About me:
Sheila completed her PhD at the University of Glasgow before joining the MRC LMS, working first with Ana Pombo and later with David Rueda. She specialises in high-resolution microscopy techniques to probe nuclear organisation and gene regulation.
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.
