Research on Chromatin & Gene Expression

Chromatin and Gene Expression

The faculty in cell division and gene expression study basic processes common to all cells. These processes include:

The members of this group are an important part of the campus-wide Cell and Molecular Biology Program, and are also key members of the Center for Cell Signaling.
