EpiSignal Talk of Prof. Chuna Ram Choudhary

On January 12, 2026, Prof. Maček invited Prof. Chuna Ram Choudhary from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen to give an EpiSignal Talk at the University of Tübingen. Prof. Chuna Ram Choudhary is of Danish Nationality, born in India, has his PhD and postdoctoral experience from Germany, and was recruited as an associate professor to Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen in 2009, where he became Professor in 2013. With his talk „Understanding the roles of lysine acetylation and enhancers in gene regulation” he gave us insights into two main topics of his research interest “Acetylation of histone H2B marks active enhancers and predicts CBP/p300 target genes” and “Disentangling the architectural and non-architectural functions of CTCF and cohesin in gene regulation”.In general, his group focus on novel understanding of the regulatory mechanisms in cell signaling through `systems-wide` investigations of signaling networks, by unraveling the properties and the regulatory landscape of posttranslational modifications in signaling networks. His laboratory applies cutting-edge mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies for unbiased, global, and quantitative analysis of key regulatory PTMs, such as lysine acetylation and ubiquitylation. The laboratory has state-of-the-art facilities for work related to cell biology, biochemistry, and genome editing, and has expertise for live cell imaging, flow cytometry, the next generation nucleic acid sequencing, and protein biophysical analyses.
