Gene regulation and chromatin modifications during Drosophila development and regeneration

Montserrat Corominas, from Barcelona University, Spain, aims to understand how signaling pathways integrate into chromatin dynamics during wing disc regeneration. She studies the function of ASH2, a trithorax-group protein. Specifically, she focuses on how ASH2 influences different aspects of transcription and what drives the specificity of ASH2 in the different complexes. She has been invited by Cristina Pujades (UPF).
