FAQ About Skirmantas Kriaucionis

• What is Skirmantas Kriaucionis's address?

  Skirmantas Kriaucionis is located at
  Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom

• What is Skirmantas Kriaucionis's job title?

  Skirmantas Kriaucionis is a
  Principal Investigator working on the epigenetic mechanisms in cancer and normal neuronal cells. Broad scientific interests: a) innovative ways to fund science to achieve the best impact; b) quality and reproducibility of science. Current group is investigating three directions - 1) How epigenetic DNA modifications impact on transcription? Are similar mechanisms employed in cancer and normal cells? 2) How DNA modifications affects mutability of the DNA? 3) How nucleotide metabolism is regulated for accurate, DNA modification free replication of DNA? The key achievements include identification of new MeCP2 isoform and characterisation of gene expression abnormalities in mouse model of Rett Syndrome (phD, University of Edinburgh, under supervision of Prof. Adrian Bird). Pioneering cell type specific analysis of neuronal chromatin resulted in identification of new DNA modification - 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (post-doctoral work, Rockefeller University, under supervision of Prof. Nathaniel Heintz). While leading independent group (University of Oxford), the investigator defined the mechanism in nucleotide metabolism enabling "clean" pool of nucleotides for DNA synthesis; proposed a new mechanism for one of the dominant mutational processes in cancer.
