We have strong expertise in multicolor flow cytometry and the use of genomic techniques - such as Chip-seq to assess transcription factor binding and epigenetic configuration as well as microarray and sequencing-based (RNA-seq) gene expression profiles. Importantly, data interpretation is supported by a number of bioinformaticians "in-group" and extensive collaboration with the Center for Bioinformatics neighbors. Thus, the American University Scholarship successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment with access to all modern facilities.
