Cancer Epigenetics & Nuclear Dynamics Members
The Cancer Epigenetics & Nuclear Dynamics (CEND) program focuses on how nuclear dynamics and information flow within the cell are co-opted in cancer through altered genetic and epigenetic mechanisms.
Bao, Xiaomin
Assistant Professor
Bio
The human body is composed of various morphologically and functionally distinctive cell types, yet they all share the same genome. My group is interested in characterizing how the genome is controlled... [more]
Barish, Grant
Associate Professor
Bio
The major focus of research in the Barish lab is to discover the epigenomic and transcriptional basis of metabolism and inflammation. Our recent work has helped to reveal the genomic architecture for ... [more]
Bartom, Elizabeth
Assistant Professor
Bio
Sequence based assays provide a key window into cellular function, informing research into mutation, transcription, and regulation. I have studied a number of important mutations in cancer genomes, in... [more]
Brickner, Jason
Professor
Bio
DNA zip codes; these elements, when inserted at an ectopic locus, cause targeting to the nuclear periphery. Interaction of genes with the NPC also impacts the spatial organization of the yeast genome;... [more]
