The Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics at ULB Belgium is led by François Fuks and aims to investigate mechanisms of epigenetics and epitranscriptomics in cancer.

Very excited to share our recent paper in @Cell, revealing an elegant mechanism where RNA modification and DNA methylation work together to regulate gene expression and influence differentiation. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kSP3…

Here is our artwork depicting our study in @Cell, showing dynamics between methylation of DNA (5mC) and RNA (m6A), regulating key genes during ES-to-EB differentiation.

Very excited to share our latest paper in @MolCell linking epitranscriptomics to a frequent cancer-associated mutation in SRSF2. Thanks to all the people who contributed, and our fantastic collaborators including Yungui Yang lab & @AbdelWahablab authors.elsevier.com/a/1iDJf…

See our artwork depicting the work, showing SRSF2 as a novel reader of m5C on RNA, leading to splicing (left). The specific cancer-prevalent mutation, P95H, attenuates SRSF2’s ability to read this modification, which prevents splicing, and thereby promoting leukemia (right).

MEET THE LAB! In this case just me. During the next three days, I will be at #EEHD22 @ULBruxelles explaining how we mine the chromatin regulatory space to increase drug response. Big thanks and kudos for organizing to Francois @FuksLab.
