Dr. Packert’s
research studies the different levels of control involved in regulation
of gene transcription. Her model involves the interaction between the
polycomb group genes and the homeotic genes of the bithorax-complex in
Drosophila. Specifically she is investigating how polycomb-group genes
maintain differential repression of homeotic genes in embryogenesis and
development. She is also investigating the polycomb gene in zebrafish
in collaboration with Dr. Peter Lin and Dr. Teresa Petrino.
Dr. Packert’s
Laboratory consists of a research associate, Mark Belcher, one student
technician and one MARC student.
