I am overly honored to be included into the Emmy-Noether Programme by @dfg_public. Looking forward to expand my group @MHH_life and explore #chromatin features underlying clonal competition in #hematopoiesis. Incredibly grateful for all the support @FlorianHeidel @Armstrong_dfci

On my way home from #EHAReCon2026 in Helsinki having caught up with old friends, met fantastic new colleagues and bright trainees, learned new things and now full of new ideas! Thanks @EHA_Hematology!

Very greatful to be able to contribute some of our work to this great story highlighting KAT6/7 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in MLL-dependent leukemias. Great teamwork with @MAF_Dawson @Armstrong_dfci and my lab @mhh_life.

Congratulations Mark! This is fantastic news. Very well deserved!
Incredibly humbled & grateful to @ASH_hematology for the honour of the William Dameshek Prize. A recognition that belongs to the awesome scientists I have the privilege of working with every day in @TheDawsonLab @PeterMacRes @GenCancerCentre
It was a great pleasure to work together with you guys and it is fantastic to see this coming together so nicely after such a long time working on this topic.
Definitely a good starting point for further clinical development ans fundamental mechanistic follow up questions...
Congratulations to @ShellainaGordon @florian_perner on this exciting study which was a fantastic collaboration between @Armstrong_dfci and @TheDawsonLab @PeterMacRes @GenCancerCentre - we hope to see this clinically translated soon!
