Lorena’s laboratory experience started with her contribution in neuronal transdifferentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in Mexico, establishing chemical cocktails to induce neuron-like cells. Later in her internship, she developed ChIP and molecular assays to analyze Wiskott-Aldrich protein in mutant cell lines to provide genetic information about its potential pathogenic mechanisms. Currently, working in Chromatin Biochemistry Lab, she has been contributing to cell lines generation and characterization (mainly CRISPR/Cas-based). Lorena, together with other lab members, is pursuing to impact in the understanding of the function of the different linker histone variants and their influence in the biology of Stem Cells, and in chromatin.
