Mapping the dark genome in early embryonic development: Mechanisims establishing and maintaining epigenetic stability

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
How does a single pluripotent cell reorganise its genome as it becomes a specialised cell? While we know much about the genes that define cell identity, far less is understood about the “dark genome”, repressed and structurally complex regions whose organisation within the nucleus helps determine which genes can be used.

Fuelling proliferation: how transporters control metabolism in development and cancer

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)
Postgraduate Studies
Many cancers lose their differentiated identity and revert to a stem cell-like state. This project asks whether they do so in part by reactivating the metabolic programmes that drive growth in early development, and whether membrane transporters are important regulators of this. Read more
