SGS: Marieke Oudelaar - Mechanisms that drive 3D genome folding and their function in gene regulation

Marieke Oudelaar heads a Lise Meitner Group at the MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences on “Genome Organization and Regulation”. She will be joining our Special Guest Lecture Series in June 2024 to talk about her research on the regulation of gene expression in the three-dimensional genome.

Marieke Oudelaar's lab aims to understand how three-dimensional chromatin structures are formed and how regulatory elements function in this context to control gene expression. To this end, the team develops high-resolution chromosome conformation capture (3C) techniques in combination with other genomic techniques, genetic perturbations, and computational approaches. The lab focuses on the interplay between genome organization and regulation during mammalian differentiation and how perturbations in these processes contribute to human disease, including cancer.
