Constantinos Chronis, PhD

Constantinos Chronis, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Chicago. He joined UIC in 2019, and he has a long-standing interest in deciphering how transcription factors (TFs) shape the epigenetic, transcriptomic, metabolic, and nuclear landscape during cell fate conversions. His lab explores the molecular and biophysical mechanisms by which pioneer transcription factors reprogram gene regulatory networks during early embryonic, endothelial, and hematopoietic stem cell fate transitions. He leads a multi-disciplinary team of trainees in his lab.
