Esashi Lab also @esashilab.bsky.social

Ever wonder what’s happening at centromeres in resting cells? Our latest study, led by @xssaayman and in collab with @nussenza, demonstrates striking enrichment of DNA breaks at centromeres in quiescent human cells. Excited to share this work @MolecularCell now!

Thank Dr. Wan for an exciting talk. This week, Dr. Fumiko Esashi @EsashiLab will discuss centromere instability. Sign up and check out the 2nd half of the year schedule at cancer.columbia.edu/research/progr…

@rguendogdu @TubitakBIDEB @bingoledu2007 @ercelik2000 @Tubitak @UniofOxford Thanks Ramazan for your help on this study!

I sincerely thank @EsashiLab for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important study. She is an excellent PI. Special thanks also to @TubitakBIDEB and @bingoledu2007 for their valuable support. @ercelik2000 @Tubitak @UniofOxford cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Huge thanks to everyone involved and the support from the community. We will be moving to another place 🦋- follow us there (@esashilab.bsky.social) if you are curious about what is going on in the Esashi lab!

This study, conceived 8 years ago, was made possible by a global collab across the UK, USA, Japan and Turkey. The team efforts of Emily and Lucia, relayed by Brian, Jacob, Emoke and Ramazan @rguendogdu, and invaluable assistance from many others, brought this research to life.

We are delighted to share our latest work, characterising the role of BRCA2 and its binding partner PALB2 at centromeres, just out in the latest issue of Cell Reports. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

@auracarreiralab @FachinettiLab @institut_curie @PereaResa @CBM_CSIC_UAM Great discussions - well done Rady!

Thanks Fumiko @EsashiLab, Dani @FachinettiLab @institut_curie Florence and Carlos @PereaResa for serving as PhD jury for our one and only Rady Chaaban. @CBM_CSIC_UAM Congratulations to X-less Rady! 👏👏🥳

We are pleased to inform you that the meeting “From Genome Instability to Cancer: A tribute to Angelos Constantinou” that will take place in Carry-Le-Rouet from March 10th to March 13th 2025 is now open for registration on the link: tribute2angelos.fr/page/home/

@FrancescoLiguo @PietroPichierri Thank you!

@EsashiLab @PietroPichierri Super interesting! Many congratulations!

Great pleasure to share our unusual review article, discussing DNA repair in quiescent cells, out now online bit.ly/3McCj5e

This is our contribution to the Special Issue 'Cutting Edge Perspectives in Genome Maintenance XI' @repair_dna, edited by Penny Jeggo. We thank Penny for this great opportunity!

We find interesting DNA repair mechanisms that are regulated differently in quiescent cells. Excellent work by two talented PhD students, Brian and Jacob, who have contributed equally. There is definitely a lot more to learn and we welcome any feedback you may have!

@rguendogdu @UniofOxford @Tubitak @bingoluni2007 @OFUrsavas @ProfHasanMandal Great having you in the lab - wishing you the best of luck moving forward!

Grateful for the incredible opportunity to spend a year in Prof. Esashi's lab (@EsashiLab) at @UniofOxford, supported by @Tubitak. The experience has been invaluable, and I deeply appreciate the mentorship, knowledge, and collaboration. @bingoluni2007 @OFUrsavas @ProfHasanMandal

@KurumizakaLab Wow - this is super cool! Many congratulations!

Our new paper about the structural mechanism by which RAD51 assembles at double-stranded DNA break sites on chromatin has been published in Nature! doi.org/10.1038/s41586… #CryoEM #Nucleosome #RAD51 #DNArepair

Thrilled to be part of the project - big congrats to Dani & everyone involved!

#1 Happy to share our work “Specialized replication mechanisms maintain genome stability at human centromeres” @MolecularCell from A. Scelfo, A. Angrisani and T. Wilhelm @institut_curie @CNRS where we provide the causes of centromere fragility. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iba63vVUPRl…

@ConstantinouL So sad to hear this news. An excellent scientist, as well as incredibly caring and thoughtful. He will be missed dearly.

It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of Angelos Constantinou's passing today. Angelos was not only a remarkable scientist but also a cherished colleague and friend. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family during this difficult time. He will be profoundly missed.
