Investigating the Roles of IRF6 in Epithelial Maturation, Craniofacial Development, and Orofacial Cleft Pathogenesis
(2018-04-10)
Cleft lip and/or palates (CL/P) are common congenital malformations, and mutations in the transcription factor IRF6 are the most significant genetic contributors to cleft pathogenesis. IRF6 is a master regulator of epithelial ...
The Design and Characterization of Bifunctional Degraders of TRIM24, a Novel Transcriptional Dependency in Hematologic Malignancies
(2018-04-24)
Transcriptional control is critical to the proper functioning of cells, their growth, differentiation, and survival. Because genomic and epigenomic alterations can deregulate transcription and promote an oncogenic state, ...
Directed evolution of Cas9 for mammalian genome editing
(2018-05-14)
The ability to manipulate the genome has been a longstanding goal since the discovery of the central dogma of molecular biology. Such a technology would not only allow us to correct deleterious mutations for human therapeutics ...
Causality in Epigenetics: Strategies for Targeted Epigenome Engineering of Transcriptional Regulation and Genome Topology
(2018-05-14)
Changes in epigenetic states are at the heart of normal developmental processes and also underlie many human diseases. Studies to date have established strong associations between histone post-translational modifications, ...
