Thomas S. Vierbuchen, PhD

Project title

"Understanding the developmental programming and function of the enhancers that control activity-regulated transcription in the mammalian cortex"

Dr. Vierbuchen [HHMI Fellow] aims to understand how neurons adapt to experience by modifying the complement of genes they express. He is using high-throughput sequencing-based approaches to identify and characterize the function of genomic regulatory elements that control neuronal activity-regulated gene transcription.
