Statement of Research Interest
The Vertebrate Development and Regeneration group studies the mechanisms of cis-transcriptional regulation of genes and how mutations on non-coding cis-transcriptional regulatory sequences might impact in the development of some human diseases, in particular diabetes and pancreatic cancer. To achieve this, the VDR lab uses genomic strategies to identify non-coding cis-transcriptional regulatory sequences and perform genetic functional assays in zebrafish to evaluate the function of these sequences.
