Scientific summary

Research project: Structure of nuclear hormone receptors.

N. Rochel has joined the IGBMC Integrative Structural Biology Department in 1996. Her research project is aiming at the functional and structural studies of human nuclear hormone receptors and associated proteins. These multi-protein complexes are involved in transcription and its regulation. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms that control gene expression through integrative structural biology approaches in order to obtain information from the atomic to the cellular scale, using biophysical characterization techniques, structural studies in solution, cryo-electron microscopy and crystallography. The results of our research will provide more efficient molecular tools allowing precise control over cell programming and reprogramming and will have immediate impact in therapeutic applications.
