What Does it Look Like to 'Turn On' a Gene?
The Scientist - June 20, 2019
The research of Robert Singer, Ph.D., and colleagues has illuminated our understanding of gene activation, or transcription. Dr. Singer is professor and co-chair of anatomy & structural biology, the Harold and Muriel Block Chair in Anatomy & Structural Biology, and co-director of the Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center.
Science interviews Robert Singer, Ph.D., who is identified as a pioneer in the field of mRNA research, about the ongoing search to discover how proteins are placed in their correct destinations within a cell. Dr. Singer is professor and co-chair of anatomy & structural biology and co-director of the Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center at Einstein.

The Scientist interviews Robert Singer, Ph.D., regarding his new research finding that genes which create "housekeeping" proteins turn on and off randomly, not in a coordinated way, as previously thought. Dr. Singer notes that these genes are essentially "clueless," making proteins without concern to their need or eventual use. Dr. Singer is co-chair of the department of anatomy & structural biology and co-director of the Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center.
