Morozov Receives NIH Grant to Study Chromatin Structure |
February 13, 2009. Alex Morozov has received today a $1.07 Million NIH R01 grant to develop biophysical models for predicting nucleosome positioning within chromatin structure, discriminating between its intrinsic and extrinsic relationships to gene regulation, and determining its responses to environmental and genetic perturbations.
The NIH study section which reviewed Morozov's grant application, stated that:
"The subject is of very high relevance and potential impact to current thinking in molecular epigenetic research - with potentially wide-ranging implications for understanding bases of medical abnormalities and for the design of therapeutic strategies - and the approach is judged to be very innovative."
Professor Morozov is an Assistant Professor of Physics and a BioMaPS Institute faculty member. A description of his research can be found at: http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~morozov/
