It´s all about people
Lars Jansen, Group Leader
My job is to motivate others. Have a look at my CV for career path.
Julia Humes, Lab manager and Research Associate
Julia is from the far north of England but a long-time resident of Oxford. She is our expert protein biochemist and emerging cell biologist in neocentromere biology.
Grant Rowley, DPhil student
Grant is a London native and did his undergrad at Imperial. He joined us as an Oxford-Wolfson-Marriott scholar to disover how centromric chromatin is stably transmitted long-term via maintenance of an epigenetic feedback loop.
Anna Kogan, DPhil student
Anna came to us from St. Petersburg, via Kansas City and Vienna. Anna is a Hill Foundation scholar at Oxford to discover how long-term transcriptional memory is dynamically controlled at the single cell level.
Ben Carty, Postdoc
Ben is Irish and did fascinating work on the enigmatic asymmetric centromere structure in the fly germline before joining us as a Marie Curie Fellow to understand the equally mysterious path to human neocentromere formation.
Pawel Mikulski, Postdoc
Pawel is from Poland, trained in Germany and at the John Innes in Norwich bringing a unique plant perspective to our lab. He now applies his chromatin and transcription expertise to understand long term transcriptional memory in innate immunity.
Sahar Tehrani, Postdoc
As her name suggests, Izma is from Tehran and joined the lab to understand how local chromatin structure cooperates with transcription factors to heritably maintain active gene expression.
Part II students
Final year intergrated masters in Biochemsitry at Oxford. A year in the lab, a lifetime of memories!
Emer Shell
Emer of Somerville College was with us in 2022-2023 working on the role of enhancers in long-term transcriptional memory of interferon signalling.
Orissa Welsh
Orissa of Corpus Christi College was with us in 2022-2023 working on feedback in CENP-A assembly.
Louise James
Louise of The Queen's College was with us in 2021-2022 working on interferon memory in primary cells and Macrophages.
Arjun Dasannacharya
Arjun of Teddy Hall was with us in 2021-2022 working on feedback in CENP-A assembly.
Milind Sood
Milind of Trinity College was with us in 2020-2021 working on the role of MCM3 in CENP-A assembly.
