Funded Activity Summary

Tissue specific regulation of gene expression. Despite the polarized public debate concerning the use of stem cells for tissue regeneration, fundamental questions relating to the identity and hierarchy of these cells remain unanswered. The benefit to Australia will be scientific in terms of providing an understanding of how stem and progenitor cells integrate transcriptional control systems during differentiation and the networks that are involved. This is fundamental to the future isolation and manipulation of these stem cell types to benefit the community. The work will also provide postgraduate students with training in state of the art genomic techniques and in the interface between bioinformatics and experimental science.
