Comparative genomics of regulatory evolution

Irene will begin her Fellowship in the laboratory of Professor Yoav Gilad at the University of Chicago, investigating differences in gene regulation during development in humans and two non-human species by using stem cells. This work will be undertaken in collaboration with Dr Louise Laurent at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego and the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, where her adviser, Dr John Marioni, is based.
