ory networks that underlie cellular differentiation. One of the key methods in her research is ChIP-chip technology, a method that detects all genomic binding sites for a particular protein in one experiment. Using this technology, she has demonstrated that gene regulatory networks are often context-dependent and integrated with other networks. She hopes to build predictive models of gene regulation that could help in the treatment of human disease.

Dr. Zeitlinger earned a B.Sc. in Human Biology from King's College London, U.K., and a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology for her work with Dirk Bohmann, Ph.D., at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. She was awarded an undergraduate scholarship from the German National Merit Foundation and a long-term postdoctoral fellowship from the Human Frontier Science Program.
