Postdoctoral Position Available POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS Chromatin Remodeling Enzymes, Gene Expression & Cell Differentiation A position is available to examine the mechanisms by which histone modifying and ATP dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes promote gene-specific and higher order chromatin structural changes during the activation of genes that are required for cellular differentiation (see EMBO J 25:490; MCB 27:384; JBC 282:6564 MCB 29:1909).  Current emphasis is on skeletal muscle and adipose differentiation.
