BE Seminar: “Synthetic Genome Regulation for Cell and Tissue Engineering” (Timothy Downing, UC Irvine)

216 Moore Building

Molecular heterogeneity is emerging as a critical feature of multicellular life. While single-cell analyses have revealed the existence of cell-to-cell variation in the levels and activities of the molecules responsible for gene regulation, the source of such variation is still poorly understood. The Downing Lab […]
