Institut Jacques Monod seminar – Aydan Karslioglu

Invited by the Greenberg Lab and the Epigenetic & cell fate, Aydan Karslioglu (Group Leader, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics) will present an Institut Jacques Monod seminar on the theme:

Adjusting the timing of mammalian development

Abstract:

Our lab focuses on mechanisms regulating stem cell state transitions and fate commitment. Specifically, we study how cells communicate signals from their surroundings to the gene expression machinery, especially in the context of cell fate decisions in development and disease. To delineate principles of stemness, we use in vitro and in vivo models and probe molecular processes critical for the emergence, maintenance, and resolution of stem states in physiological and adverse conditions.
