Exciting news 📣 The first preprint from Grand lab (@RalphSGrand ) is out 🧬 How are essential genes controlled? By rapid degradation and recovery of TFs alone or in combination, we show that essential genes rely on a single dominant TF, despite dense co-binding.

That is HUGE, Luke! You deserve this so very much mate! Well done! @LukeIsbel will be tackling the biology behind how transcription factors actually work – by functioning hand-in-hand with chromatin and epigenetic processes. I can’t wait to see what magic you’ll be bring to @ACEpigenetics and @UniofAdelaide! We are all very proud of you! #basicresearchmatters #cancerbiology
Congratulations to @LukeIsbel for his Viertel Senior Medical Research Fellowship, amazing news! One of the most prestigious opportunities in Australian science and we’re thrilled to see this propel him and his team forwards! bit.ly/48k2Yr5
