There is no cost to attend and registration is not required.
 

 

Target Audience

Des Moines University faculty, staff, and students.

Objectives

  • Explain what is meant by chromatin signaling.
  • Describe what histone reader domains are.
  • Describe new developments in nucleosome structure.

Speaker

Catherine Musselman, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Biochemistry, University of Iowa

Dr. Musselman’s research program is aimed at understanding molecular mechanisms of chromatin regulation and how dysregulation of these pathways contributes to disease. Specifically, she seeks to understand, on the structural and thermodynamic level, how reader domains selectively associate with modified nucleosomes, with a long-term goal of understanding how multiple reader domains work together to allow chromatin regulatory complexes to navigate and respond to the dynamic chromatin landscape. Dr. Musselman’s expertise is in NMR spectroscopy, she also utilizes X-ray crystallography, Fluorescence Polarization, and Biolayer Interferometry
