Dr. Noelle Cutter By training I am a scientist in the field of molecular biology. My work focuses around epigenetics, changes and repair of DNA without actually changing the genetic sequence. I am interested in how it changes when people get cancer. Specifically, I look at an alteration in DNA called methylation, or adding a very small group (methyl) which consists of carbon and 3-hydrogens to the start site of genes in DNA. When that happens, the gene no longer is transcribed. Methylation is an epigenetic change that acts sort of like a light switch. When methyl is added, genes are turned off. When methyl is removed, genes are turned back on. It is a cool way that a cell can control when and how much to turn genes on/off. In our lab, we hypothesize that cancer cells interfere with this process to help them grow and divide uncontrollably. We are currently studying medulloblastoma, a rare type of pediatric brain cancer, and the role that methylation plays in gene regulation allowing tumors to grow and divide. By doing so, we hope to be able to better diagnose patients so we can treat them more efficiently. |
