Marek Adamus

Marek Adamus is a Researcher at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen, working within the Montoya Group. His research focuses on fundamental molecular mechanisms governing epigenetic inheritance and DNA replication processes.

Research Interests
Adamus specializes in chromatin dynamics during DNA replication, particularly how parental histones are recycled to maintain epigenetic memory across cell divisions. His work bridges structural biology and epigenetics, investigating protein complexes that ensure faithful transmission of epigenetic information. Key methodologies include biochemical reconstitution and structural analysis of replication machinery.

Scientific Output
His 2024 Cell publication demonstrates how the fork protection complex facilitates histone recycling, revealing critical links between replication fork stability and epigenetic inheritance. This high-impact work shows significant interdisciplinary reach across molecular biology and epigenetics fields.

Collaborations & Infrastructure
Adamus operates within the Montoya Group at CPR, leveraging the center's advanced proteomics and structural biology facilities. His research involves international collaborations evidenced by multi-institutional authorship, supported by infrastructure from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
