The Bähler laboratory studies genome regulation during cellular quiescence, ageing and stress response using fission yeast as a model system. We apply multiple genetic, computational and genome-wide approaches for systems-level understanding of regulatory processes and complex relationships between genotype, phenotype, and environment, including roles of genome variation and evolution, transcriptome regulation, and non-coding RNAs.
We are at University College London in the Research Department of Genetics, Evolution & Environment and associated with the UCL Cancer Institute, the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology, the UCL Genetics Institute, and the Institute of Healthy Ageing. Our research is mainly funded by a Senior Investigator Award from the Wellcome Trust.
