The Berrens Lab is part of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford.

We study the role of locus-specific transposable element expression in development

Specifically, we:

(1) Uncover transposable element expression at unique loci between cells

(2) Discover locus-specific transposable element expression within cells and 

(3) Define rules of how transposable elements primarily control proximal and distal gene expression.


We are hiring. Please get in touch, if you are interested in joining us.
