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.
