Alex Erkine laboratory
Two major directions:
1. Development of screening
systems for drugs affecting HSF.
2. Investigation of chromatin
remodeling mechanisms
associated with gene activation /
repression.
Molecular Biology: gel
electrophoresis, cloning,
mutagenesis, gene
replacement,
RT-PCR, chromatin
immuno-precipitation,
High throughput screening
assay development
and others.
What students can expect from
the lab rotation:
1. Obtainin skills in molecular
biology techniques.
2. Exposure to the
medical/pharmacology research
ideology.
3. Participation in New Drug
Discovery projects.
