James Hagman, PhD
Category
Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes, Gene Regulation and Transcription Factors
Specialty
Epigenetics
Location
National Jewish Health, Department of Biomedical Research
Prerequisites
Must have completed at least three years of college
Number of Openings
1
Program Objective
To determine how epigenetic regulators control gene expression in normal B lymphocyte development and leukemias.
Program Description
The student will assist with studies of novel epigenetic pathway that 1) normally turns genes off, 2) is disrupted in leukemia, and 3) controls cell identity, and 3) controls cell identity. In absence of this regulation, many genes are activated out of context with deleterious effects on the host.
