In parallel with her final year of PhD at the LCQB, Jeanne Le Peillet has just won two prizes for her business project Beink Dream: the regional Pépite IDF Prize and the National Pépite France Prize. While developing her project, she keeps on producting commissioned scientific illustrations for publications, conferences, patents and funding applications here.
Congratulations Jeanne!

The analysis of the subtelomeres of a green alga, published in Nucleic Acids Research, is featured in this press release on the INSB website. The work, a collaboration between the LCQB ("Telomere and Genome Stability" and "Biology of Genomes" teams) and the IBPC, sheds light into the complexity and evolution of the subtelomeres, structures that are critical for genome integrity.

The "Emergence program" promoted by the "Ville de Paris" is awarded to projects encouraging the creation and the development of new research teams in the Paris region.
Zhou Xu received one of these recognitions for 2019.

The latest publication of the new LCQB team "Telomere and Genome Stability" (Héloïse Coutelier and Zhou Xu) makes the cover of the December issue of Genes & Development! The article (Coutelier et al. 2018 Genes Dev.) shows that telomere-induced senescent cells can adapt to the DNA damage checkpoint safeguard mechanism to force cell division, leading to increased genome instability, with important ramifications for aging and cancer. The cover displays cells bearing a fluorescent reporter construct monitoring of the checkpoint status in single cells.
