Networks

We are coordinating the MSCA ITN NUCLEAR. We jointly train 17 PhD students in the emerging field of Metabolic Genome Regulation. Valentina and Bedri have joined our lab and will pursue projects in acute myeloid leukaemia.

We are also fortunate of being members of the MSCA DN HubMOL dealing with the dual role of hub molecules as key metabolites and signalling mediators. Mehwish Rehman will be jointly supervised by Tanya and Marcus and mine large AML cohort data for metabolic changes.

We are coordinating the MSCA ITN INTERCEPT-MDS. Through doctoral training, we test the possibility to intercept disease by removing diseased cells at the early asymptomatic or less symptomatic phase.

We are members of EpiGene3Sys. This CNRS-funded networking project coordinated by Geneviève Almouzni at Institute Curie and aims to connect the chromatin community in Europe. It is a follow-up of the last EU network of Excellence. EpiGene3Sys concluded with a final conference in Paris in 2024.

We were regular participants in the COST action International Nucleome Consortium (INC) and full members of the related Spanish sister network RedINC. Both networks aimed to advance our understanding of how the genome is folded in the nuclear space and how this knowledge can be used for applications.

Marcus is coordinating the in-house postdoctoral fellowship program CarrerasLeaders funded through the MSCA COFUND call. This project will fund 16 postdocs that are interested to come to Spain to work with IJC group leaders on collaborative projects relevant for blood cancers.

Marcus is coordinating the in-house predoctoral fellowship program CarrerasPathfinders funded through the MSCA COFUND call. This project will fund 14 PhD students to join pre-selected projects and groups in 2024.
