I am Mathieu Piguet, the new manager of the animal keepers working within the Genopode’s central animal facility.
I have worked at the CIG for several years as an animal keeper and was promoted in February 2019.
I invite you all to join me and the animal facility team on Tuesday April 30 at 11:30 A.M. for an aperitif in the Genopode’s hall.
Looking forward to meet you there.

My name is Romane Meurs and I will be doing an internship in David Gatfield’s lab for the next 3 months. I am a 2nd year master student in biochemistry and cellular & molecular biology at the “Université Libre de Bruxelles” (Belgium).
I was previously doing my master thesis on hypoxia translation mechanisms in S2 drosophila cells at the “Institut de biologie et médecine moléculaire” (IBMM).
In David Gatfield’s lab, I will be investigating the role of the recycling factor eIF2D on the translation efficiency of mARNs that contain uORF.
My name is Katharina Huber and I joined the Fajas lab as a postdoctoral researcher in April 2019.
I received my Ph.D. in Molecular Biosciences and Biotechnology from Graz University of Technology, Austria. As a PhD student at Graz University of Technology and as a research scholar in the department of cancer biology at University of Pennsylvania, I studied metabolic pathways in the context of cancer and lipid metabolism. I gained expertise in disciplines including molecular biology, cellular and mouse genetics, metabolomics, epigenetics, and imaging methods.
During my postdoctoral research at the CIG, I will investigate the role of cell cycle regulators, such as E2F1 transcription factor or the upstream activator cyclin-dependent kinase 4 in cancer metabolism.
Congratulation to Juan Sanchez-Alcaniz who will start his own group in June 2019 at the the Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante (ES) !
The the whole CIG and in particular the Benton lab are warmly congratulating him.
We would like to warmly congratulate Prof. R. Benton on his Advanced ERC grant.
