Description & Details:
The research focus of the Akhtar department includes mechanisms underlying chromatin and epigenetic regulation. The lab uses fly and mouse models employing multidisciplinary approaches such as genetics, biochemistry, functional genomics, single cell analyses as well as cell biology and structural biology. Main interests of the lab include studying dosage compensation of the male X chromosome in fruit flies, role of non-coding RNAs in gene regulation and epigenetic regulation of cell fate decisions in mammals.
We are looking for enthusiastic, highly-motivated, science-driven and experienced scientist to join our team to unravel the molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression.
