Tough run at the Novartis Football Cup—the FMI team lost all 3 games, but had a fantastic time together! Looking ahead, our players are excited about the idea of a Science Cup bringing together Basel’s life science institutes 🔬🏆
In a new study, FMI researchers show that two enzymes—KDM2A and KDM2B—act as safeguards in eggs, preventing excessive DNA methylation at gene regions. Without them, abnormal methylation is passed to embryos, repressing genes needed for early development👉cell.com/developmental-…
🇨🇭Postdocs in Switzerland: Don’t miss the 14th Basel Postdoc Network meeting on 8-10 Oct in Klosters! Connect with peers across life sciences, chemistry, medicine, engineering & physics, explore careers & share research. Extended registration until 7 Sep👉 baselpostdocnetwork.unibas.ch
🚨 Job Alert: we seek a Lab Manager for @BatkiJulia's new group (start Mar 2026), which will study cell fate regulation during organ development. Join the Batki's group to drive experiments & lab operations! Apply at: fmi.ch/education-care…
One year in our new home, we welcomed 500+ Novartis colleagues last week for our Open Day. Under the motto United by Science, our visitors explored how FMI research, tech & partnerships fuel biomedical discovery. Check the story for event pics 👇fmi.ch/news-events/ar…
Our Open Day for Novartis was a great success! 🎉 Many colleagues from @Novartis_CH joined us today to explore our science, meet our researchers & enjoy food trucks. Huge thanks to all volunteers and everyone who stopped by — here’s to more connections and collaborations!
A little piece of our history has a new home! The iconic logo that graced the old FMI building on the Rosental campus is now in the lobby of our new home on the Novartis campus, just across the river in Basel. A symbol of our journey and memories 🫶🧬
We’re looking forward to welcoming @BatkiJulia as a new Junior Group Leader in Multicellular Systems! Excited for the fresh perspectives and expertise the Batki lab will bring to our research community 🧬

Huge congratulations to Clara Baader on successfully defending her PhD this week! Her research explored how mechanical forces and biochemical signals coordinate to guide intestinal development and repair 🎓
We’re excited to share that ez_zarr now supports Zarr v3! 🚀 Huge thanks to @mbstadler & Charlotte Soneson who took on the challenge of creating this open-source tool for fast, programmatic access to OME-Zarr file sets + easy plotting 📊 📄 joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110… (1/3)
Excited to share our latest preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Lead by Lukas, we investigated multiple ways of assessing a TF's sensitivity to chromatin based on genome-wide binding profiles. The developed methods allowed us to quantify chromatin sensitivity across tested TFs.
