The Life in Science

This one is a special episode. We have Dr. Alex Radzisheuskaya, Team Leader in the Division of Cancer Biology at the Institute of Cancer Research, London.

The major focus of Alex’s laboratory at the ICR is to understand how post-translational modifications on histone proteins regulate genome organization and stability and how they contribute to the development of cancer.
