Zaugg Group

Systems (epi)genetics to study the basis of complex traits and diseases

The Zaugg group investigates the variation of molecular phenotypes among individuals and their genetic variation, with the aim of better understanding the molecular basis of complex genetic diseases and inter-individual differences in drug response.

Our work on the molecular basis of triple mutated AML is online!

This is a great collaboration with our MMPU partner lab headed by Caroline Pabst. Check it out here: http://www.bloodjournal.org/content/early/2019/05/10/blood.2018862383?sso-checked=true Hepatic leukemia factor is a novel leukemic stem cell regulator in DNMT3A, NPM1, and FLT3-ITD triple-mutated…


Our work about TET2 function at enhancers in AML is online!

Great collaboration with Kasper Rasmussen and Christian Helin! Check it out here: https://genome.cshlp.org/content/29/4/564  TET2 binding to enhancers facilitates transcription factor recruitment in hematopoietic cells The epigenetic regulator TET2 is frequently mutated in hematological diseases.…

Successful first edition of our EMBL ATAC-Seq course!

Thanks everyone involved for making this a success! The next Attacking Open Chromatin with ATAC-Sequencing course will happen again next year in September 2019. Make sure to write a good motivation letter, the course was heavily oversubscribed this year.



We are officially part of the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit

The Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit is a program to connect basic science (at EMBL) with clinical research (at the University hospital Heidelberg). Our MMPU group will be focusing on investigating the stem cell interactions within the bone marrow niche. Check out our MMPU website: Stem…


Our paper on CTCF loops and splicing is out!

Check out our new paper on how CTCF loops can affect alternative exon usage: Ruiz-Velasco et al. (Cell Systems 2017). You can download the pdf here. Light summary and some background was covered in the EMBL News here.
