Steve Russell

Steve Russell is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Genetics. His research focuses on Development, Genomics, Genetics, Transcriptional regulation, and Transcription factors. He investigates transcriptional regulation and chromatin architecture at a genome-wide scale in Drosophila. His work employs techniques such as Genetics, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and Genome engineering. Russell is also the Acting Head of Department in the Department of Genetics.

Steven Russell is a researcher in the Department of Genetics at the University of Cambridge, specializing in Drosophila genetics, genomics, and development. His work focuses on understanding gene regulation, chromosomal structure, and the genetic basis of developmental processes. Russell has contributed significantly to the field through studies on Drosophila modENCODE, cis-regulatory maps, and gene expression patterns. His research also explores the use of transposable elements and CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive systems for genetic manipulation and disease control. His publications highlight the role of regulatory elements, insulator proteins, and sex-specific gene expression in development.
