Dr. Edda Schulz - Regulatory Networks in Stem Cells

• 2005: Diploma in Biochemistry from Universität Tübingen (Germany)
• 2009: PhD from Humboldt Universität (Berlin) and Deutsches Rheuma-Forschungszentrum (Germany)
• 2010-2013: PostDoc at Institut Curie (Paris, France)
• since 2014: Max Planck Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin (Germany)

Research interests

• Understanding gene-regulatory networks through combination of mathematical modelling (deterministic and stochastic) with quantitative experiments
• X-chromosome inactivation
• High-resoluation microscopy, image analysis, next-generation sequencing
