Adrian Francis Stewart

Professor Adrian Francis Stewart is affiliated with Dresden University of Technology, where he works at the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB) and the Biotechnology Center (Biotec) located at Tatzberg 47/49 in Dresden.

His research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms, particularly histone methylation and its role in development and disease. Key areas of investigation include:

• H3K4 methyltransferases (MLL3/MLL4) in mammalian development
• Regulation of pluripotency and cell lineage decisions
• Chromatin modifications in stem cell homeostasis
• Molecular networks in myeloid neoplasia
• Nuclear architecture of the Trithorax group

Professor Stewart leads significant research projects funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), with current work examining whether H3K4 methyltransferases shape the mammalian blueprint. His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding epigenetic regulation in development and disease processes.

He has received multiple DFG grants across various funding categories including material grants and priority programs, reflecting the significance of his research in molecular and cellular bioengineering.

Professor Stewart actively participates in major collaborative research initiatives including the Cluster of Excellence 'Physics of Life' and has contributed to graduate education through involvement with the Molecular Cell Biology and Bioengineering Graduate School and the International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering Dresden.
