New technologies to map transcription factor binding sites in mammalian cells.

Robert Tjian - Professor, Molecular and Cell Biology

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

Regulation of DNA transcription is one of the mechanisms at the core of cellular identity establishment and maintenance. Our lab is interested in studying the proteins that operate such regulation, transcription factors (TFs). Uncovering TFs DNA binding specificity is key to understand how certain TFs switch on (or off) some...

Diffusive Dynamics Analysis for Single-Molecule Tracking in Live Cells.

Robert Tjian - Professor, Molecular and Cell Biology

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

In live cells, biomolecules are in constant motion, driven by a range of specific and nonspecific interactions. These dynamic behaviors are key to understanding the in vivo properties and functional mechanisms of biomolecules. Single-molecule microscopes, which enable the tracking of individual target molecules, have opened new frontiers in this...

Building molecular tools to image single transcription factors in live cells.

Robert Tjian - Professor, Molecular and Cell Biology

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

Regulation of DNA transcription is one of the mechanisms at the core of cellular identity establishment and maintenance. Our lab is interested in studying the nuclear dynamics of the proteins that operate such regulation, transcription factors (TFs). To this aim we typically fuse a TF of interest with either Halo...
