## About us

Failure of correct gene regulation during foetal development usually results in death or severe congenital defects, and in adult life leads to disease including cancer. We use a combination of *Drosophila* genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and immunohistochemistry to study the mechanisms that transcription factors use to regulate gene expression during animal development.
