Transitions in development - an interview with Evgeny Kvon
Abstract:
Evgeny Kvon is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, USA. His lab studies non-coding regulatory DNA and its mechanistic role in the control of gene expression to understand more about development, disease and evolution. Last year, Evgeny received the National Institutes of Health Director's New Innovator Award. We spoke to Evgeny over Zoom to learn more about his career and the silver lining to starting a lab during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
