RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Karpova manages the NCI Optical Microscopy Core. This facility specializes in live imaging, image deconvolution and microscopy quantification methods such as FRET and FRAP. Dr. Karpova conducts research focusing on the regulation of gene expression by chromatin remodelers by observing protein interaction in vivo in live yeast cells. Her research interests include: -the intracellular dynamics of chromatin remodelers, transcriptional activators and co-activators; and -the role of nuclear localization on gene expression as observed in live yeast cells by microscopy.
