From circadian rhythm to sleep, next maybe memory and study, I am working on the construction of gene and microRNA regulatory networks of these basic biological phenomenon. Profit from the huge number of microarray-, knockout- and mutant data, more and more transcriptional factor binding motif databases and the computational method in promoter analysis, we can construct a systematic gene-microRNA network, it will pave the way for understanding the molecular mechanism of these phenomenon.

Research area:

I am working on the reconstruction of the gene regulatory network underlying the circadian clock in the model organism drosophila melanogaster. To this end, I am combining publicly available micro array data sets to increase the validity of identified circadian oscillating genes. The core circadian network is regulated by transcription factors, which also control downstream targets through cis-regulatory elements. Comparative genomics data for drosophila is available and adds crucial informations for the identification of transcription factor binding site motifs. Therefore, I further combine a large scale promoter sequence search with comparative genomics information. For most of the programming tasks I am using R and perl.
Currently I am doing a research internship at the Center for Developmental Biology RIKEN in the Systems Biology Laboratory in Kobe, Japan. I work on a project closely related to my PhD.-thesis of gene regulatory network of circadian clocks using different computational methods.

Research area:

I am studying the mechanism of hibernation in Arctic Ground Squirrel and American Black Bear. I use mainly ESTs and tandem-MS data in order to find the important genes in this process. So far, we have used the MS/MS spectrum to study the ground squirrel protein expression profile in liver, and in the future we want to design micro-array experiments and explore the mRNA expression in brain. For the moment, I am analysing Bear ESTs data.
