Prof. Dr. Saffet Öztürk held today's CRESCO Guest Lecture titled
"The Relationship Between Female Fertility Loss During Ovarian Aging and DNA/Histone Methylation Changes".
Understanding the interplay between DNA and histone methylation in oocytes is crucial to unravel the molecular basis of fertility decline.
Thank you for a thorough review of both DNA and histone methylation patterns!

Last week our Early Career Researcher Committee organised their first Språkkafe!

💬The idea behind the event was simple, to bring colleagues together to practice Norwegian in a relaxed and friendly environment.

We had great conversations, lots of laughter, and (of course) pizza! 🍕 It was wonderful to see researchers from different countries come together and connect through language and culture.

A big thank you to everyone who joined, we’re already looking forward to the next session!
