Award to University of Washington for developing technologies to study 3D genome organization, focusing on chromosome biology and its role in health and disease.
Description
This research program aims to develop and apply technologies that enable the characterization of patterns of DNA occurring in healthy cells and to investigate how these impact important cellular processes such as gene expression, DNA replication, and DNA repair. A more complete understanding of how 3D genome organization functions within the cell will provide key insights into why this process is associated with human disease and may inform new therapeutic strategies.
