Our newest paper is out! Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss
We discovered why keeping off weight is so challenging - fat cells retain an epigenetic memory of their previous state, even after weight loss. This memory may play a role in the long-term challenges of weight maintenance and potentially contributes to the yoyo-effect.
SNSF Spark grant for Dr. Fengzheng Gao
Dr. Fengzheng Gao won the Spark grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. He will work on microalgae engineering for iron-deficiency anaemia treatment, hosted by the ETH Zurich Laboratory of Nutrition and Metabolic Epigenetics and the Sustainable Food Processing Group.
New observational study on the relationship between diet quality and biological ageing
In this publication, we explored the connection between diet quality, EpiNutrient intake, and epigenetic age.
New publication on single-cell DNA methylation age prediction, highlighting ageing heterogeneity in mouse blood
In the most recent publication by the von Meyenn Lab and collaborators, we generated a large single-cell DNA methylation and transcriptome dataset and developed scEpiAge, a single-cell DNA methylation age predictor.
New Paper is out: Benchmarking Computational Methods for Single-Cell Chromatin Data Analysis
We benchmarked 8 scATAC-seq data processing pipelines for their performance in clustering, predicting gene activities, and integrating with scRNA-seq.
Congratulations, Dr. Hinte!
On March 15th 2024, Laura successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Shifting Landscapes: Exploring the Adipocyte Epigenome in Obesity, Weight Loss, and Changing Climates”. The whole lab congratules you Laura, well done!
