Students in this training group work with a diverse group of faculty who employ an extensive range of experimental approaches with the goal of understanding chromatin and regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Recent advances in the identification of chromatin modifying proteins and in the elaboration of the histone code hypothesis illustrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches in gaining insights into this exciting area of research. Students also have the opportunity to examine the effect of chromatin on other DNA-based processes such as replication, recombination, and repair. All students receive broad training in genetic, biochemical, and genome-based approaches in analysis of these fundamental processes.
Regulation of mineral metabolism, molecular actions of vitamin D in calcium metabolism and cancer prevention, gene-environment interactions influencing bone/calcium metabolism or cancer
Single molecule fluorescence lifetime imaging and fluorescence correlation spectroscopic measurements of epigenetic modification of single living cells, Nanotools and Raman spectroscopy for detecting in vivo phosphorylation, mRNA, and Micro RNA.
Understanding how the cell nucleus directs expression and stability of the genome and how tissue architecture influences nuclear organization. Identify tissue architectural factors (notably apical polarity) that contribute to cancer development.
Training Groups are topic-oriented research groups consisting of faculty from multiple departments.
Training groups are an administrative home for PULSe students, a student choice that impacts
curriculum and research training activities.
