PhD: officially wrapped up! 🎓
I successfully defended and couldn’t be more grateful! From bold projects to brilliant teammates @bonevlab.bsky.social - what an amazing journey. Huge thanks to everyone who shaped it, especially Boyan Bonev(@boyanbonev.bsky.social) & our lab.
Onwards 🚀

Can a stem cell change its epigenome while proliferating? In collaboration with the lab of Amos Tanay, we demonstrate that yes, the epigenome of neural stem cells (NSCs) is continuously remodeled, across multiple layers, during mouse corticogenesis. 1/14

Neural stem cell epigenomes and fate bias are temporally coordinated during corticogenesis
The cerebral cortex orchestrates complex cognitive functions, yet how its distinct temporal lineages are molecularly patterned during development remains unresolved. Here, we integrate single-cell tra...

🚨New preprint from @bonevlab.bsky.social 🚨: What are the key epigenetic mechanisms that drive species-specific gene regulation during primate neurogenesis - and how do they contribute to the evolution of the human neocortex?
Here’s what we discovered 👇

3D Epigenome Evolution Underlies Divergent Gene Regulatory Programs in Primate Neural Development
The expansion of the neocortex is a hallmark of human evolution and is closely linked to neural stem cell biology. Yet, the epigenetic mechanisms driving divergent gene regulation during primate neuro...

✨ Excited to share my latest preprint on how H3K4 methylation promotes transcriptional memory from gametes to embryos across a transcriptionally silent window — crucial for proper zygotic genome activation and development. 🐸🧬✨

📄 Check it out here:
doi.org/10.1101/2025...

👇 Highlights below
H3K4 methylation-promoted transcriptional memory ensures faithful zygotic genome activation and embryonic development
In the life of a vertebrate embryo, gene expression is initiated for the first time at zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Maternally expressed transcription factors present in the embryo are essential f...
