Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu, an accomplished Research Group Leader at Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, merges her background in Chemical Engineering and Biology to spearhead pioneering research in epigenetics and chromatin regulation. Focusing on cell communication's role in gene expression during developmental and disease contexts, Aydan and her team employ cutting-edge techniques, including functional perturbation methods and omics approaches. By deciphering how genetic networks adapt to embryonic conditions, her work sheds light on the intricate mechanisms guiding cell fate determination.
