Role of chromatin state in transcription regulation. Computational modeling of transcriptional regulation in the context of chromatin dynamics. Many regulatory interactions depend on specific sequence signals like cis-regulatory elements, microRNA sequences or amino-acid sequence motifs in proteins.

The LSBG is using microfluidics, high-throughput sequencing, single cell genomics, large-scale yeast screens, and computational approaches to characterize the regulatory code in Drosophila and mammals and to examine how variations in this code affect molecular and organismal diversity. The three pillars of our laboratory. Understanding mesenchymal stem cell function and the regulatory mechanisms underlying white and brown adipogenesis. The genetics of variable transcriptio.

The Group of Biomedical Sciences intends to be a leading academic biomedical center with a prominent role at national and international level. Within the group, basic biomedical research is linked with clinical research performed at the University Hospitals Leuven.

Visual navigation behavior of Drosophila larvae. How does the nervous system develop in order to perform a large array of distinct functions? Research project in our lab is centered on this basic biological question. We combine molecular genetics,. As well as the Acoel worm species.

How to reach us? Welcome to the Van Rij lab! Arboviruses, insect antiviral immunity, and RNAi. In Nijmegen, the Netherlands. We are affiliated with the dept. Medical Microbiology of Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre.

I am a lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Essex. My research interest focuses, mainly, on the origin and evolution of eukaryotic regulatory systems. Currently I am working in the impact of microRNA emergence in the evolution of regulatory networks.
