About me:
Ferran Garcia Llagostera is a PhD student in the lab. He carried out his undergraduate degree in Genetics at the “Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona”. On the same year he moved to London to study MSc in “Human Molecular Genetics” at Imperial College London. He joined the Chromatin and development lab at September 2019 with a MRC LMS studentship. Some hobbies outside the lab are history and philosophy, gardening, cooking and traveling.
Our lab is interested in the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of early development. We study how transposons have been co-opted to regulate essential processes in development, and how their misregulation may contribute to disease.
