Our work indicates that only a small fraction of the population resides at the top of the hierarchy, that lineage priming (co-expression of stem cell and lineage specific genes) characterizes pluripotent stem cell populations, and that extrinsic signaling pathways are upstream
of transcription factor networks that control pluripotency.
Using computational methods, researchers applied that information to reconstruct
the transcription factor networks responsible for medulloblastoma subtype diversity and identity, providing previously unknown insights into the regulatory landscape and transcriptional output of the different medulloblastoma subtypes.
Novel hybrid phenotype revealed in Small Cell Lung Cancer by
a transcription factor network model that can explain tumor heterogeneity.
His interest lies in defining
the transcription factor networks that control the self renewal and differentiation of embryonic and neural stem cells and their relation to human disease.
Towards resolving
the transcription factor network controlling myelin gene expression.
