Prof. Mannervik (co-PI) is Deputy Head of Department in the Dept. of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute, with a long-standing interest in gene transcription and chromatin regulation. His mechanistic studies of transcriptional regulation recognize how specific cell states are established and epigenetically maintained, and how their misregulation leads to disease. He uses Drosophila to dissect these mechanisms in vivo by a set of tools that are not readily available elsewhere and combines them with genomic approaches such as PRO-seq, ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag and ATAC-seq. In this consortium, Prof. Mannervik will develop single cell ATAC-seq and CUT&Tag protocols for Drosophila tissues together with Dr. Giangrande at the IGBMC.
