Epigenetic regulation of muscle growth in fish
-
This is a past event
Professor Jorge Fernandes will be the next guest speaker in the School of Biological Sciences Friday research seminar series.
Professor Jorge Fernandes is a Professor in Genomics and Molecular Biology at the Unviersity of Nordland (Norway)
His research uses molecular and genomic tools to study muscle growth and the innate immune system in teleosts. His interests are domestication, antimicrobial peptides, microRNAs and the epigenetic regulation of gene networks by environmental factors. This research focuses on commercially important species such as Nile tilapia, Atlantic cod, Atlantic halibut, Atlantic salmon and Senegalese sole but also uses zebrafish as a convenient model species.
