Transcriptional responses to signals and hormones

Dr. Franziska Greulich
Gene expression changes in response to signaling cues like stress, infections, nutrition, circadian rhythms etc. are the basis of any cellular response. Every cell reacts in a specific way, depending on the tissue type or signaling pathways. Our aim is to understand transcriptional circuits and to describe the complexity of transcription factor interactions with co-regulators and the chromatin landscape using molecular biology, biochemistry and next-generation sequencing technologies.
