Remote control of gene expression: enhancers and the 4D genome with Professor Wendy Bickmore

This week we are honoured to host Professor Wendy Bickmore, the
Director of the MRC Human Genetics unit at the University of
Edinburgh. Wendys research laboratory focuses on trying to better
understand the 3D organisation of the genome, and how this
controls how the genome functions during normal development. They
are further interested in how this may be perturbed into disease.
Wendy talks to us about some of her recent work which has been
extremely important for better understanding enhancer function
and also, some of the challenges and questions which remain to be
answered in the field. She also provides some great insight into
the experiments and methods ongoing in her lab now.
