Delas Lab at University College London

Cis regulatory control during development

Our lab is interested in understanding how cis-regulatory elements control cell fate decisions during development. While we know these non-coding sequences control gene expression, how they achieve this is still not understood. We have a particular interest in repressors, and how they act via cis-regulatory elements to mediate gene silencing.

We do this by combining stem-cell derived and in vivo models. By using state-of-the-art genomics, proteomics and microscopy approaches, we aim at understanding gene regulatory control by non-coding DNA elements at a molecular level during developmental cell fate decisions.

The lab will open at the LMCB, UCL in May 2024. Join us!

Our Research

Our Research

We are passionate about development, differentiation and gene regulation. We combine dry and wet lab, spanning from cellular models to embryology, genomics and lots of flow cytometry.
