Karl Pfeifer Lab: Section on Genomic Imprinting
Welcome to the Pfeifer Lab
We are part of the Genetics and Epigenetics of Development Affinity Group at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in Bethesda, Maryland. Our research examines the biological functions and the regulated expression of a cluster of imprinted genes on the distal end of mouse chromosome 7.
Leah Rosin Lab: Unit on Chromosome Dynamics
Todd Macfarlan Lab: Section on Mammalian Development and Evolution
At NICHD, our central mission is to ensure that every human is born healthy. Despite much progress in understanding the many ways the mother interacts with the fetus during development, we still know little about the genetic changes that promoted the emergence of placental mammals over 100 million years ago from our egg-laying relatives, nor those mechanisms that continue drive phenotypic differences amongst mammals.
Gisela Storz Lab: Section on Environmental Gene Regulation
Dr. Gisela Storz received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1988. She carried out post-doctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Sankar Adhya at the National Cancer Institute and in the laboratory of Dr. Fred Ausubel at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is currently head of the Section on Environmental Gene Regulation.
