Education History
The University of Iowa
Iowa City, Iowa USA
8/2005 - 12/2010
Degree:
Ph.D.
Description of Work:
Examined the role of nuclear receptors in the regulation of renin expression. Identified CTCF binding sites around the renin locus that may serve as insulators that help control the tissue specific regulation of renin.
