NIH Funds New Center for Genomic Regulation

The NIH has awarded a new five year effort, led by Dr. Freeman, to establish a Center for Genomic Regulation at OMRF.  This Center, co-directed by Dr. Gorbsky, will support development and expansion of research into how DNA is copied, stored, and used in cells.  The Center will support four new investigators at OMRF (Drs. Kirkland, Donczew, Finn, and Krishnan) as they establish and expand their labs. The Center will also have research cores in Epigenomics and Artificial Intelligence to the support this work.  Ultimately the goal of the Center to make Oklahoma a hub for biomedical research in this area.
