Research:

Our overall goal is to characterize various conserved regulatory mechanisms that function in eukaryotes to ensure an appropriate gene expression response to internal and external cues. These studies are pursued using a model organism, budding yeast, and focus on events that occur in the nucleus. More details concerning our ongoing work can be found on the Schultz lab website.
