Remote control of gene expression: enhancers and the 4D genome with Professor Wendy Bickmore
Manage episode 299655051 series 2859702
This week we are honoured to host Professor Wendy Bickmore, the Director of the MRC Human Genetics unit at the University of Edinburgh. Wendys research laboratory focuses on trying to better understand the 3D organisation of the genome, and how this controls how the genome functions during normal development. They are further interested in how this may be perturbed into disease. Wendy talks to us about some of her recent work which has been extremely important for better understanding enhancer function and also, some of the challenges and questions which remain to be answered in the field. She also provides some great insight into the experiments and methods ongoing in her lab now.
