Research Interest

Nuclear receptors are a family of proteins that function as ligand-activated transcription factors and regulate gene expression in a ligand binding-dependent manner. I focus on a master regulator of neurogenesis, the Orphan Nuclear Receptor Tailless Homologue (TLX). Based on library projects, synthesis of new ligands and investigation of biological activity by in vitro methods, I am trying to find potent agonists for TLX.
