Dr. Eric Conway, Assistant Professor of Genetics at the University College Dublin, School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science, investigates chromatin architecture dysregulation in cancer. His work bridges epigenetics, transcriptional repression, and 3D genome regulation, with a focus on Polycomb complexes and histone modifications. He established his lab in 2022 after postdoctoral training at the European Institute of Oncology and doctoral work at Trinity College Dublin.
- Key Research Interests:
- Epigenetic mechanisms in cancer and developmental disorders
- Polycomb group proteins (PRC1, PRC2 variants)
- 3D chromatin organization and enhancer function
- Targeting chromatin regulators in leukemia and lymphoma
- Transcription factor addiction in oncogenesis
Scientific awards include the All Ireland Chromatin Consortium Poster Prize (2021) and Marie Curie Alumni Membership (2021). His grants span Science Foundation Ireland, Ministero della Salute, and Wellcome Trust. Recent publications highlight disease models for Weaver syndrome, BAP1-related cancers, and PRC2.2 subcomplexes.
