Chromatin dynamics regulate genome function. [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Elizabeth Hinde (Principal investigator)

Brief description Nuclear architecture is critical to the preservation of genome integrity. The aim of this research proposal is to delineate the role of chromatin organisation in transcription factor target search and damage site recruitment of DNA repair factor machinery. To achieve this I have developed fluorescence microscopy methods to monitor changes in chromatin structure with submicron resolution. Only with this technology can I determine how chromatin dynamics maintain genome integrity or induce disease.
