Alexi Tallan

Alexi Tallan studies how proteins interact with DNA and chromatin (the packaged form of DNA in cells) to control gene activity, with a particular focus on the fusion protein PAX3::FOXO1, which is implicated in rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that arises in muscle tissue. The work combines biochemistry and epigenomics techniques, including tools that can artificially degrade specific proteins to study how genome structure is organized. This research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer-associated gene regulation.

Publication output was low or absent in the earlier part of the decade but has increased notably since 2023, suggesting a growing pace of research activity in recent years.
