The UCI Mechanisms of Gene Expression Graduate Training Program is part of the large, multidisciplinary Graduate Program in Cellular and Molecular Biosciences. The Mechanisms of Gene Expression Training Program functions as an area of study within the larger program, sharing a common core curriculum and admissions process. The processes of differential gene expression generate extraordinarily complex spatio-temporal networks of gene and protein interactions. To understand the molecular mechanisms of health and disease, we need to understand these networks. The researchers of the several laboratories that comprise the Mechanisms of Gene Expression Research Group at UCI study these networks and interactions in a broad spectrum of experimental systems from bacteria to man. These studies range from the basic biophysical properties of protein DNA interactions and structures to complex genetic control systems for the regulation of human metabolism. Although there is much conceptual overlap among the research approaches in each research laboratory, each research group possesses expertise in specific experimental systems and, in many cases, employs unique technologies. These conceptual and technological approaches are shared among all of the research groups at Gene Expression Club, a monthly research meeting. This intellectual cross-fertilization facilitates the research objectives of each research group and provides a broad training for graduate education in the participating laboratories. The specific research interests of the faculty directors of the research laboratories of the Mechanisms of Gene Expression Research Group are listed on the full faculty page, accessed below.
