Abstract: Investigating the functional relationship(s) between dynamic nuclear organization and transcription is the principal interest of my laboratory. The recent ability to visualize transcription factor dynamics has provided new insight into molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms. The familiar stick-figure drawings found in textbooks, showing factors bound "statically" to a promoter and/or each other, fail to adequately represent the complexity of transcription in living cells.( http://www.bcm.edu/mcb/faculty/mancini.html )
