.
Annice van Hemmen recently joined the group to carry out her bachelors research project in Nanobiology. Welcome!
