Check out this preprint showcasing a collaborative project between three CEGR labs (@BaiLab_PSU, @mahonylab, and Tan lab) studying the sequence features dictating the binding specificity of the FOXA1 pioneer factor in human cancer cells.

Preprint now available: we investigated the binding specificity of pioneer factor FoxA1 by developing a high throughput synthetic approach ChIP-ISO.

“We Are” happy to be back together at Penn State for the first time since 2019! Thank you to Geeta Narlikar for an incredible start to our summer symposium. Who did you mingle with at our welcome reception? Let us know! Pictures highly encouraged 🥳 #PennStateChromatin23

[Center for Eukaryotic Gene Regulation at PSU @cegrPSU]

Less than 15 minutes until go-time! Thank you to everyone for braving the stormy weather to get here in time for our keynote address and welcome reception. We are looking forward to hearing from Geeta Narlikar for our Robert T. Simpson Plenary Lecture soon! #PennStateChromatin23

Congrats to one of our NIH-funded eukaryotic gene regulation trainees @hmboyd97 (from the lab of @J9Kwapis) on publishing a review article about her work!

[Hannah Boyd @hmboyd97]

So excited to share my recent review! Keep an eye out for more @FrickKaryn and @J9Kwapis lab collaborations in the future👀Big thanks to @PennStateBio and @cegrPSU for their support.

To make it possible for multiple members of a lab to attend, we are keeping registration fees really low ($100 for graduate students, $150 for postdocs for early bird registrations by June 1). We offer a limited number of scholarships for undergrad and grad students.

An awesome collaboration has finally been published in @MolecularCell where we dissected pioneering capabilities of a transcription factor. I contributed with #cryoEM studies. Go @cegrPSU and Tan Lab, @BaiLab_PSU, @lab_poirier!
