Welcome to our new PhD student, Quirin!
Growing up in the Swiss Alps, Quirin was always captivated by biological processes. He moved to Basel to study biology, obtaining an MSc in Molecular Biology from the Biozentrum, University of Basel. During his master’s thesis, he worked on the genetic regulation of virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria, developing a keen interest in genetic circuits. Quirin joined the Grosshans Lab as a PhD student focusing on the regulation of oscillatory gene expression during C.elegans development. Outside the lab, he does a lot of sports, ranging from running to kickboxing, and he enjoys spending time with his friends and family.
Farewell Maike and Smita!
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Congratulations, Maike, on your successful Phd Thesis Defense!

Welcome to our new PhD student, Leonie!
Leonie obtained a French-German BSc in Human and Molecular Biology from the Universities of Saarbrücken and Strasbourg and a MSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the University of Strasbourg. During her master thesis at the IGBMC in Strasbourg she focused on understanding the role of BCL7 proteins in SWI/SNF assembly and function. She joined the Grosshans lab as a PhD student in March 2023, focusing on understanding the dynamics of heterochromatin during the development, using C. elegans developmental oscillations as a model.
