Korneel Hens is a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University's School of Biological and Medical Sciences, specializing in Drosophila genetics and gene regulatory networks. His work bridges molecular biology, genomics, and evolutionary studies.
- Current project: TFTag (2022-2027, £1.14M BBSRC-funded) to create a Drosophila transcription factor library.
- Key collaborations: Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council, interdisciplinary teams in neuroscience and genomics.
Research focuses on:
- Transcriptional control mechanisms in Drosophila insulin-producing cells
- Apoptotic pathway evolution in aphids
- Functional characterization of gene regulatory networks
- Comparative studies between insect and human angiotensin-converting enzymes
- Chromatin dynamics during development
- Evolutionary conservation of molecular pathways
His publications span top journals like Molecular Ecology, PLoS Genetics, and Cell Reports, with over 15 recent articles demonstrating sustained research productivity. Awards include significant BBSRC grant funding for large-scale Drosophila studies.
Advising activities and student supervision details are not explicitly mentioned. He contributes to technical innovations like yeast one-hybrid screening methods and primer databases for qPCR.
