The opportunity to work in live cell imaging within the context of a cancer cell. It gives me a unique perspective into how fundamental processes such as transcription vary from cell to cell.
What kind of work do you do at the NIH?
I work on chromosome organization, a field of intense scientific research. I try to understand how the spatial organization of chromosomes affects transcription. We are using live cell imaging to look at the transcription of endogenous genes in breast cancer cell lines.
