Epigenetics, ageing, and stem cells

Group Leader. Dr Chiara Herzog (Herzog Group). Research Summary. Throughout life, our cells accumulate memories of their experiences, recorded on the “epigenome” - a layer of chemical tags on our DNA that switches genes on or off without changing the underlying genetic code itself. Read more

Studying how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control mRNA translation and impact cancer progression

The Gebauer lab studies how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control mRNA translation and impact cancer progression. We are interested in RBP regulatory networks, which mechanisms RBPs use to regulate translation, and how they can be harnessed for cancer treatment. Read more

Multiscale modelling and statistical inference of tumour initiation and evolution in neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumour of early childhood and, in its aggressive forms, remains hard to treat. These tumours arise when embryonic cells - trunk neural crest cells and their derivatives - fail to differentiate correctly. Read more
