Research grant to study gene regulatory mechanisms in early blood vessel formation, focusing on Etv2's role in endothelial cell differentiation using advanced transcriptomics.
Description
This project aims to understand early steps of blood vessel formation, focusing on the gene regulatory mechanisms that guide this process. The research involves studying the role of the transcription factor Etv2 in endothelial cell (EC) specification and differentiation, using advanced single-cell and spatial transcriptomics techniques.
