Must have completed at least three years of college
Number of Openings: 1
Program Objective:
To determine how EBF- regulates B cell specific gene expression and chromatin structure
Program Description:
The student will assist with studies of EBF, which functions as a "pioneer" factor in early B cell development. EBF directs progenitor cells to become B cells. This occurs, in part, due to EBF-dependent modifications of chromatin structure.
