Research Group: Non-coding transcription

• Epigenetics: We are exploring the effects of chromatin structure on inheritance and functional genomic elements.
• Non-coding DNA: We are testing which of the many DNA sequences in eukaryotic genomes that do not code for proteins (i.e. non-coding DNA) serve a purpose.
• Gene expression: We are characterizing the molecular mechanisms regulation gene expression by RNA polymerase II transcription.
• Genomics: We are developing Next-generation sequencing methods to characterize transcriptional dynamics, gene isoform diversity and chromatin-based genome organization.
• Environmental sensing: We are characterizing how plants adopt to changing temperature at the molecular level to inform novel strategies to combat the effects of climate change.

• Novo Nordisk Foundation Hallas-Møller Investigator Award: This project characterizes the rules and roles of long non-coding RNA.
• European Research Council Starting Grant: This project characterizes the molecular mechanism of gene repression by the act of upstream non-coding transcription in the context of climate change.
• Novo Nordisk Foundation Biotechnology project grant: This project aims to transfer regulation of plant cold tolerance by long non-coding to generate crops with increased resilience to climate change.
• European Molecular Biology Organization Young Investigator Programme: This project supports the characterization of environmental effects on gene expression mediated by non-coding DNA.
