Dr Frederic Berger is a Senior Group Leader researching the impact of histone variants on indexing and structuring genetic information. Nationality: French. Current and Former Positions: INRA, Lyon, France Research Scientist. Research assistant professor. 1997-2004 Temasek Lifesciences Laboratory, Group Leader, Singapore 2004-2014.  

More than a simple scaffold for the DNA, the conserved proteins histones participate to regulations of genome activities. We explore how variants of core histones impact on genome expression, organization and inheritance. He  study interactions between histone variants with other chromatin modifications, contributing epigenetic landscapes that modulate cellular events in somatic and reproductive tissues. Chromatin Architecture and Function.
