2012 - ERIC SO

King's College London, UK

Motivation: The primary goal of Eric So's research program is to characterize the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation that are corrupted in leukaemia. By identification and molecular dissection of the transcriptional and epigenetic networks deregulated by oncogenic transcription factors, the research work should give important mechanistic insights into the molecular basis of the diseases, and in longer term, provide fruitful avenues for development of specific therapeutic interventions.
