STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS

Our laboratory studies the transcriptional regulation of myeloid development and disease using zebrafish and mouse models to discover and understand molecular pathways in haematopoietic development. Within this context, we examine the role of transcription factors and mRNA splicing regulators, employing a multi-disciplinary approach integrating molecular genetics, biochemistry, genomics, and proteomics.
