It´s all about people
Lars Jansen, Group Leader
My job is to motivate others. Have a look at my CV for career path.
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.
Izma Zani, Lab manager & Res associate
Originally from Brunei with a PhD from Leeds University on signal transduction, Izma keeps this dynamic lab running and builds genome edited cell systems to understand transcriptional memory.
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.
Bas van den Berg, PhD student
Trained initially at the University of Leiden and Utrecht, Bas focusses on the hard problem of understanding how CENP-A chromatin is maintained at the right level at the centromere and what determines the unique stability of CENP-A, using neocentromeres as a model.
