Biography

Mariusz Nowacki is a Full Professor of Genetics at the University of Bern, Switzerland. He serves as the Director of the Institute of Cell Biology and leads a research group focused on RNA-mediated epigenetic inheritance in eukaryotic cells, particularly using ciliated protozoa as model organisms. His lab investigates the complex epigenetic phenomena associated with whole-genome scale developmental DNA rearrangements. This research has implications for understanding how developing zygotic genomes are accurately programmed using RNA-based mechanisms. Nowacki's contributions to the field have been recognized with several prestigious grants, including the ERC Starting Grant in 2010 and the ERC Consolidator Grant in 2015. With a solid background in genetics and a PhD from École Normale Supérieure University of Paris VI, he has extensive research experience, including postdoctoral work at Princeton University. His publications appear in high-impact journals, shedding light on the intricacies of genome rearrangement and epigenetic programming.
