Dissecting the molecular mechanisms during reprogramming of different somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and the plasticity potential of their intermediate stages. [ 2012 - 2014 ]

Also known as: Determining the events that occur during the reprogramming of different adult cells into embryonic stem-like cells and the capacity of becoming another specific adult cell during this process.

Brief description I am a biochemist interested in the molecular mechanisms involved in gene expression and how these processes govern cell identity. I use a combination of mouse models, biochemical techniques and bioinformatics to study the _reprogramming� of adult cells into embryonic stem-like cells and how this technology can be used to generate different cell types for use in cellular replacement therapies and drug screening.
