Postdoctoral Position to study roles of extracellular microenvironment in cardiovascular development

Posted by , on 9 November 2017

The composition of extracellular microenvironment is dynamically regulated in time and space during embryonic development, and our lab discovered that cell-type specific expression of the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin is ...

Silencing transposons during epigenetic reprogramming

Posted by , on 8 November 2017

Molecules called endosiRNAs help us avoid genetic chaos, according to a new study from a team at the Babraham Institute. Much of the human genome contains pieces of DNA called ...

Stem Cells Pave the Way for new treatment of diabetes

Posted by , on 7 November 2017

A new stem cell study conducted at the University of Copenhagen shows how we may increase the vital production of insulin in patients suffering from diabetes. The discovery helps to ...

Musings of an accidental scientist

Posted by , on 6 November 2017

As we sat together at a farewell dinner after I graduated from Princeton University, my advisers asked me, “What got you into science?”. Although a simple, straightforward question on the ...
