Transcriptional networks and genomics
By focusing primarily on ER stress we are exploring how gene expression networks are modulated to attain homeostasis. Beyond ER stress, our approaches are applied to other conditions and pathologies such as aging and cancer, as well as for the study of traits at the level of whole populations.
In parallel, we are actively engaged in genomic and transcriptomic studies in Peromyscus.
